Meta data has to exist on every page of a store, and on a catalog of a few thousand products nobody writes it by hand. Templates solve that properly: you describe the pattern once, and the pages fill themselves — including the ones created next month.
What it fills in
- Page title, meta description, meta keywords and SEO name.
- For products, categories, features and content pages.
- For pages created by other Cart-Power add-ons: Power Reviews, Extended Tags, Power Blog structure and articles, and vendor microstores.
How the templates work
- A set of pre-installed templates to start from, which can be edited or replaced.
- Placeholders and their modifiers, combined freely with plain text.
- Special placeholders for dynamic data: storefront and pagination.
- An unlimited number of templates, with cloning of existing ones.
- Template priorities and conditions, so different groups of pages get different patterns.
- Selective application: only the fields you choose are updated.
- Custom H1 and custom breadcrumb titles filled automatically — or by hand in the additional settings tab when a page needs its own.
- Product variations handled as well.
- A cron script that keeps the meta data current as the catalog changes.
What it changes in search
Pages with proper titles and descriptions look different in the results: the snippet answers the query instead of showing a fragment of the description, and the click-through rate follows. On a large catalog this is the single change with the widest reach — it touches every page at once.

FAQ
Will it overwrite the meta data I wrote by hand?
Only if you ask it to: templates are applied to the fields you choose, and conditions and priorities decide which pages they touch.
What happens to products added later?
A cron script applies the templates on a schedule, so new pages do not stay empty.
Can different categories use different patterns?
Yes — that is what template conditions and priorities are for.
