Which title should I go for? or what are your suggestions on how I should edit the titles? 1: 2: 3: Should the homepage title contain 'Home'? and subsequent pages contain their page titles? eg contact page include 'Contact' in the title?
Option 1. It gets the message out without repeating words as option 2 does. Option 3 has the company name first which could be misunderstood by a user that is skimming through the search results. The homepage should contain "Croydon Web & Graphics Design - Klikkit" and subsequent pages should contain their own titles, yes.
The reason I ask about the 'repeating' is because of this: If I leave out the first 'Design' it doesn't match with the focus keyword, does that matter? Also, I don't see how it's possible to match each of these criteria:
That's the thing, I'm completely new to SEO, so I don't know what results I should be looking for, and how important each of those factors (Yes (1)/No etc) are.. I mean, would it make more sense for me to go with; 1: or 2:
Or why not tie more search terms together like > Web Design Cryden Graphic Design Code (markup): that way you have both search terms > "Web Design Cryden" and "Cryden Graphic Design" Code (markup): in one there really is nothing wrong with a little repitition in titles either Web Design Cryden, Cryden web design services Code (markup): for example try it on a page here and there and you might be surprised. Just don't go over the top. PS I changed some spelling above just in case Don't want to use your key phrases
Off course, first title! Because, it has keyword first, and keyword optimization is your main aim, any word, keyword is put first, is given higher importance..
I think you should read the guide line for SEO as you don't know how to put your keyword on your page, such as , Title, H1 tag, Descriptions , Keywords tag, h3 tag, alt info etc....
