Override default title tag set in head section by putting another for better SEO

Is it good to override default title tags in following scenario?

  • I am using nested master pages on my website (ASP.Net).

  • By default the titles in head section (that appear in the address bar) are set to default title -- say mywebsite.com - {active page name}.

  • On a certain page, I want to display some more important information in title (for better SEO results) -- say mywebsite.com - {page title} - {some more important information}

Your opinion with expertise is highly appreciated.

Solution

  • Yes, I'd agree with your approach with one caveat - the most important stuff should come first in the title, not last. So it would be more like:

    {some more important information} - {page title} - mywebsite.com

    See how stack overflow does titles as a good example.
