What we look for

These pages use the same title (the headline shown in search results and browser tabs) as another crawled page. Pages kept out of search, or that name another page as the one to show, are left out.

Why it matters

Pages with the same title look alike in search results, so searchers cannot tell them apart, and search engines find it harder to know which page answers which search.

How to fix

Give each page its own title that says what that page offers, in the CMS or the page template. If the title comes from a template, add the page's own topic to it.

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.duplicate
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.duplicate"
The HTML report
This link opens the finding in the report, and each finding shows its id.
crawl.html#finding=page_titles.duplicate
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": "...",
  "check_id": "page_titles.duplicate"
