Adding your website name to page title

Would you like to add your website name to each page title? That's easy in Joomla

How do I add my website name to page title in Joomla?

Go to "System > Global Configuration"

In the first tab "Site" you will see your website name that you entered during the installation of Joomla.

Paginatitel websitenaam

In the “SEO” section at the bottom of the page, you will see the option “Site name in page titles.”

sitename in pagetitles

You can disable this option if you do not want to show your website name in the page titles.

You can choose to show your website name before the page title. You will get: Website name - Page title

You can also choose to show your website name after the page title. You will get Page title - Websitename

I prefer the latter option because the page title shows the content of the page and that is what people are looking for in Google.

 

Tips for your website name in the page title

  • Add to your website name the most important keyword. Your website name (or company name) doesn't always have to directly tell you what you do. In my case "Joomill" says nothing about the service I provide. By adding "Joomla Specialist" after that, you (and Google) know what I do.
  • Don't make your website name too long. The title of a page is adopted by search engines in the search results but there is a limited space for that, up to 70 characters. If you use more characters it will automatically be truncated by Google.

  • A title that is too short can also cause the title not to be adopted.
