Manage Meta Tags add-on for ProductCart 3.51 & 4

Brief Summary

This add-on for ProductCart 3.51 & 4 adds new functionality to allow you greater control over how your meta tags are dynamically generated on product and category pages. Improve your search engine rankings and increase sales by having more control over your page optimization.

By default, ProductCart does not give you any real control over the dynamic generation of your Title, Description and Keywords meta tags for your product and category pages. It will generate these tags for you “on the fly” if you haven't explicitly populated them for each product and category/subcategory through the control panel; however, you have no other control over them in the control panel.

This add-on gives you control over how these meta tags are generated when you haven't explicitly overridden them. It also provides a convenient interface for setting the default Title, Description, and Keywords meta tags on all other non-product/category ProductCart pages (which are otherwise hard coded in).

For product pages, this add-on enables you to:

Show the product part number (SKU) in Keyword and Description meta tags
Show the Brand Name in Keyword and Description meta tags
Show the Category Name in all meta tags

For both product and category/subcategory pages, this add-on enables you to:

Include the Store/Company Name in Title and Keyword meta tags
Include the Default Keywords in Keyword meta tags

For subcategory pages, this add-on enables you to:

Show the Parent Category in all meta tags

If you have a very large catalog of products and simply don't have time to manually manage the meta tags for every product and category/subcategory on your online store, this is a “must have” SEO add-on for your store!

This add-on will work with sites with or without the ProductCart SEO mod installed. It is compatible with both BTO version and sites running the Apparel add-on.

System Requirements

Available for ProductCart v3.51 and 4. This mod may not work on earlier versions of ProductCart.

This installation is a minor modification to the original source code. It should take ~ 5 minutes to install.

This modification will be overwritten by any version updates from Early Impact. However, we have made it very simple to re-customize in such an event. Web Merchant Services makes every effort to isolate the core code of its add-ons and mods from being overwritten by Early Impact upgrades. We try to keep the time to reinstall to ~ 10 minutes, making it really simple to do again if necessary.
