Research direction
Find the 40 pages with titles under 30 characters and inspect their existing seo_title values. Start by searching the guide content for titles such as “Reports - Wagtail Guide” and “Pages - Wagtail Guide”; add context such as “in Wagtail” while keeping each title under 60 characters. Done when the generic titles are distinguishable in search results.

Description
Problem statement
40 titles are under 30 characters, such as "Reports - Wagtail Guide" and "Pages - Wagtail Guide". These are hard to tell apart in search results for someone who isn't already on the site.
Proposed solution
Use seo_title to add context on these pages, for example by including "in Wagtail".
Additional context
No title is over 60 characters, so there's room to add context.
Found in an AI-assisted SEO audit of the live site (Claude Code, 2026-10-30), reviewed by @thibaudcolas.
