Smarty does not stop you from performing SEO There are several methods one could use and I would think its all preference.

One method could be to use a language file and define each pages keywords, description, and title in that and include it in your php page

define("PAGE1_TITLE", "Your page title");
define("PAGE1_KEYWORDS", "keyword1,keyword2,keyword3");
define("PAGE1_DESCRIPTION", "Description of my site");

Then in your tpl call it like so

{$smarty.const.PAGE1_TITLE}
{$smarty.const.PAGE1_KEYWORDS}
{$smarty.const.PAGE1_DESCRIPTION}

Another option is to assign your information in the php file like so

$title = "Your page title";
$keywords = "keyword1,keyword2,keyword3";
$description = "Description of my site";
 $smarty->assign('title',$title);
 $smarty->assign('keywords',$keywords);
 $smarty->assign('description',$description);

then in your .tpl file

<title>{$title</title>
<meta name="description" content="{$description}" />
<meta name="keywords" content="{$keywords}" />

This is just a couple different ways I have used your milage may very

surely smarty is beneficial to your SEO because it gives such great control over everything.

I simply have a table in the database which contains all the relevant page info.

Page_ID File_Name Title Header_1 Header_2 etc.

I then match the filename of the requested page, and pull in all of the relevant info into an array

$smarty->assign('PageInfo',$PageArray);

Then within smarty i just reference it where needed

<title>{$PageArray.Title}</title>
