Wordpress out of the box provides fundamental management of the main SEO meta information. To expand the functionality we add our own super-charged version of the All-In-One-SEO Pack. The SEO pack makes it simple to alter the page title and page meta description.

The All-In-One-SEO Pack is a great WordPress plugin that finishes off the SEO aspects for WordPress. For some unknown reason WordPress still has not got the SEO fixed out of the box.

The All-In-One-SEO Pack allows you you to change the most significant page components – page title and page description. It also permits you to change the page keywords, but as we all know, search engines no longer take note of these because they have been spammed too much in the past. Google stopped using the keywords for page ranking in the early 2000’s.

Page Titles

This is the No1 SEO component to manipulate. Constantly make sure that you control the page title. The page title appears in the browser window at the very top of the screen. Search engines use this in the listings and display it in their search results.

Always try to make the page title only carry the keywords you want the page to rank for. Try to restrict them to 2 or three maximum.

The page title is the MOST significant SEO page element because it is like the title of a book. And just like a book title, if it is good it will be more attractive to readers.

If your page needs to extend to cover 2 or 3 keywords we have learned that you can still get effective rankings from adding multiple keywords to the title. But do remember that the closer the page title is to the keyword you want to rank for the better.

Even though it’s best to keep the page title just to the keywords you want to rank for, if you are a branded company you will also most likely need to add in your company name so that it is displayed on Google in your search listing.

Page Descriptions Meta Tags

This element is NOT used by search engines for ranking purposes. Nevertheless, most search engines will employ this in their search results so it is important. We have discovered that Google will use the description most of the time. We have not yet learned how it determines if to use it or not. The rest of the time it will pick up the first piece of text on the page.

By having a good description it will increase your click through rates because the text will be more magnetic to people. Ensure that you use a maximum of 156 characters. If you use any more characters Google will truncate the rest. If you can keep your descriptions to 140 characters or less this is even better seeing Google sometimes adds a date to the start of the description which is part of the 156 characters it displays.
