If you want your website to stand strong among all of the competition out there, SEO should be a #1 priority for you. It’s such an involved job that many companies hire a SEO specialist just to take care of it for them, so that they can focus on other things within their business.
However, if you’re running a Joomla website, there are many extensions that can help you out instead and assist you with the most important SEO tasks. Let’s take a look at the top 5 currently available.
SEO PaginationThis extension allows you to create a unique title for each of your pages. This is very important in SEO since Google is not a fan of duplicated page content, which includes the Meta tags. Each page should have a different title and SEO Pagination allows you to do that you on category and archive pages as well as the home page.

GD SEO VerifyIf you use webmaster tools for Google, Yahoo, Bing, or Alexa, then you know that each one requires some type of verification key or tag on your website.
