Please help me with optimizing a website

Hi,

I'm working on optimizing a website which used to have very long title tags i.e. 12 words long. Now I’ve reduced it to 7.

It used to be something like this:

Clients website name Ltd - Personal injury solicitors clinical negligence human rights lawyers

And now reads:

Personal injury lawyers - Clients website name solicitors

It looks better but do you think this will lose me a lot of traffic?

Sorry can't disclose actual site.

Title tags are just a minimal part of on page SEO. I dought this change would make any difference but read better.

longer key phrases are likely to give you an upper hand, provided those are favourite key phrases. Key words are too common these days.

You can distribute your key word in title and description tags. give priority keyword in title and give other with them in description.

i don't thinks that it's reduced your traffic.
you should target your key words in your page content. you can also used H1 and H2 tags in your content. and you should have to do quality Off Page Submission for your site.

I am not sure, but in my personal experience with such title change: I can say that, changing titles can have a big impact. It can be positive or negative. Traffic some some keywords may drop and for some, it may increase.

I think you should simply write titles that describes the site/page content the best.
