Today's Tip: Review your title tags. Every important page should have a unique purpose.

Why it matters:

One of the first things I check on a dealership website is whether multiple pages have nearly identical title tags.

For example:

New Toyota Vehicles | ABC Toyota
New Toyota Cars | ABC Toyota

Toyota Inventory | ABC Toyota

If several pages target the same search intent, Google may struggle to determine which page is the best result. Instead, each page should have a clear purpose and communicate that purpose through a unique, descriptive title tag.

This also helps shoppers quickly understand what they'll find before they click.

Action Item:

Export your website's title tags using Screaming Frog, another SEO crawler or do this manually and look for duplicates. Focus first on your highest-value pages, including model, inventory, financing, service, and trade-in sections.

Takeaway:

Every important page should answer a different customer need, and its title tag should clearly reflect that.
 

✨ AI Highlights

Darren Stromain's third installment in a weekly dealer SEO tip series focuses on auditing title tags across dealership websites. The core insight is that pages with nearly identical title tags confuse Google about which page to rank, so each page should have a unique, descriptive tag that clearly signals its purpose. The action item directs dealers to use tools like Screaming Frog to export and review their site's title tags.
