🚀 Breaking SEO “Rules”: The Case for Long Title Tags

Think title tags over 60 characters are bad for SEO? Think again. Injecting relevant keywords into title tags—even beyond 200 characters—has consistently improved rankings.

📈 Joel Headley’s test on healthcare sites showed a 15% visibility boost by adding neighborhood names to titles.

Why it works:
✔️ Google reads the entire tag, even if it cuts off in search results.
✔️ More terms = higher chances of ranking for more queries.
✔️ No negative impact on user experience.

It’s time to rethink “best practices.” Will you try this? Learn more here 👇

I've also seen people grilled for saying that SEO is in fact quite easy and doesn't get much more challenging over time...

So which is it? 😅 🙈

@ChouinardJC @rustybrick @methode Can explain why he said use long titles? Is it to stuff more keywords? Or repeat them? I’ve heard others says that.
