How do you add meta data to dynamic pages?

[REIT]

We have 1000's of dynamic pages on the website and would like to know how to add meta data to these dynamically generated pages.

Thanks!

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.

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" />

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.

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?

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.
