title.generic

WarningSEO audit

Title is a framework default or placeholder such as "React App", "Create Next App", "Home" or "Untitled".

What to change

Replace the placeholder with a title that describes this page. In frameworks, set it per route (metadata export, <Head>, useHead, <svelte:head>, etc.).

The documentation on developers.google.com

A finding of this rule on a page carries the exact edits for that page: the markup it quotes, and what to write instead.

When it runs

Runs on every SEO audit: of a page, a crawl, a build directory or HTML. A warning is a problem that costs a page ranking, clicks or citations. Each finding takes 5 points off the page's score.

The severity here is the rule's usual one: a finding can be raised or lowered when the page gives a reason.

Run it, or skip it

Check a page for this rule alone, after a fix for instance:

npx @rivi-software/agentic-seo-check audit https://example.com --rule title.generic

Or from an assistant, with the MCP tool seo_audit_page:

{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "rules": [
    "title.generic"
  ]
}

To leave it out of an audit, pass --disable title.generic on the command, or disableRules: ["title.generic"] to a tool.
