They should ideally all be in the HEAD of the document, although I'm not sure how much of a difference it'll make with Google, which appears to primarily use metadata for categorization rather than relevance. You can ensure that they're placed in the document head from any code you use to build the page, using the CFHTMLHEAD tag, unless you've already flushed content using CFFLUSH.
