I moved my blog to wordpress and I thought I was doing OK but now I realize I never added meta content. Am I correct that I have to add this manually for my keywords to apppear. I am using the theme Evolve.

I have also realized my title and description are together on this theme also.

Which template edits this.

  • Is this the place?

    This is a section from header.php

    <!--BEGIN head-->
    <head profile="<?php get_profile_uri(); ?>">

    <title><?php semantic_title(); ?></title>

    <!-- Meta Tags -->
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo( 'html_type' ); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
    <meta name="generator" content="WordPress" />

    <!-- Favicon: Browser -->
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo IMAGES . '/favicon.ico'; ?>" />

    <!-- Stylesheets -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo CSS . '/print.css'; ?>" type="text/css" media="print" />


    <!-- Custom Stylesheets -->

    • any help would be appreciated as I am stumped here.
  • Yes, that would be the place to edit/add meta tags.

    FYI: the search engines don't really pay much attention to keywords stuffed there...
    However, a description tag can be useful: it will be displayed in SERP below the title.

    Also, there are SEO-oriented plugins that could help you to insert different meta tags for each post/Page.

    And there are themes that are way better prepared for onpage seo than your theme... Just saying.

    • Is this what I should enter for the description.

      <meta content='Helping people achieve a healthier lifestyle with exercise, nutrition, motivation, supplements and more.' name='description'/>

      Also, the title and description are coming out together when analyzed is this why?

      <title><?php semantic_title(); ?></title>

      Thanks for ALL your help!
  • Use the All in One SEO Pack plugin..
