Everybody has a homepage if your homepage is called home your pages title will also be called home.  Usually within a wordpress theme page titles are often H1 or H2 this does carry weight in terms of SEO, so it’s important to make use of this productively.

Recently we’ve found a great wordpress plugin which will allow you to rename your page titles without editing the theme or manually adding it in the text editor.

We have recently installed this plugin on this website you can see it in use on our SEO page, the menu says SEO but once inside the page title is SEO Preston.

You can find plugin at the wordpress plugin directory or the authors website Page lists Plus
