How do I systematically rewrite title tags for more clicks?
Q: Some pages rank but barely get clicked. What's the process to fix titles?
A: Short answer: find low-CTR-high-rank pages, rewrite, measure. Longer answer:
— In Search Console, sort pages by impressions. Spot ones ranking positions 3-10 with weak click-through.
— Those are your targets — they're SEEN but not clicked.
— Rewrite: lead with the keyword, add a hook (number, year, "how to," benefit). Keep under ~60 characters.
— Match the actual intent — promise what the searcher wants, don't clickbait.
— Change ONE thing at a time so you know what moved the needle.
— Note the date, wait 3-4 weeks, compare click-through.
A better title is the cheapest traffic win you'll ever make — no new content required.
