Rule page.title.generic

Replace the generic page title

page.title.generic is a check in Crawlmind's site audit that grades medium-impact issues of this kind. This page explains why the rule matters and the exact fix.

Impact: mediumEffort: lowFixable: 1-click

Why it matters

Titles like "Home", "Page", "Untitled", or the bare brand name carry zero topical signal. Google often rewrites them in the SERP (you lose control of the headline), and AI assistants quoting the page treat the title as noise. Even a 4-word descriptive title beats the placeholder.

The fix

```html
<!-- Before -->
<title>Home</title>
<title>Untitled</title>
<title>Brand</title>

<!-- After: lead with what the page actually answers -->
<title>Audit your site for ChatGPT: Brand</title>
```
