Rule site.duplicate-titles

De-duplicate page titles

site.duplicate-titles 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: medium

Why it matters

Multiple pages with the same `<title>` are a strong signal to search engines that the pages are near-duplicates: they'll consolidate them, picking one as canonical and dropping the rest. AI assistants downgrade their citation confidence the same way. Differentiate every title with the section, product, or topic.

The fix

```html
<!-- Before: every product page shares the same title -->
<title>Products: Brand Name</title>
<title>Products: Brand Name</title>
<title>Products: Brand Name</title>

<!-- After: each page disambiguates the product name -->
<title>Crawlmind Audit: Brand Name</title>
<title>Crawlmind Citation Tracker: Brand Name</title>
<title>Crawlmind Code Fixes: Brand Name</title>
```
