I know from email marketing if you include an emoji at the start of your subject line you'll get more clicks (in general).

I'm wondering now if using emojis in the titles of your blog posts/articles is a good idea.

Perhaps you'll even see an increase in CTR, just like with email marketing.

From doing a bit of googling, I found:

"Google can understand emojis in the content or metadata (e.g. in title tags or meta descriptions) and display them in the Search as a part of the organic snippet.

Although emojis do not play any important role in SEO, they can (sometimes) improve the visibility of the page or improve its relevancy for certain search queries."

I mean even if you get first position, I'd still wanna have the highest possible CTR.

Thoughts?
