With your hub you always want to stand out in Google, so more people will visit your hub.
Key factors here are your titles and summaries that you use. I found a great tool that you can use to see how your Google result will look like and how you can format your title and summary in such a way that it won't be 'cut off' by the Google search results.
In combination with the title tuner and your hub keyword stats, you can produce really great, relevant titles and summaries for your hubs that are easy to read for people and might drive more traffic.
Here is the tool to create better titles and summaries:

Thank you. I am basically uninformed when it comes to stuff like this. I have bookmarked it and will give it a try! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks - I tried it out. Enjoyed the fun of it. It is good to remember how many characters to use to make titles work right in the SERPs.
I hadn't even thought about the length of my Titles. I had a couple that were a little to long and re-adjusted them to be less than 70 characters to sit nicely with the SERPs for reading optimization.
I like the tool to get a look at what everything will look like Thanks for sharing

Boy, now I'm really confused. Our hub summaries (just under the title) are supposed to be what shows up as a description in Google searches, right? So I just launched a new hub. It's reading a 94 hubscore right now and is not an Editor's Choice (yet). Here is what my summary says:"When it...

Following my investigation into good SEO practice, I decided to write the title of my hubs as the first words in the hub summaries. So the summary would start with the title, followed by a hyphen (dash) and a brief description. I do this on almost all of my hubs, but I don't like doing it because...

A year or two ago, I posted a thread where I offered to give feedback on hubs and how to improve them. I then went on to write a post based on the most common mistakes I saw people making (you can read it on the slider on my profile.)This time, I'm going to offer title suggestions. Post ONE title...

I'm relatively new to this site.I know most sites of its type do their best to be "Google friendly" which translates into "family friendly" (a phrase I hate, by the way). Over the years when tempted to use profanity either in a title or in the body of an article (and I can...

Anyone noticed Hubs changes & limited summary characters permitted?Looks like Hub pages has made some more changes and now have reduced the amount of letters you can use in the summary of your hubs. is this good or bad?
