I hope you are a Blogger user (That’s why you are here, right).

Have you ever seen your blog in search results? Then, what comes first; blog title or post title?

If your answer is blog title, you are making a fatal mistake.

Why Post Title Matters More than Blog Title?

I know some of you are wondering why post title is more important than blog title. So, read on further to clear this out.

Google allows you to have only 65 characters in the search result title.

Yeah, it’s true. So, if your blog title has more than 65 characters, Google will not show your post title. Even if your blog title doesn’t cross the 65 border, it is impossible to show the post title fully.

Google is the widely used search engine all of us use to solve our queries. And, the post title plays a significant role in CTR. The web pages with the keywords (we search for) as post titles obviously get the most number of clicks. Guess what happens when you show blog title before post title.

Check this.

If you want to top in search results, you should give proper care to both on-page and off-page SEO. The pie chart given above shows the weight of each on page SEO factor in improving organic ranking. It clearly shows a whopping dominance of title over others.

Considering the fact that Google shows only 65 characters in search results, you should display post title first.
