I need to add SEO title, SEO description, SEO keywords to a post. How can I go about it?
I need help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Are you using an SEO plugin like all in one SEO or Yoast? Any of the two will give you windows where to add the description and other SEO information for each post
And your SEO title is the title of your post.

Thank you.
If you have followed the training and configured your All in One SEO plugin as per the steps provided, then you do not need to add these elements yourself manually, as they will be done for you automatically.
The SEO Title will be “Post Title | Site Name”
The SEO Description will be the first 160 Characters of your Excerpt (if you have filled it in), or the first 160 Characters of your Content.
The SEO Keywords (no longer used by Google btw) are populated from your Categories and your Tags.
You can of course override these manually, but you do not need to. The section with these fields are at the bottom of each page/post while in editing mode within WordPress
Hi!
Thanks for this information Chrystopher. I wasn’t aware that Google no longer uses the SEO keywords as you describe. For I while I thought I'd get better rankings if I'd put in the keywords manually (since you can add more kyewords comma separated). I have stopped doing that now anyway.
Another thing. I have removed the “ | Site Name”-part in the settings in SEO-plugin. I frequently got a message that my title was to long.

You're welcome Nina :-) and no, you don't want to remove “ | Site Name” from our SEO Plugin, even if it pushes you over the 60 Character limit. Just ensure that the "Post/Page Title" portion is within 60 Characters and you will be ok. Google will not penalise you for being over 60 Characters, but by removing the Site Title, you are removing your Branding. The site title will still appear in a visitors browser, their bookmarks and if they print your page out etc.
I see. Thank you very much.
I appreciate the clarification. I noticed that one of my posts has no description under the SEO section.
Best,
