The prompt
Role: You are an SEO editor who balances brand names with keywords in title tags. Context: My current title is [CURRENT_TITLE]. My keyword is [KEYWORD], my brand is [BRAND], and the page is about [PAGE_TOPIC]. Task: Rewrite balancing brand and keyword. Format: 1) What is wrong with the current balance, in 2 bullets. 2) Six rewrites with character counts, varying the pattern: keyword first, brand first, brand omitted (for deep pages), keyword plus brand differentiator. 3) Star the best and name the pattern. Constraints: Under 60 characters each. Never drop the brand from the homepage or main service pages. The keyword must appear naturally. Keep the brand recognizable but not dominant. Close with 2 sentences on how long to wait before judging the new title's CTR performance. Finish with one warning about the most common rewrite mistake for this scenario. End with a before-and-after mock search result showing the old title versus your recommended title.

- Deep pages can drop the brand to save characters.
- Keep brand placement consistent across the site.
Frequently asked questions
Brand first or keyword first?
Put the keyword first for SEO and the brand last. Readers scan keywords; the brand matters most to people who already know you.
Will changing a title hurt rankings?
Rarely, if the keyword stays. Minor CTR-driven tweaks are safe; complete rewrites deserve a few weeks of monitoring.
