Adding Meta Tags to .aspx pages

Question

I am very new to ASP but I've been asked to look at our website and determine how we can add unique Description and Keyword meta tags to our ASP-based site. Currently, the site is using the same for every page, which is very bad for Google search results.

The code in one of the aspx pages says:

{<%@ Page MasterPageFile="~/Master/Default.Master" Language="c#" ContentType="text/html" CodeBehind="FundRaising.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="Company.FundRaising" ValidateRequest="false" %> <asp:Content ID="Content1" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="cphContent">
    <div id="div-content" class="bgButterfly">
        <capris:StaticPage id="StaticPage1" runat="server" StaticPageId="11">No content available</capris:StaticPage>
    </div></asp:Content>}

(I replaced the name of the company with the word "Company" above.)

There is a file called Head.ascx that contains the generic meta tags now.

There are no .aspx.cs files in the directories, so it must have been pre-compiled into .dll files.

Without disturbing the functionality of the site, is there any way I can add unique description and keyword meta tags in the head of each page?

Thanks in advance.

You can add a control to the main page, in every sub page/user control, you can search for that control in the main page.

e.g in master page (or other form)

<asp:Literal id="lcGoogleinfo" runat=server></asp:Literal>

in sub form:

Literal lcGoogleinfo= (Literal)Master.FindControl("lcGoogleinfo");
