Hi There,
You can edit SEO information for your Sitecore based website using this guide https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_accelerator/working_with_content/search/improve_page_seo .
If you have rightly optimized content structure on the pages, it will be best to leave it as it is. The Google search engine will dynamically generate Title and description in SERPs based on the content of your page, in my experience that will be more useful for users and generate more clicks.
I hope it helps.
Regards,
Vijay

Thanks Sean. I would like to know how Google inputs meta title, description and keywords for a page that does not physically exist. How will a dynamic page appear in Google organic search results?
-
Our technology is .net (cms: sitecore). Will this be something that the developer will code for us? Just curious to know how Google will display meta titles and description for a page that does not physically exist.

When you say meta tags is there something in particular you're wanting to do? Meta Tags accomplish a number of different tasks. Some as simple as a text description in Google search, others will make Twitter Cards and large thumbnails for Facebook's open graph. Some can tell pages not to index certain
urls with robot crawlers.
How specifically you add them in your content is quite simple. Almost always meta tags will be placed in the header like say the meta description for a post on how you add meta data to dynamic pages:
name="description" content="This page is about how to properly use meta tags on dynamic pages or any page" />
-
It totally depends on the technology being used for your website. If you are using WordPress then Yoast plugin is good enough to get you the Meta tags optimized for all pages. If you are using any other technology, then there will be different steps altogether.
I hope this helps, let me know if you have further queries.
Regards,
Vijay

On-page SEO
This is a question for the organic SEO experts, once you added the main keyword that you want to rank for in the homepage title, meta title plus meta description, perhaps once or twice in the text on the homepage. How often do you then write it in the content marketing, say blog posts, we want to rank higher on Google for "SEO agencies Cardiff" however if you mention this in the blog posts too much say once a week, this could lead to over optimisation issues?

Home page or landing page?
Hello, I want to ask a question related to that - Should we put keywords in the home page title if we wish to position another landing page better for particular keywords? I have read in one website about SEO that it's good the main keywords of your website to be positioned in homepage title also. f.e. Let's say we have website about web-design and our company is named Company Ltd. The title of the home page is "Company Ltd. - Web design, SEO, etc" We have also another inner page named "Web design | Company Ltd.". So should we leave the first page name only "Company Ltd." and the landing page's name "Web design | Company Ltd." . I don't know if they both have the same keyword in their title they won't compete with each other.

How to handle Meta Tags on Pagination... page 2,3,4....
Seems that SEOMoz reports are considering my paginated pages as duplicate Meta Tags. For example, I have a product catalog with 5 paginated pages. Obviously the content on each page is unique and the URL ends in =4, =5 for the page number, but the Title and Description are the same for all the pages. Any suggestions on how to handle this? The pages other than page 1 are not indexed, so it should not be a big deal. But wondering if I should programatically ad the page number to the additional pages to show a difference?

E-Commerce product pages that have multiple skus with unique pages.
Hey Guys, With the recent farm/panda update from google i'm at a cross roads as to how I should optimize product pages for a project i'm working on for a client. My client sells tires and one particular tire brand can have up to 15 models and each model can have up to 30 sizes. IE: 'Michelin Pilot Sport Cup' comes in 15 different sizes. Each size will have it's unique product page and description bringing me to my question. Should I use the same description on every size? I do plan on writting unique content for each tire model however i'm not sure if I should do it for every size. After all the tire model description is the same for every size, each size doesn't carry any unique characteristics that I can describe. Thanks in advance!

Page speed tools
Working on reducing page load time, since that is one of the ranking factors that Google uses. I've been using Page Speed FireFox plugin (requires FireBug), which is free. Pretty happy with it but wondering if others have pointers to good tools for this task. Thanks...
