When looking to improve search engine rankings, people are often bombarded with copious amounts of blogs regarding the different algorithms such as Panda, Pigeon, Possum and Penguin alongside other things that they find difficult to understand, however, one area in which these same people tend to overlook is the engagement and click-through rate associate with their organic listings. Of course, improving your search engine rankings is all good, however, this alone is not enough, and it is vital for all advertising within the organic search results to ensure that their listings are compelling and enticing.

Looking for opportunities to expand title tags
One sure way that people can increase their CTRs is to improve the effectiveness of their Page Titles – taking complete advantage of the increased space introduced in May last year, and being sure to include the highest priority keywords.
Top tip: It is always best practice to use a SERP preview tool when altering Meta Tags and such in order to gain a thorough understanding of how individual listing will appear visually in the search engine results.
Making meta tags more compelling
The best Title Tags are more often than not interesting, intriguing, descriptive and emotion-evoking – in many cases reading like newspaper headlines. It is vital that within Title Tags keywords are present too though. When creating Title tags people should always start by focusing on user intent, slipping in important SEO keywords afterwards.
In addition to this people must ensure that that their Meta Descriptions are also optimised only including keywords where they naturally fit, and instead using language and clever wording to entice the most users to click. After all Meta Descriptions have no explicit SEO value other than CTR.
