Question about seo page titles

Now I’m not sure if I’m missing something here, but is it possible to create a different page title for each page based on a single template? I can’t see how I assign a unique title to a page, it just looks like it defaults to whatever is entered into the template? I cover a range of photography and I’ve created a page for each area, eg events, corporate, products, food etc etc so if someone searches for one of the areas I cover I want the appropriate title to appear in the search results and I think google does that via the text that’s in the page title.

I’m in the process of upgrading from CE4 (I’ve got a couple of weeks to do it while things are quiet) and when I created separate pages for my CE4 site in lightroom I could put a different title on each page and quickly saw improvements in google search and ranking once I got a site map submitted, so I just need to work out how to do this in Backlight2. Can anyone help please?

Re: Question about seo page titles

og:title is included in albums. And that includes pages with inserted albums.
So the workaround is to create an empty album with the page title you want. Hide it from the album set so it doesn't show up anywhere for your viewers. Then embed that empty album in a page.

Re: Question about seo page titles

Thanks Rod, so I already have an album assigned to each page - if I create an empty album do I need to do anything else to force the hidden album title to be recognised as the page title? I might be over thinking this of course ?

Re: Question about seo page titles

You can only insert one album into a stand alone page. So the existing album is already supplying the page's og:title

Re: Question about seo page titles

Oh ok, that’s hopefully straightforward enough then, thanks for the solution!
