Custom Meta Tags Title, Description and Keywords.

Is there a way to add custom title, keywords and description for certain pages such as the login page, links directory, contact us page and so on.
Some of you might wonder why do that? Simple answer is I do not know, the firm that is optimizing my website sent me these meta tags and they expect me to implement them into Zen Cart but I have no idea how to do it since these are php files not like the categories or the product pages.

I am thinking about adding the <title>, <keyword> and <description> to the respective page header but I am not sure if that is the right way to do it or if there is a different way to attack that using the meta tags English file.

Re: Custom Meta Tags Title, Description and Keywords.

Using the part of the url when the page is loaded that describes the page - create in your template a folder with that name
contact_us
login
etc
Then in those folders place a copy of html_header.php that you can find in the template_default/common/ folder

Edit that file & scrap the "require" and place your "custom meta data" replacing the php for each page respectively

Re: Custom Meta Tags Title, Description and Keywords.

Thanks Cobra,
It did the trick but i am starting to suspect why would an SEO firm want to optimize the login page, or account_history page. Any thoughts on that?
