Recently, one of our website's directory page called "Places to Promote Your Startup", was ranking in the second page of Google.
This page was already a good traffic source for our website,
So I began researching what I needed to do to bring it to Page 1 of Google 📈
When I started digging,
I noticed that all competitor websites that were ranking on top of our page had a number in their meta title, which our page didn’t have at that time.
So I added a number to the meta title of our page hoping it would improve our rankings.
I change the meta title of our page from,
"Places to Promote Your Startup"
To
"75+ Places To Promote Your Startup For Free (2023)"
The next day when I woke up,
I was super surprised.
Our page was now ranking in the first Page of Google 😍
I didn't know adding a number to your meta title can have such a big impact on SEO. That too within such quick time.
So if you have a listicle or a resource directory on your website,
Do try adding a number to your meta title.
It is a low-hanging SEO hack that can give instant results 🍌

Yeah algorithms and also human psychology. Humans click more on posts with numbers and then algorithms recommend posts that get more clicks.It's a cycle.
Is this something to do with there being numbers in general or it was just because of your specific niche? This is interesting.
Numbers in titles are statistically found to have better CTR across niches. If there is a chance to have a number in your title/post, always try to have one Nuno.
congrats!
Some SEO strategy highly effective for google ranking and I also apply most effective in my website post worldbox mod apk.
Yeah it does improve the rating, it's always better to add number to your title "list of 20 best websites" than "list of best websites".
It's fantastic to see how a simple tweak to your meta title made such a significant impact on your rankings. Your resourceful approach and quick results are truly inspiring.

Nice! What were your steps?
That's an interesting lifehack.
I've recently launched a seo-heavy website related to cocktails(https://cocktailwave.com) and in a lot of lists there are number(10/15/17/20 cocktails you should try) and I'm constantly puzzling why and how they choose these numbers.
And what works for you? 75? Maybe if you make it 79 it'd be even better? These magic numbers are something very weird for me
If you want to generate meta descriptions automatically, take a look at Loyae.com
