Improving Title Tags for SEO in OpenCart
Posted by Paul on August 5, 2013
OpenCart is very well optimized for search engines by default, but there are certain things that can be done to improve the on-site SEO still further.
One such improvement is having full control of your title tags. Out of the box, OpenCart will set these just to be the product name but seeing as it's this text that appears on the Search Engine Results Page, it can make sense to also include the price of the product to help encourage a click through.
The extension to use for this is "Custom page title tags for SEO 1.5.x" which can be found here:

This could improve the search results page from this:
Product Name
www.example.com/category-name/product-name
Description about how this product is great.
To this:
Product Name at £19.99 from Company Name
www.example.com/category-name/product-name
Description about how this product is great.
