Duplicate title tags can have a negative impact on your website's SEO as search engines may not be able to identify the uniqueness of your pages. However, Webflow provides several solutions to fix this issue.

Here's how you can fix duplicate title tags in Webflow:

  1. Identify the duplicate title tags: First, you need to identify which pages have duplicate title tags. You can do this by using an SEO tool or by manually reviewing each page's title tag in the Webflow Designer.

  2. Edit the page settings: Once you have identified the pages with duplicate title tags, you can edit the page settings to change the title tag. In the Webflow Designer, select the page you want to edit and navigate to the "Settings" tab on the right-hand side. Here, you can modify the "SEO Title" field to make it unique.

  3. Use dynamic CMS fields: If you're using Webflow's CMS, you can use dynamic CMS fields to generate unique title tags for each page. For example, if you have a blog template and want to include the blog post title in the title tag, you can add the dynamic value by clicking on the "+" button next to the "SEO Title" field and selecting the appropriate CMS field.

  4. Check collection templates: If you have multiple pages that share the same template, such as blog posts, make sure to check the template's title tag settings. Ensure that the template is set up to dynamically generate the title tag based on the content of each individual page.

  5. Utilize custom code: If you have a complex website structure or specific requirements, you can utilize custom code to dynamically generate unique title tags. Webflow allows you to add custom code in the "Head Code" section in the site settings. You can use JavaScript or Webflow's CMS API to achieve this.

  6. Re-publish the site: After making the necessary changes to fix duplicate title tags, it's essential to re-publish your website to ensure the changes take effect. Once the site is re-published, search engines will start recognizing the updated title tags.

By following these steps, you can effectively fix the issue of duplicate title tags in Webflow and improve your website's SEO.
