Meta tags question same content searching but different cities

I have approximately 20 pages in my site that all have the same content - for different cities

Each city has two separate html pages. One for data and charts, the other for searching for real estate.

I understand that it’s bad practice to cut, copy and paste tags but my site offers similar information for each city.

current configuration:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en"/>
<meta name="description" content="Corona del Mar 92625, find oceanfront, bayfront homes, pricing analysis, median sales price, local real estate broker, agent, local real estate office, company, local real estate knowledge " />
<meta name-equiv content="Rick Schreiber Properties With Style, Inc. Orange County Real Estate ">
<meta name="author" content="Rick Schreiber Properties With Style, inc." />
<meta name="copyright" content= 2012-01-01 Properties With Style, Inc. "&copy; ">
<link
    type="text/css"
    rel="stylesheet"
    href="css/screen.css"
    media="screen,projection,tv"/>

<title>
Corona del Mar Ocean And Bayfront Homes - Properties With Style, Inc.
</title>
	<script
		type="text/javascript"
		src="css/scripts/slideshow.js"
	></script>
</head><body>
pageWrapper . . . etc. 

I think my brain would explode if I have to come up with 20 different ways to explain the same thing for each city!

Any clues here . . ?

The description is all wrong…the other meta tags author copyright you can remove all that its just guff. The description should be a summary about the page not a place for you to stuff keywords.

I felt most of it was junk.

So much miss information on the internet.

Probably the most important one there is the <meta name=“description” …> element, and as said, that should have a clear, concise description of the page (and a different one for each page). That line often appears under the title in search results, and helps search engines categorize your page.

So much miss information on the internet.

It kind of depends where you look.

I think each city could have something specific about it. If you are serious about SEO then you have to roll up your sleeves and get the job done.
