Duplicate Title Tags: How to Fix It
Two or more pages on your site use exactly the same title tag.
Quick fix: Give every page its own unique title. Duplicate titles make pages compete with each other and confuse Google about which one to rank.
Why it matters for SEO
Duplicate titles make pages compete for the same searches (keyword cannibalization) and make it hard for Google to pick the right page.

- 3Fix templates that output one title for many pages, such as paginated or filtered lists.
