Why this matters

Think of these three as the page's ID card. The page title is the name at the top — what shows in the browser tab and what AI repeats when it mentions the business. The main headline is the big title visitors see on the page itself. The page description is the one-line summary under the business name in search results. Missing two or more means the page has effectively no ID — AI has to guess what it's about, and guesses get skipped.

Fix it

The page needs all three. Each has its own article with exact per-platform steps — work through them in order:

  1. Page title — business name, what the client does, the city; under 60 characters.

    Fix the page title →

  2. Main headline (H1) — one per page, near the top, with the business name, trade, and city.

    Add an H1 heading →

  3. Page description — one or two sentences on what the client does and where; under 155 characters.

    Write the page description →

Use the same words

All three should say the same thing in different lengths: the title is the short version, the headline is the on-page version, the description is the two-sentence version. Consistent wording across all three is what makes the page's identity stick.

Example

For a bar in Pittsburgh:

  • Title: "Park Social Bar — Neighborhood Bar in Pittsburgh"
  • Headline: "Park Social Bar — Neighborhood Bar in Pittsburgh"
  • Description: "Neighborhood bar in Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville with 24 taps, a late-night kitchen, and live DJs on weekends."

After publishing

Run a new SERAVERRA scan of the site. The checks read the page's title, headline, and description fresh each time — once all three are there, the flag clears.
