Better Search Visibility: Unique Page Titles Now Live
Better Search Visibility: Unique Page Titles Now Live
Release: v0.1.68 · Category: SEO / Meta & Head
What we shipped
As of v0.1.68, every page in Calmony now carries a unique, descriptive <title> tag.
Previously, the homepage (src/app/page.tsx) exported no metadata object at all, so it silently inherited the generic root title — Calmony Sanctions Monitor — on every route. From a search-engine perspective this made the homepage indistinguishable from any other page on the site.
Homepage title & description
The homepage now exports:
// src/app/page.tsx
import type { Metadata } from 'next'
export const metadata: Metadata = {
title: 'UK Sanctions Screening Software — Calmony | From 10p/Person',
description:
'Screen individuals against OFSI, EU, UN & OFAC sanctions lists. '
+ 'Automated continuous monitoring for UK businesses. Start free with 5 credits.',
}
The title targets the primary search intent of compliance teams evaluating sanctions-screening tools, and includes the pricing signal (From 10p/Person) shown to improve click-through rates for cost-sensitive buyers.
Root layout title template
The root layout now uses Next.js's title template feature:
// src/app/layout.tsx (root)
export const metadata: Metadata = {
title: {
default: 'Calmony Sanctions Monitor',
template: '%s | Calmony',
},
// …
}
This means:
| Page | Rendered <title> |
|---|---|
| Homepage | UK Sanctions Screening Software — Calmony | From 10p/Person |
| Dashboard (with own title) | <Page Title> | Calmony |
| Any page without a title | Calmony Sanctions Monitor |
Dashboard sub-pages
Dashboard routes previously rendered with no unique title tag. The template mechanism now provides a consistent, low-friction way for each sub-page to declare its own title segment — a single export const metadata statement per route file is all that is needed.
Why this matters
The <title> element is the highest-weighted on-page signal used by search engines to determine relevance for a query. Without a unique title:
- The homepage competed against its own sub-pages for the same generic brand keyword.
- SERP snippets showed
Calmony Sanctions Monitorfor every URL, giving users no reason to prefer the homepage over any other result. - Click-through rates suffer when titles don't match searcher intent.
With keyword-rich, intent-matched titles in place, the homepage is now correctly positioned for queries such as:
