But if your goal is to grow your website traffic or increase sales, merely appearing on the first page isn\u2019t enough. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Google progressively changing from a search engine into an answer engine, more and more search users are completing their search without leaving the SERPs. To win in today&#8217;s zero-click era, it&#8217;s become paramount for businesses to occupy more real estate in SERPs and be more visually engaging to search users. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your website is having little luck with increasing its organic traffic, your troubles may be attributed to low organic click-through-rates (CTR). Improving click-through performance is an essential facet of ensuring long-term online success, both on and off Google.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what can you do to improve your site\u2019s organic CTR?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you run an e-commerce shop, operate a cooking blog, or manage your client\u2019s site, these five well-tested CTR enhancing techniques will positively boost your organic CTRs, driving more targeted traffic to your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the best part? All of these techniques are easily actionable and are all within your control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Get creative with your title tags<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A traditional organic SERP listing has three main elements:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Headline: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A blue clickable link that denotes the title of the page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Description: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A brief snippet of what contents can be found on the page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>URL:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The internet address of a specific web resource.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your search listing\u2019s title tag (the headline) has significant importance to both the search engine and its users. As an HTML element, search engines use your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/seosherpa.com\/title-tag-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">title tag<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to understand better the information contained within the page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search visitors, on the other hand, use the title tag found in SERPs to make a first impression about your business. Because it\u2019s displayed in a prominent blue color, how you craft your title tag can be a make-or-break factor in its clickability, impacting organic CTR.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But search results aren\u2019t the only places where title tags are used. Because the &lt;title&gt; tag element is found in your page\u2019s HTML code, your title is also displayed at the top of your web browser\u2019s tab and when your content is shared across social media networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how should you write title tags to make them irresistible to search visitors?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are five fundamentals to apply to your title tag writing<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Aim for a title tag length of 35-55 characters<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to research performed by Backlinko, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/google-ctr-stats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">title tags between 15 and 40 characters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have the highest CTR. A title this short, however, can provide a challenge &#8211; how do you fit your keywords in and make the title tag compelling?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my experience, the sweet spot for a title tag is 35-55 characters in length. A length in that range keeps the title tag short and punchy and ensures it does not truncate in search results, which generally happens at around 60 characters or 600 pixels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use tools like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mangools.com\/free-seo-tools\/serp-simulator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SERP Simulator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and SERP Preview Tool to check title tag length.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Place your primary keyword closer to the beginning<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frontloading your title tag with your target keyword increases that keyword\u2019s prominence, giving more weight to its importance. Plus, most users typically only see the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/first-2-words-a-signal-for-scanning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first two words<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0of any given headline. Placing your keyword at the beginning helps to make the keyword more obvious, and thus appear more relevant to users scanning the SERPs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Never keyword stuff<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While keyword placement is essential, avoid titles that are just filled with irrelevant keywords or variations of your target keyword. Title tags stuffed full of keywords are unappealing to search users and are CTR killers. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Add emphasis on capitalization<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capitalizing the first letter of every word in your title tag is general copywriting best practice. To make your title tag stand out even more and add emphasis to high-impact words, consider capitalizing the occasional odd word.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Minimize the use of stop words<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stop words like &#8220;a&#8221;, &#8220;the&#8221;, &#8220;on&#8221;, &#8220;or&#8221;, and, &#8220;etc.&#8221;, can add unnecessary length to your already restricted character limit. To better position your title tag, use high impact, power words like best, exclusive, insane, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve mastered the art of title-tag writing, it\u2019s time to move on to the next step.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2. Meta descriptions<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The snippet below the headline in the SERPs is commonly (but not always) pulled from your page&#8217;s meta description. In addition, an HTML element, the purpose of a meta description is to summarize a web page&#8217;s content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And like your page title tag, a well-written meta description can positively influence CTRs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These 155 characters can influence <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/seo-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">43% of search users<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to click on your site. And with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/searchenginewatch.com\/2012\/08\/23\/organic-vs-paid-search-results-organic-wins-94-of-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nine out of ten<\/a> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">search users clicking on organic search results vs paid advertisement, meta descriptions are your opportunity to draw some attention to your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How