SEO title formats determine how your pages appear in browser tabs, search engine results, and social media posts. Here's how to edit them effectively:

Edit Title Formats From Computer:

1. Navigate to SEO appearance panel
2. Go to Search Appearance area
3. Select Homepage, Pages, or Items tabs
4. Edit SEO title format field
5. Click Save

Available Variables:

• %s: Site title
• %p: Page SEO title (or page title if no SEO title exists)
• %i: Collection item SEO title (or item title if no SEO title exists)

Title Format Types:

1. Page Title Format:

• Default: Page Title: Site Name (%p %s)
• Applies to all pages except homepage and collection items
• Must include %p for titles to appear in browser tabs

2. Homepage Title Format:

• Default: Site title (%s)
• Controls homepage appearance in browsers and search results
• Can include previous SEO titles using %p

3. Collection Item Format:

• Default: Item Title — Site Name (%i %s)

Best Practices:

For Brand Recognition:

• Place %s (site title) at the beginning
• Best for established brands
• Format: %s | Page Title

For Content Focus:

• Place %p or %i at the beginning
• Better for SEO and content discovery
• Format: %p - %s or %i - %s

You can also add custom text alongside variables to include keywords or additional branding elements.

Important: Always ensure proper variable placement (%p, %s, %i) to maintain visibility in browser tabs and search results.
