Info

What we look for

These page titles (the headline shown in search results and browser tabs) are narrower than 200 pixels in Raptor's estimate of how Google draws them. Only pages search engines may list are counted.

Why it matters

A narrow title uses little of the space search results give it, which usually means it leaves out words that would help searchers choose the page.

How to fix

Expand each title in the CMS or page template to say what the page offers, for example the product or service and the place.

What it cannot know

Width is Raptor's estimate in the font Google uses on desktop. The real cut-off varies with the device and the letters used.

Seen in a real crawl

From a crawl of Millbrook Hardware (the broken fixture), a test site from Raptor’s fixture suite.

Where you’ll see it

The id is stable, and every surface uses it, so it’s the thing to search for or hand to an agent.

Terminal
When it is one of the five findings under Fix first, raptor crawl prints the id under it.
Check: page_titles.below_200_pixels
crawl.json and the CSV
The crawl JSON names the finding by this id, and so do the CSV and raptor_query.
"check_id": "page_titles.below_200_pixels"
The HTML report
This link opens the finding in the report, and each finding shows its id.
crawl.html#finding=page_titles.below_200_pixels
MCP
raptor_findings with this check_id returns the finding in full, with a fix brief ready to paste into a task. If it didn’t fire, it says why.
raptor_findings {
  "job_id": "...",
