Rule page.title.missing

Add a unique <title> element

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

Impact: highEffort: lowFixable: 1-click

Why it matters

Both Google Search and AI crawlers use the page title as the primary label in results. A missing title forces them to synthesise one from H1 / URL: usually worse than what you would have written.

The fix

```html
<title>Page Title – Brand Name</title>
```

Aim for 50–60 characters. Lead with the page-specific phrase and put the brand suffix at the end.
