Metadata within Metro Publisher

There are several places throughout the system where you have the opportunity to input SEO-optimized Meta Information.

These are all manually set. If these are left empty, they will be empty in the page code templates

1. Under Admin > Settings > General you must enter

• Site Name which is appended to every section/subsection and to search pages)

2. Section/Subsection Pages including Homepage, Location Search Pages, Event Search Pages, & Directory Search Pages

• URL (important for SEO and can be manually changed)
• Meta Title (this is appended with the site name, e.g.: Section Title - Site Name)
  
  Example: http://atlanta-living.com/atlanta-restaurant-reviews:
  <title>Reviews of Atlanta's Restaurants and Culinary Destinations - Atlanta Living</title>
  
  
• Meta Description (important because this appears in search results on search engines)
• Meta Keywords (of little importance these days; any keyword stuffing can lead to ranking penalties)

3. Content - This is automatically taken from the title and description unless you manually add specific meta info:

• Meta Title (may add specific meta info, else copied from title)
• Meta Description (may add specific meta info, else copied from description)
• Meta Keyword (Tags added to content - not important these days)

4. Tags - Have their own specific purpose:

• As mentioned above, on Content, Tags become the meta keywords.
• On Topics Pages the Tag title is the meta title and the Tag description is the meta description.
