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.
Regards,
Vijay

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?
-
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.

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" />
-
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.
Regards,
Vijay

FAQ page structure
I have read in other discussions that having all questions on an FAQ page is the way to go and then if the question has an answer worthy of its own page, you should abbreviate the answer and link to the page with more content. My question is when using some templates in WP, they have a little + button you can click and it reveal the answer to the question. Does this hurt SEO versus having all text visible and then using headers/subheaders? An example of the + button https://fyrfyret.dk/faq/

How to overcome blog page 1, 2, 3, etc having no or duplicate meta info?
As the above what is the best way to overcome having the same meta info on your blog pages (not blog posts) So if you have 25 blog posts per page once you exceed this number you then move onto a second blog page, then when you get to 50 you then move onto a 3rd blog page etc etc So if you have thousands f blog pages what is the best method to deal with this rather than having to write 100s of different meta titkes & descriptions? Cheers
