Is there a way to have a different Title Tag for knowledgebase posts?

mikebernardez — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 17:33:25 GMT

Currently, whatever the title of the post is is what gets used in the <title> tag (and the <h1> tag, rightly so on the <h1>)

However, the title tag is also using the exact same content as the h1.

Given this example: you can see it's the same. Ideally, we'd like to add a prefix/suffix to the title tag so it's clearer from the get-go that this page is a knowledgebase Article, like:

- Connect your personal email | HubSpot Knowledge Base

Thank you!

Hi @mikebernardez it's not currently possible to control the meta data for knowledge base articles, the good news is that this idea is currently in planning.

I've chatted with one of the product managers for knowledge base several months ago and there are several improvements coming for KB, many of which are already in private beta.

I'd hang tight and keep an eye out for the product updates, they're coming and will offer a lot of flexibility!

Hi have a problem with this. H1 and Title Tag is read as duplicate tags on SEMrush. I tried to change the h1 and Title Tag went same as I changed it. May I know if there's a way to modify one of them without affecting the other?

Hi @Siyuan as far as I know, this is not currently possible. As I mentioned below, there are updates in planning that should resolve this issue once released.

Hi there,

Has this solution been fixed. SEMrush is reporting 42 knowledge base articles with duplicate H1 headings to the title tags. Would like to get this resolved for SEO purposes.

Are we able to change them individual so they do not duplicate?

@LKelman not that I'm aware of, but duplicate title tags and H1s do not have any negative implication on rankings - some believe it provides a consistent experience because the title they clicked on in SERPs matches the title on the page. FWIW, I consider this a false flag and not worth the time or effort to worry about.

Thanks for the tag @BérangèreL and welcome to the community @Laille! Unfortunately there isn't an easy workaround for this limitation. If the prefix/suffix convention is important, the only real workaround is to recreate the content type using CMS pages or a custom CMS-powered KB where you can define separate fields and control <title> via your theme—otherwise, you are bound to the current KB limitations until HubSpot ships the new SEO fields.
