# Influencing your title links in search results

## **1️⃣ What Are Title Links?**

- They’re the **clickable blue titles** in Google Search results.
- Google pulls them automatically from your site — but you can **strongly influence** what appears.

## **2️⃣ Best Practices to Influence Title Links**

  - Use: Advanced SEO Training | FSIDM
- **Include brand smartly**
  - Add brand at end or start:

- **Match page content**
  - Google may rewrite your title if it doesn’t reflect the content.
