Title
"wikiHow: How-to instructions you can trust."
43 characters Optimal ✓
Title: wikiHow: How-to instructions you can trust.
H1: Welcome to wikiHow, the most trusted how-to site on the internet.
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.
