For the titration of hcl versus NaOh, suggest a better indicator than methyl orange. Why is methyl orange not the ideal choice for this application?

The pH at the equivalence point of HCl vs NaOH titration is 7.0. MO is not a good indicator for this titration because it changes about 3.5. A better choice is phenolphthalein which changes about 9 or even methyl red which changes about 5.0.Bromothymol blue or phenol red are appropriate also.