to write the perfect meta description<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to writing the most compelling meta description for search results, start by researching SERPs. Having oversight on what your competitors are doing will help you better assess what descriptions are click-worthy among your target audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s a quick checklist you can use to ensure your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/searchenginewatch.com\/2016\/05\/26\/how-to-write-meta-descriptions-for-seo-with-good-and-bad-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meta description is highly clickable<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Stick to Google&#8217;s optimal length<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To optimize your meta description, be sure to keep the page&#8217;s summary under 160 characters and 130 characters for mobile searches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Add your most important keywords<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to include your target keyword(s) in the description so they get highlighted in bold within search results.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Write descriptive copy<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To further create snippets that entice search users to click, avoid generic descriptions as much as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Don&#8217;t duplicate descriptions\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pages of your site should have unique meta descriptions. Duplicating descriptions can cause Google to penalize your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include a call-to-action<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To add value to your description and entice more clicks, write your description with advertising in mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a lot of pages on your site, just focus on optimizing the most important pages. Why is this you would ask?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because Google <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/meta-description-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ignores the meta description tag<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for 63% of queries. Focussing your efforts on pages getting little SERP visibility is not worth the time, especially when Google&#8217;s descriptions perform equally well, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchpilot.com\/resources\/case-studies\/seo-split-test-lessons-forcing-google-respect-meta-descriptions-data-nosnippet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sometimes better<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than custom descriptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that title tags and meta descriptions have been addressed, it&#8217;s time to turn our attention to URLs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Use descriptive URLs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third element of a traditional search listing is your page URL. And studies have shown that a well-optimized, keyword-rich URL can\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/google-ctr-stats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increase organic CTRs by 45%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After all, when it comes to URLs in search results, wouldn\u2019t you prefer to click on\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">example.com\/blog\/ten-tips-for-seo-success<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0rather than <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">example.com\/index.php?=5754225=t44=?p=987?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what are the steps necessary to craft click-worthy SEO-friendly URLs?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is to include the exact keyword you\u2019d like to target in your URL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When writing out your URL, avoid using special characters, stop words, and numbers. Special characters like the ampersand or \u201c&amp;\u201d and numbers are best suited for your page title tag or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/seosherpa.com\/header-tags\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">header tag<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Be sure also to only use lowercase letters and hyphens to separate words rather than underscores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, keep your URL length short. Some studies have shown there is a correlation between shorter URLs and higher rankings. The average <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/search-engine-ranking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">URL length of top-ten ranking pages<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is 66 characters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you grasp the basic SERP strategies to increase CTR performance let\u2019s take a look at two advanced techniques you can start using on your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>4. Turn your title tag donkeys into CTR unicorns<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it may be tempting to simply write a title tag and forget it, to get the very best results from your organic listing, you need to constantly optimize your title tags. As <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/blog\/higher-organic-click-through-conversion-rates-rankings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Larry Kim<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows, this requires testing new variations and measuring their performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to fully optimize your title tags is to determine your site&#8217;s worst performers. These title tags we&#8217;ll call your donkeys. The best way to assess which title tags are underperforming is by going to Google Search Console and downloading your query data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have your query data, plot a graph that compares your Click-Through-Rates vs. Average Position for any queries you rank for in organic search. Add a trend line to your graph.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have your graph, target the keywords below the graph&#8217;s curve. These are your site&#8217;s biggest donkeys, the pages with the highest number of impressions but deliver lower than expected CTR for their ranking position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To maximize your efforts, rather than testing new title tags and comparing their performance over time, consider doing some Google Ads &#8220;blitz testing.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blitz testing requires you to create a set of ads for the page you&#8217;re optimizing and testing at least 10 different headlines. 10 headlines are the bare minimum for blitz testing because it gives you a better chance at finding the headline that resonates best with your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you find your statistical unicorn from the Google Ads test, use that headline as your title tag on your re-optimized page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last hack we\u2019ll be looking at will not only bring more visibility to your listing, but it has also been shown to bring in\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/analyticsseo\/kenichi-suzuki-how-to-make-your-websites-stand-out-in-search?ref=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.7x more traffic from organic search<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>5.
