Any thought on adding SEO information for each manufacturer (brand) and having a brand.aspx page similar to categories and product pages. I like how the current manufacturer pages are generated as a search result, but these "brand" pages are not indexing as well in the major search engines as our category and product pages since the Title and Metadata is a default value vs. Brand specific information that could be provided on the manufacturer setup page.

In addition, I would like to see the search term appended to the search.aspx Title Tag (i.e.: default title + term). This would help when using canned results with paid search as well as natural search.

Thanks...

It is possible, but not likely, it clouds the lines between a manufacturer (product attribute) and a category (product organization). The other reason is that we've been working on a new concept for generic product attributes (i.e. manufacturer, artist, brand, make, model, year, etc.) that will (when developed) tie into search filtering being released in 7.3.

If you are looking for better SEO at the moment then perhaps a category with the manufacturer info and all of the products, or even a keyword-rich custom page with links to the search page would be your best bet.

Thanks Andy,

I thought custom page after I made the post... Good to hear about attributes for search results filtering. Thanks again for the feedback.
