Should my homepage title tag include my brand name?

Yes. Your homepage title tag should always include your brand name. The question is whether to put it at the start or end. Placing it first works well for established brands. Putting the category keyword first can help newer sites rank faster.

Is the homepage more important than other pages for SEO?

The homepage typically attracts the most backlinks, which gives it the most domain authority. However, individual product, service, or blog pages often rank for specific keywords more effectively than the homepage.

What is the og:site_name tag and should I include it?

og:site_name specifies the name of your website (distinct from the specific page title). It is displayed by some platforms like Facebook next to the URL. It is good practice to include it on all pages.

How It Works

1
Define your primary brand keyword

2
Write a one-sentence value proposition
Summarise what your site offers in one clear sentence. This becomes your meta description foundation.
3
Prepare your homepage image
Select or create a 1200x630px branded image for social sharing via OG and Twitter Card tags.
4
Generate and implement
Generate the full tag set and paste it into your homepage <head> section. Verify using Google Search Console's URL Inspection tool after deploying.

Use this when launching a new website, rebranding, or auditing your homepage SEO to ensure your most important page sends the right signals to search engines and visitors.

Pro tips

Get better results with these expert suggestions:

Lead with your brand name in the title tag

For homepages, placing your brand name first (e.g., "FixTools | Free Online Tools for Developers and Creators") makes the most sense because users searching your brand name will see an exact match.

Write your description to explain what you do in one sentence

Homepage visitors often arrive not knowing exactly what your site offers. A clear, one-sentence description of your core value proposition outperforms clever but vague marketing copy.

Use a branded, high-resolution OG image

Your homepage OG image is your digital billboard on social media. Use a branded graphic that communicates your value proposition visually — not just a logo on a white background.
