Automatic SEO and meta tags generator for OpenCart
To perform primary SEO optimization, you need to fill in meta tags, follow the correct placement of canonical, and close duplicate pages from indexing. The Auto SEO Tags extension will handle all these tasks in OpenCart CMS. If you have a large number of products/categories/manufacturers or your product catalog is frequently updated, such a module will come in handy, because it will allow you to automatically "on the fly" generate meta tags for absolutely all products/categories, including new ones that will be added later.
You can change the priority of the meta tags that the module generates relative to the meta tags that are written manually. The module can generate and display its own meta tags:
- Only when the meta tags in the product/category/manufacturer form are not filled in, i.e. when the meta tag fields are empty.
- Always, while ignoring the presence of manually filled meta tags
The main features of the Auto SEO Tags extension
- Heading H1 and seo text for the Home page.
- Multilingual meta tags for the Home page.

Is it possible to fill in meta tags manually for individual pages?
Yes. The module works according to the principle: if the meta tags are not filled in manually, then the text from the module is substituted. But if the purpose of the tags is - they will be displayed. Of course, you can change the priority so that the tags generated by the module overlap manually.
Is it possible to exclude individual products from indexing using the Auto SEO Tags module?
Auto SEO Tags allows you to close groups of pages from indexing, that is, you can close all products, but not individual products. The same can be done with categories, manufacturers, information pages and other standard OpenCart pages.
What are the settings in the 404 tab for?
In the 404 tab, you can block access to any standard pages that are not used on your site, such as the Bookmarks page or the Compare page. Because even if you have removed links from the site to such pages, they are still available, and anyone who knows the structure of OpenCart will be able to access them. Attackers can place backlinks on these pages and they will be indexed by search engines.
Having blocked the page with a 404 response, if the client somehow gets to it, he will see a message that such a page does not exist. This feature is also handy to close standard form pages that you don't use, such as the Return or Checkout form, if you have other ways to process your order.
Why add a Canonical tag?
The Canonical tag indicates a single priority page among a group of pages with duplicate content. This allows you to indicate to search engines that this particular page should be indexed and that it is the main one. The canonical tag must be used to get rid of duplicate pages.
