  Anthony Mathers: I have a few different series on my website (Comic Book Bios, Creator Profile, etc.). I title my posts, for example: "Creator Profile: Jack Kirby" or "Comic Book Bios: Batman." I know this puts the description first, but is this wrong? Moreover, for SEO purposes, how should my SEO titles be structured? In the case of Jack Kirby, that would be the Focus Words. Should I use: ;
  Jack Kirby Creator Profile ⋅ Site Name
  Jack Kirby ⋅ Site Name
  Creator Profile: Jack Kirby  ;⋅ Site Name
  ? Any and all advice appreciated.

  SEMXE: +Anthony Mathers ;if you can get the idea about the content of a page by reading its title, then the title is good to me.
  I would prefer 'Jack Kirby - Creator Profile | Site Name' in your case.

  Kumar Neeraj Kayastha: +SEMXE​​​ what if +Anthony Mathers​​​ titles as Jack Kirby brilliantly created **Site Name? I will prefer such title if sitename is not so long that the title truncated in SERP. +Alistair Lattimore​​​ +Jim Munro​​​ +Edwin Jonk​​​ your take on this, please!

  Alistair Lattimore: If you wanted to be clever and were using WordPress, you could use the Headlines plugin by +APPSUMO to test a few variations and work it out for sure. If that isn't an option, let one title run for a couple weeks, change it and observe the difference in click through rate from the SERPs.

  Anthony Mathers: +SEMXE ;Thank you for the suggestion, I'll probably go with something like that. Do you think the article title should follow the SEO title? The article title currently is Creator Profile: Jack Kirby, putting the series/article type first. Should that be the other way around?
  
  +Kumar Neeraj Kayastha ;What do you mean by brilliantly created? My site title isn't that long, I can fit it in the title.
  
  +Alistair Lattimore ;I am using Wordpress. That plugin looks expensive, $99. Is it a worthwhile investment? ;

  Alistair Lattimore: +Anthony Mathers ;do some reading about what other sites are achieving by using the plugin, it is pretty impressive.
• 
  Kumar Neeraj Kayastha: +Anthony Mathers​​ I am just suggesting that title looks good when in form of a sentence. May use is created by or anything proper.

  SEMXE: +Anthony Mathers ;You can have different article title than what you use in page title. No issues with that.
