Why are Meta Tags so important for SEO?
Meta tag indication is an easy way to provide search engines with information about pages. Visitors can't see such info, but our purpose is to show it to search engines thus making indexing faster. Due to Meta Tags search engines can understand website pages much better. Meta Title and Meta description are the most important of them. Canonical short urls also have a significant value for SEO. Meta information must be indicated on all pages of your website.
To implement complex SEO solutions in your store use feature-rich SEO Toolkit module comprised of 7 different search Magento speed optimization extensions.

- Image alt and title.
User-friendly page layout

How to create all the necessary meta tags?
You can change any Magento 1 SEO tag manually but when you have a great amount of products in your store, it takes a long time. With Meta Tags Templates you generate meta tags automatically. The module enables you to generate different templates for individual categories or products included into a specific category. This feature is a real “must have” for those who sell different types of products in one store as it helps to create a separate template for products in each category.
IMPORTANT
In case you need to specify meta data and descriptions for particular products, you can do it manually. The info you've specified won't be affected by the templates.
Quickly optimize your store
With this Magento 1 SEO module you can easily create category descriptions, full and short product descriptions with necessary Magento 1 keywords. This can be extremely helpful when you need to launch your website fast and don't have enough time to write all descriptions.
Create templates for:
- Product pages
- Category pages
- Any page by URL
Meta tags for any page by URL
Specify URL for any site page and create meta tags for it. E.g., you can create meta tags for contacts, registration page, etc. or for a product if you don’t want its page to be affected by the category settings.
Create dynamic templates with meta tag optimization tool for:
- Meta title
- Meta description
- Keywords
- H1 tag
- Canonical Url
- Robots (nofollow, noindex)
Meta tags optimization for products
In standard Magento you can specify title, Magento meta keywords and description only for a specific product page. With the module you can add a template for all store products at once or for products of a specific category. For example, you can create a template, which will apply only to products from category Shirts and only for English store view.
Create dynamic templates for:
- Title;
- Meta description;
- Keywords;
- H1 tag;
- Short description;
- Full description.
WYSIWYG editor for descriptions
Now you can easily create and edit short and full descriptions for product pages with the help of WYSIWYG editor tool.
Short products descriptions on the category page
Since now all the products short descriptions created with the help of extension templates are shown on the category pages.
Meta tags for categories
The module lets you create individual templates for categories and subcategories. You can choose whether to have a separate template for a subcategory or use the template of the parent category for it.
Create dynamic templates for:
- Meta title
- Meta description
- Keywords
- H1 tag
- Description
- Image alt and image title
- Text after product list
Ability to inherit templates
If any field of a subcategory template is not filled in, then meta data of a parent category is automatically used for it.
In case this field is not filled in for the parent category the extension automatically uses meta info of a senior parent category template.
Apply Templates for product URLs
With the Meta Tags Templates tool you can also apply newly created product URL templates to all the products previously added to your store. Therefore, there is no more need to manually rewrite them wasting your time. Just click on the "Apply Templates for Product URLs" and that's it.
- Use variables like {name}, {sku} etc.
- Apply templates for previously created products
- Edit product Url templates much faster
Create pages based on attributes and categories.
Admin user can specify templates for descriptions and meta tags manually. It is possible to create separate templates for each store view, so you can translate the templates into the languages you use on your website.
- Attributes: {color}, {brand}, {price}, etc
- Store info: {store_view}, {store}, {website}
- Categories info: {category}, {categories}, {final_price}, {final_price_incl_tax}
- for grouped products:{startingfrom_price} and {startingto_price}
- for category pages with pager: {current_page}
Complex variables
Complex variables like {brand|manufacturer|provider}This works great, if for some products you use manufacturer attribute and for others brand or provider attributes. So, for products with brand attribute, brand value will be used for meta tags; for products with manufacturer attribute, manufacturer value will be used etc.
Error Prevention
If at some point attribute values of a product are changed (e.g. color becomes black instead if green; brand becomes Nike instead of Adidas, etc), the extension will automatically use the new data for meta tags, this way meta information will always be correct.
Character limit for meta title and meta description
Google does not 'like' very long meta tags, so it is very important to make sure they are right. It is recommended not to exceed 65 characters for meta title and 160 characters for Magento meta description.
IMPORTANT:
For variables please use the attribute codes located here: Catalog - Attributes - Manage Attributes.
-
Yes, our meta information templates will work for all products you have in your Magento, both added before and new ones.
-
Yes, sure, if you want to leave meta data unchanged, you need to set the 'Replace Filled Metadata' on the Product Page to 'No'. Continue reading to make the settings correctly.

For getting higher ranking in search engines our Meta Tags Templates extension supports many variables. Read on to see a complete list of supported and additional variables.
-
It’s ok, since there is an “optional variables” feature. If only some of your items have a {color} variable, you can use square brackets [] for such optional variables. They will be processed only if products use attributes contained within a specified variable.
-
It’s important to keep your meta data up-to-date, and our extension will help you with that. If some product attribute included within a variable is changed, meta data is re-generated automatically to display the correct information.
-

Amasty provided also an excellent support for us.
I'm particularly impressed with the developer's support. I had two relatively complex and technical queries, both of which were responded to quickly, and in both cases with a solution which completely fixed my issues.
I can recommend this module and developer 100%.

We use prices ex VAT in our database and our templates displayed these prices where it should display end user prices including VAT. Within one day after reporting this,Amasty solved this by adding a few new template variables.
Thank you Amasty for your cooperation. Support is not a promise, it's a fact!
Except that, despite our best consideration for these developers, we are very disappointed by "Meta Tags Templates": automatic generation of meta tags, short and full product for items only work on product page. That means the values generated by templates can NOT be used to generate feeds for Google shopping or other search engines or other purposes. Also, wanting to use the short_description in the detailed view of category page, it will only show the values of system attributes, ignoring any value of custom attributes... I hope Amasty decide to make an update soon (we have also proposed to fund it) because with these limitations the use of templates is very little useful!
Quick question,
is there a file I can edit that will limit the meta description and title to only allow so many characters? If so, where and what should I put in it? Also, can you provide that feature in an update? Looking forward to hearing back from you. :)
