Title

"Coursera | Courses, Professional Certificates, and Degrees Online"

65 characters Will truncate
Title: Coursera | Courses, Professional Certificates, and Degrees Online
H1: Learn without limits
Match: Very different
Robots: Indexable (no restrictions)

Alignment helps users confirm they've reached the right page.

Why this matters

Title and H1 disagree significantly — Google may treat one as the canonical topic and the other as off-topic, weakening ranking.

Learn more

Title is the SERP headline; H1 is the on-page headline. They should describe the same page. Large divergence (different topics, different keywords) signals confusion and Google may rewrite the title in SERP. Align both to the same primary topic.

Why this matters
