Why this matters
When someone asks an AI assistant about businesses like yours, the page title is often the first thing it reads — and the name it repeats back. No title means AI has to invent one. A title that's too long gets cut off mid-thought ("Joe's Pizza — Best Italian Restaurant in Pitts…"), which looks broken wherever it appears.
Business name — what you do in your city. Keep it under 60 characters. Example: "Park Social Bar — Neighborhood Bar in Pittsburgh" (52 characters).
