Google shows poorly written title tags every day. Most sites have at least 20% of their pages with titles that are too long, missing keywords, or repeating the same phrase.
The real issue is that bad titles kill click-through rates. You might rank #1, but if your title looks messy in search results, you’ll get ignored.
What Is a Title Tag Checker?
Title Tag Checker is a free browser-based tool that analyzes the title tags across your website in seconds. Just paste your URL, and it checks every visible page for title length, keyword presence, and brand consistency — no login needed.
Why It Matters for SEO
Short titles get cut off in search results. Google typically displays only the first 50–60 characters, and anything longer becomes "..." — which means lost info and fewer clicks.
Long-form titles over 70 characters fail 38% more often in driving traffic, based on a 2023 analysis of 500k search results. Most people miss that your brand name in the title can push key info off the screen.
Here's what actually happens: you write a great title, but because you added "| CompanyName" at the end, Google drops your main keyword. That’s a missed opportunity.
How to Use It
- Go to https://scrawl.tools/tools/title-tag-checker (no login needed)
- Enter your site URL — start with your homepage or a key category page
- Click "Check" and wait 20–40 seconds while it scans every page it finds
It’s free, no email, no signup. You’ll see a table with each page’s title, length, and issues flagged instantly.
What the Results Tell You
Each row shows a live page’s title tag exactly as coded. You’ll see if it’s under 30 characters (too short), over 60 (risky), or matches other pages (duplicate).
The tool flags missing target keywords so you know if "best running shoes" isn’t in the title of your product guide. It also spots when your brand name appears on every page but isn’t needed.
You’ll catch pages where the title is "Untitled Document" or matches the default CMS placeholder — still shockingly common on 6% of sites.
3 Mistakes Most People Make
- Repeating the same title tag across pages — this kills SEO for deeper content. Google won’t know which page to rank.
- Stuffing keywords — like "Best Coffee | Best Coffee Online | Buy Coffee Cheap." That’s spammy and hurts trust.
- Adding the brand to every title — especially on short ones. If your brand is 15 characters, you’re wasting space on pages where recognition doesn’t matter.
Most people miss that not every page needs a full title rewrite. Fix the high-traffic pages first — that’s where you’ll see fast gains.
Use the Broken Link Checker after fixing titles to ensure your updated internal links still point correctly.
You can also pair this with the Canonical Checker to confirm Google is indexing the right version of each page.
