Generating Dynamic Meta Titles for SEO - Advice?

[daniel-brooks]

Hi,

I'm working with a new client that works with a lot of suppliers and they want to have their titles built in a specific way.

If I generate a template (so to speak) will generating dynamic meta titles have a negative effect on their SEO and is this even possible? If so, what would be the best way to handle this? There is approximately 100 suppliers.

Any feedback/advice is appreciated!

Hi Daniel,

I don't know how best these should be generated (will be a coding thing that needs writing perhaps) but I can tell you that doing this isn't an issue, as long as you get it right.

If you think about some of the huge sites out there on the web, they don't hand-write each page description.

Have a look at sites like Amazon and Ebay or any other online retailer - they will all be automated.

As Andy said, yes it's possible and many people are doing it (dynamic/static doesn't matter). I would use the generic Product | Supplier title template and keep it within the acceptable length. These title can get long very fast, so have a good logic and look at some of the competitors and see how their titles are structured. Good luck!

Thanks Andy - that was my first instinct. I've had a look around at some large sites such as Amazon etc for a little inspiration.

As it wasn't something I've implemented before I wasn't sure if it would be bad practice.
