Title tag word frequency

Read the word counts

Each row is a word, with the number of ranking titles that use it and its share of all the titles read. A title counts once per word, however often it repeats it. Common words such as the, for and how are hidden by default. Untick the box to see them, because a question word like "how" can say a lot about what the searcher wants.

Write a title from the shared words

Start with the words that appear in most titles. They tell you what the searcher expects to see, such as "guide", "cost" or a year. Then add one thing the other titles do not say, so yours stands out in the list (a test you ran, a number, a narrower audience). Words in only one title tell you about that one site, not the results page.

Keep the result under about 600 pixels so Google does not cut it. The title tag and meta description checker measures a finished title on desktop and mobile.

What the counts cannot tell you

A shared word is a pattern, not a ranking factor. Pages rank for what they contain and who links to them, and the title is a small part of that. Results also move by country and through the day, so check again before you rewrite a title that already gets clicks. To see the full results page with each site's Domain Rating, use the SERP checker.

Draft titles with your AI agent

With SEO Skill your agent can read the live results with seo research and your own DataForSEO key, count the shared words, and draft titles next to the queries your page already gets in Search Console. Ask:

Read the top 50 Google titles for my main keyword on example.com/guide, count the words they share, and draft three titles that use them
