      Hi guys another newbie question.

      I have this 20 categories and i want each of it to have a dynamic meta to save time rather than doing it manually.

      All the 20 categories are name of countries.

      Target keyword: rent a car (category)

      Lets say im browsing malaysia category.

      Meta Title: Find affordable rent a car in malaysia

      Meta Description: Find affordable rent a car in malaysia only here at website.com, call and book for a car now!

      Meta Keywords: rent a car in malaysia, malaysia rent a car, affordable rent a car malaysia, cheap cars in malaysia

      Now i move to another category lets say hongkong, the meta should change dynamically by changing just the name of the category

      Meta Title: Find affordable rent a car in hongkong

      Meta Description: Find affordable rent a car in hongkong only here at website.com, call and book for a car now!

      Meta Description: rent a car in hongkong, hongkong rent a car, affordable rent a car hongkong, cheap cars in hongkong

      and this goes to all other categories as well.

      Will it hurt my seo? i mean it could be a form of duplicate content or whatever. Also please correct me of doing my meta, if its correct especially in meta keywords i dont want keyword stuffing as a problem why im not ranking.

      Thanks a lot guys. Im still in the process of learning the basics 😄

        From my understanding, meta descriptions/keywords/etc are not part of Google's search algorithm, so you should be fine.

          hi thanks for your response, i'll wait for the others opinion... anyway i have a question for you if you dont mind... what if it was a content? like a description of a category with 200 words up and displayed on the page as an article describing the category? then on each categories description the only changes made was the name of the category.

          example using the same keyword

          "If you are visiting hongkong you would want to have your own car for your convenience. Find affordable rent a car in hongkong only here at website.com, all you have to do is browse check for the details blah blah. Only here in website.com you would find the most affordable rent a car and so on and so forth..... up to 200 words up"

          the underlined names will be change if the user browse to other categories.

          Thanks a lot

            Hello there,

            Automating title tags and meta descriptions as you've described above shouldn't cause you any problems.The meta keywords tag is redundant (Google don't use it) so I wouldn't bother populating it.

            You might like to review these resources for further guidance on title tags and meta descriptions before you go ahead and implement.

            Regarding your second question about content, I'd strongly recommend that you don't automate as described above. Having the same content (but just changing the location) is likely to be considered duplicate content by the search engines. I'd strongly recommend that you write unique copy for each page.

            I hope this helps,

            Hannah
