How this factor shows up in the CSV
True when the homepage <title> exists and is between 15 and 70 characters; false when missing or truncated.
Every row ships with seo_score (0-100) and a seo_issues column that lists each problem we detected for that store — including this one — alongside emails, phones, theme, apps, and country.

Everything you need to know
Stop guessing. Here is how StoreRadar helps you win deals before the competition arrives.
What's the ideal homepage title length?
Between 15-70 characters. Google typically displays the first 50-60 characters in search results, but titles up to 70 are acceptable. Titles shorter than 15 are usually too vague to be effective.
Does the homepage title affect rankings?
Yes, the title tag is one of the most important on-page SEO factors. It tells search engines what your page is about and appears as the clickable headline in search results, directly impacting click-through rates.
Should I include my brand name in the title?
Generally yes, especially for established brands. A common pattern is: 'Primary Keywords | Brand Name' or 'Primary Keywords - Short Descriptor | Brand Name'.
