Is this TITLE tag OK?

    The site is an Asian weddings directory. The page URL in question is: mysite.com/directory/caterers/north-west.htm

    The TITLE text I'm proposing to use is as follows:

    "Asian Wedding Caterers, Indian Caterers, Vegetarian Caterers in North West - Manchester, Liverpool, Bolton"

    Is this a good TITLE text to use? If not, what's the best I can get away with?

    Your dominant keyword in the title is caterers.

    Well that's just one category in the directory, there are other similar categories, e.g photographers and venues; the category name will be the main keyword.

    My concern is whether the title text contains too many keywords.

    if your main keyword that you want results for is "Asian Wedding Caterers" then its good. You need to decide/examine the best 2-3 keywords/phrases and start your title tag with that

    The main keyword is actually "caterers" but the phrases I also want to target are "Asian Wedding Caterers, Indian Caterers, Vegetarian Caterers"

    Then the Locations I have also included at the end "North West - Manchester, Liverpool, Bolton" as I would like the page to appear in Google if for example someone searches for "Indian Caterers in Manchester".

    It's too long. It should be 70 characters max. Right now it's 107.
    This title looks too spammy to me. Try to make it more attractive in order to improve your CTR.

    I'd keep it shorter and try to target you keywords better, probably 4-8 words max.

    Hi
    I wonder what is your main keyword.But if "Asian Wedding Caterers" is your main keyword then i suggest you include your domain name keyword in the list and be specific with the keyword you want to use.
