    Hi All,

    I am thinking of getting a template website but I have heard mixed messages about how well you can SEO such a website?

    Can anyone shed some light on this?

    Thanks

    Yes, a templated website is just a standard website but you've bought the templates/design.

    Depending on the template you may need to modify it - headings, meta tags etc. for SEO but I don't see any reason this wouldn't be the same for any other website.

    Again - depends on the CMS! There should be some FAQs around this on the provider's website, if not ask them. Basic SEO things to look for would be:

    - correctly marked up headings/content
    - Custom meta tags
    - Custom title tags
    - SEO/human friendly urls
