So Meta is a gem to simply manage meta content (title, description, canonical url, etc.) from within a Rails application
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'so_meta'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install so_meta
So Meta uses the localization file to provide easy to modify SEO text content for page titles, descriptions and other text content for layouts and views.
