Ezoic
SEO Tag Tester is a free feature within the Ezoic dashboard that allows you to try and optimize different page titles for URLs on your website with artificial intelligence.
Title testing used to be limited to A/B testing, but that method took a lot of calculating and included guesswork on when Google crawled or re-indexed title tags.
Built to bring ease to SEO efforts, Tag Tester makes it easy to test which titles get indexed in search engines and promotes more traffic to your content.
Search engines rank titles with relevant content higher than titles with mismatched content, making title tags a crucial part of how sites appeared in search results.
Using the right title improves click-through rates, decreases bounce rates and increases traffic.
Ezoic’s machines perform consecutive variation testing on the title variations you provide for your content and determine which improves SEO performance the most.
Testing takes between one and two weeks and analyzes performance across metrics like:
Using a sophisticated scoring system, Ezoic automatically determines which variation performed best in search engines and displays the winning title.
The following must be completed before you can use Tag Tester:
Under Ezoic Settings → Make sure your site is integrated
Under Ezoic SEO → Authorize or re-authorize Google Search Console
Step 1: Enable Tag Tester
Step 2: Create a test group
Groups allow you to organize your testing. We recommend giving the group a meaningful name.
You can add pages two ways—searching for them or selecting from the list of 'Popular Pages'.
When searching for pages to run tests on, you can enter a full or partial URL. For example, all of the following are valid URL patterns:
Searching may take a couple of minutes to complete. Once done, all pages found that match the URL pattern you provided will be displayed.
Select and “add” the pages you would like to create tests for.
If you don't see the URL you're looking for in the list, you can go back and make the URL Pattern more specific.
If you add a test that is already in a different group, you will be asked to confirm moving it to your current group.
Input different titles that you want to test for the URL.
Save & Start the Test (this option is only available if you have less than 3 tests running or have an active Premium subscription). Alternatively, you can save the test and start it later.
Repeat the same process for any additional tests you would like to run.
If you just saved your test in the previous step and didn't start your test, you can start the test from the Current Step or Actions.
You can view the progress of your test by viewing the results from the Current Step or Actions.
You can view the results from your test anytime after starting it. However, these results will not be complete until the test has finished.
Once the test has finished, Tag Tester will automatically change the title to the winning variation with the best “Total Score”. You can change it by clicking the edit button beside the "Title to be displayed on URL".
