Easy rules to creating great titles that will be read every time

16 June 2016 By Port Elizabethan Leave a Comment

Easy rules to creating great titles that will be read every time:

The life of a Public Relations expert is sometimes frustrating – especially when it comes to the titles of press releases – oftentimes clients do not understand that in order to convert readers into buyers that articles (especially titles) need to offer some form of a benefit. Traditionally clients want to see their names in the titles of articles – this seems to give them some form of satisfaction at the expense of conversions.

With reference to this recent Article Title submitted to MyPR: Social media influencer and radio presenter, Edward Chamberlain-Bell, is turning up the heat for Johannesburg foodies and restauranteers alike with his foodie meetups hash-tagged #DineJoziStyle *.

If one looks at the Google Result displayed you will see that only a small set of the title is displayed: Social media influencer and radio presenter, Edward Chamberlain … – to be precise a total of 67 characters (with spaces) is displayed.

#DineJoziStyle

Craft your article titles to fit within 60 to 67 characters for the best exposure on Search Engines

Why is this a big deal you may ask?

  1. People are more likely to click on a ‘complete’ title without the …
  2. A long title is less likely to result in it and the article being read
  3. Keeping your title snappy and inviting people’s curiosity to read more will result in better conversions
  4. Getting your keywords (or meat of the article) within the first 65 characters will result in better exposure and ranking in the Search Engines

We at www.MyPR.co.za recommend that you keep your title to 65 characters in length and concentrate on titles that invite people to read more by posing questions, offering solutions, piquing curiosity and creating a sense of urgency.

Take the title of this article: Easy rules to creating great titles that will be read every time – it is in the optimum length of 64 characters (with spaces); it offers a benefit/recipe (easy rules to), invokes curiosity (creating great titles) and an outcome (that will be read every time).

To Your Success!

* Only chosen because it was the longest title submitted today to MyPR and we are sure that Edward would appreciate the additional boost that will be given to #DineJoziStyle
