Fantastic video Nathan. Very well explained. You are one of few SEO guys who provide real value to everyone in this crowded SEO market.

Now coming to your question on SEO mistake. I saw you are mentioning 2 different keywords which are St Louis Personal injury lawyers and Auto accident attorneys in St Louis in title.

In my opinion, Google loves a single title tag for a single page. But if it founds multiple title tags on a single page. This can result in confusing search engines over which title tag to show in search results, when a user submits his query regarding same. Google may also over write both of the tag titles.

Also, this is a very competitive keyword and when we enter any query like St Louis Personal injury lawyers and compare top few searches except map results on page 1. We can find that they are using some modifiers which can increase chances of clicking on their website even if that website is not on first position.


Modifiers like Best, Top increases chances of clicking and since it is a high cpc keyword around 95 dollars. These small modifications can help these companies gain organic traffic and win the game of traffic without spending money on ppc.

Thanks.

Hi Nathan, I'm having a particular issue. Google is showing my meta titles on search suffixing a previous category to the title with h3. I don't know where it is pulling this from. Even though i change the title, this previous category still gets suffixed to the title.

[zapofertasnet]

Thanks Nathan, I have learned so much with yours videos. I think the correct answer was already given, the title is longer than 60 words and the keyword is used twice in title ( should use LSI and variations )

Hi Nathan! A very valuable video, love watching your videos as they bring a ton of insight on the table. Also, I would like to participate in the Gotch SEO Academy access giveaway, so here is my submission:

The SEO mistake you are highlighting in the Thumbnail is Title tag optimization, one of the most important on page factors in my opinion.

Proper optimization of title tags not only helps Google bots understand what your page is about, but also helps with CTR, which is a huge ranking factor once you are in top 10.

The best approach towards using a proper title is making sure your target keyword is present in the title, there are some modifiers or numbers present like "11 tips" or "2019" which makes it attractive and also making sure the title is persuasive enough to make the visitors want to click and check out more as well as use a secondary keyword if there is a scope for it.

A perfect example is the most recent post on GotchSEO blog: How to Learn SEO in 2019 (According to 130 Experts)

1) It has the primary long-tail keyword in it: "How to Learn SEO"
2) Once the post gains some authority & links it has potential to rank for the main short keyword with higher volume: "Learn SEO"
3) The title has a number modifier present in to make it not only stand out and give the user the impression that the guide is upto date, but also rank for some additional keywords like: "learn seo in 2019" or "how to learn seo in 2019"
4) It has good click bait in it for the searchers to want to click the result, hence helping with CTR: (According to 130 Experts)

Just my 2 cents :)

Thanks,
Qaiser

Dude.. you got so much fluff in your this video. Anyone who is looking to optimize SEO already know the important of SEO and you spending half of your screen time ranting about the market share of SEO is pure time waster. And really, number 7 will ruin the SEO effort. That's fucking Buzzfeed style introduction. I liked your other SEO videos but it seems you are lowering your content quality with this kind of fluff.
