Just voltan say, SEO is very important.
In my experience I see the smartsection module on xoops have very good SEO and google find article very fast on this module.
Also wordpress have good SEO for images and joomla have good SEO for article URL
We can see the structure of old systems and see which theme have good performance.

[voltan]

I asked / search about SEO tools, I think each website need two part of options and tools, some system options and some options should added by webmaster after setup website.

System options

this option is two parts, theme/template options and kernel /module options ( categorize based by PI system )

theme/template options

Mobile Optimization

More info : http://www.smashingmagazine.com/guidelines-for-mobile-web-development/

Headings

Each theme need h1... h6 tag : one h1 tag, four h2 tags ...

Images

All images ( img tag ) should have alt, in theme and templates

Print-Friendly CSS

It goog if we have Print-Friendly CSS in theme

W3C Validity

Its very important, all themes and templates should check for validation

Just 4 CSS

In each page ( home page is important ) we must load just 4 css. Its not easy :D and less important.

back-links

kernel /module

robots.txt

It needed option, but we must customize it for each website. More info : http://blog.woorank.com/2013/04/robots-txt-a-beginners-guide/

XML Sitemap

This option is very important, I think we need module for manage it and perhaps , some kernel service for use on other module. I should update automatically and manually, and name file must be sitemap.xml in website root.

META Language Attribute

Set META Language Attribute in header : www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_meta.asp
have to load whit $this->assemble('headMeta', 4);

Microformats And Dublin Core

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microformat
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Core
is good if load whit $this->assemble('Microformat', 4); And $this->assemble('DublinCore', 4); and we need setting options for set all pther metas DublinCore Microformat

URL system

it important each website have clean url.Now PI use true standard for URL. Just we need function for set slug/alis and check it unique or not

Blog

Blog system is two important. we will have news / article / page and other content manager modules. But each website should have blog link http://pi-engine.org/blog . ites very important but we should find solution for use other modules or one category of other modules as blog whit direct link

Page title , meta description and Keywords

Now , we have all needed option for set title , meta description and Keywords , But we need more option for generate it :

• Set title between 10 and 70 characters
• Set meta description contain between 70 and 160 characters
• For Meta Keywords : http://www.kook.com.au/what-were-talking-about/meta-keywords-tag-in-2012/ and http://blog.woorank.com/2012/10/16-free-keyword-research-tools-seo/
• Clearing title and meta, For example this page have html code in meta : http://www.payamakyab.com/sms/message/13

we need standard we how to generate title , meta description and Keywords, for all modules. generate it when submit each item and save clean data in module->item->db and just load for view. or generate it when each page called. which one?

In my modules, I generate meta in submit process and save in DB. I use this example codes :

namespace Pi\Mvc\Controller\Plugin;

use Zend\Mvc\Controller\Plugin\AbstractPlugin;

class Meta extends AbstractPlugin
{ 
    public $_search = array(" ","\t","\r\n","\r","\n",",",".","'",";",":",")",
                            "(",'"','?','!','{','}','[',']','<','>','/','+','-','_',
                            '\\','*','=','@','#','$','%','^','&');
   public $_replace = array(' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',
                            ' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',
                            ' ',' ',' ',' ',' ','');

   /*
     * $this->meta()->keywords($keywords);
     * $this->meta()->keywords($keywords, $number, $limit);
     */
    public function keywords($keywords, $number = '6', $limit = '3') 
    {
        $keywords = strip_tags($keywords);
        $keywords = strtolower($keywords);
        $keywords = htmlentities($keywords, ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8');
        $keywords = preg_replace('`\[.*\]`U', '', $keywords);
        $keywords = preg_replace('`&(amp;)?#?[a-z0-9]+;`i', '', $keywords);
        $keywords = preg_replace('`&([a-z])(acute|uml|circ|grave|ring|cedil|slash|tilde|caron|lig);`i', '\\1', $keywords);
        $keywords = str_replace($this->_search, $this->_replace, $keywords);
        $keywords = explode(' ',$keywords);
        $keywords = array_unique($keywords);
      foreach($keywords as $keyword) {
            if(mb_strlen($keyword) >= $limit && !empty($keyword) && !is_numeric($keyword)) {
                $key[] = $keyword;
            }
        }
        $key = array_slice($key, 0, $number);
      $keywords = implode(',',$key);
      $keywords = trim($keywords, ',');
        return $keywords;
    }   

   /*
     * $this->meta()->description($description);
     */
    public function description($description) 
    {
        $description = strip_tags($description);
        $description = strtolower($description);
        $description = htmlentities($description, ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8');
        $description = preg_replace('`\[.*\]`U', '', $description);
        $description = preg_replace('`&(amp;)?#?[a-z0-9]+;`i', '-', $description);
        $description = preg_replace('`&([a-z])(acute|uml|circ|grave|ring|cedil|slash|tilde|caron|lig);`i', '\\1', $description);
        $description = str_replace($this->_search, $this->_replace, $description);
        return $description;
    }   
}
