Hi

The nice people at BING have sent me a report highlighting the fact I have 129 pages on my website with identical titles.

The message states

Having duplicated title tag values can negatively impact a website’s SEO performance. Title tags are HTML elements that define the title of a web page and summarize its contents. They are important for both search engines and users, as they help search engines understand the content of the page and help users decide whether to click on the page in search results. When multiple pages on a website have the same title tag, it can create confusion for both search engines and users. Search engines may have difficulty determining which page is the most relevant for a given query, and users may have difficulty distinguishing between pages in search results. This can result in lower click-through rates, reduced traffic, and lower search engine rankings.
To avoid these issues, it is important to ensure that each page on a website has a unique, descriptive title tag that accurately reflects the content of the page. This can help improve the website’s SEO performance and provide a better user experience for visitor.

I cannot find where these are located as everything appears to be correct in my titles and descriptions and they are not duplicated. I am clearly missing something. Can you help tell me to understand where this is amended? As you can tell I am not great technically and very much learning!!

I am using WordPress.org with the Newspaper theme from Tagdiv

Three affected pages including my homepage are :

https://www.justonefortheroad.com/
https://www.justonefortheroad.com/travel-blogger-directory/
https://www.justonefortheroad.com/travel-competitions/

Look forward to the solution

thank you

Rupert

Hello Rupert,

You need to check your settings from the SEO plugin for each page to see where the pages have identical title tags.
Regardless of the platform you’re using, these SEO plugins typically offer functionalities to:

  • Set custom title tags for each page or post.
  • Preview how your title tag will appear in search engine results pages (SERPs).
  • Analyze the length and relevancy of your title tags for SEO purposes.
  • Provide suggestions and guidance on optimizing your title tags for better performance.

    • By utilizing these SEO plugins, you can efficiently manage your title tags and other SEO elements of your website https://www.semrush.com/blog/duplicate-title-tags/

    Thank you!
