I have a client request to animate the title of a web document. Kind of like you can see here.
I can make it happen that’s no problem, but my questions are:
-
Will animating the title cause any issues with the SEO of the page?
-
Should I have the final title already in place before I clear and animate the replacement?(my thought is that engines would read and indexed that first before the animation changes it)
-
Any other issues i should be worried about regarding SEO?
The initial title (as defined in the HTML) will be what is captured by search engines. So, as long as that’s the title you want search engines to see, it won’t be a problem. Search engines do not execute the JavaScript on your page (including that which is responsible for animating your title), so they will not capture the animated titles.
