How to use this prompt
Export duplicates from a crawler or Search Console, then run per page or per template. Fix templates first to prevent new duplicates. Verify uniqueness with a re-crawl.
Tips for the best results
- Fix the template, not just the pages; templates prevent future duplicates.
- Product differentiators (size, color, feature) make natural unique titles.
- Re-crawl after fixing to confirm zero duplicates remain.
Frequently asked questions
Do duplicate titles hurt SEO?
Yes. Duplicate titles confuse Google about which page to rank and waste the chance to target specific keywords per page.
How often should I rewrite titles?
When CTR is low in Search Console or titles are truncated, duplicated, or stuffed. Otherwise leave ranking titles alone.
