SEO title formats help determine how your pages appear in browser tabs, search results, and social media. Here's how to optimize them for maximum visibility:

Edit your title formats by accessing SEO settings and modifying the following sections:

• Homepage title format
• Page title format
• Collection item title format

Available Variables:

• %s: Site title
• %p: Page SEO title (or page title if no SEO title exists)
• %i: Collection item SEO title (or item title if no SEO title exists)

Page Title Format:

• Default format: Page Title: Site Name (%p: %s)
• Appears on all pages except homepage and collection items
• Must include %p to display in browser tabs and search results

Homepage Title Format:

• Default format: Site title (%s)
• When using %p on homepage:
  • Pulls previous SEO title if page was converted to homepage
  • Uses page title if no SEO title exists

Collection Item Title Format:

• Default format: Item Title — Site Name (%i - %s)
• Used for blog posts, products, events, and album tracks
• Must include %i to display in browser tabs and search results

Optimization Tips:

1. Brand-First Strategy:

   • Place %s at the beginning to emphasize your brand
   • Best for established companies with brand recognition

2. Content-First Strategy:

   • Place %p or %i at the beginning to highlight specific content
   • Ideal for bloggers and multi-tab browsing
   • Helps with content-specific SEO ranking

Example: For a site "Healthy Life":

• Blog post: "Healthy Vegan Dinners for One - Healthy Life"
• Event page: "Meal Planning Workshop - Healthy Life"

Remember to use custom text and keywords strategically in your title formats for better SEO performance.
