If you're doing a one-page app like this, you can replace the contents of the <title> and <meta> tags when you navigate between pages.
>From our experience on polymer-project.org, this seems to work well. The Google indexer executes JavaScript. We made changes a few weeks back to correct the titles for the element reference pages, and have seen SEO for those pages increase significantly. The other fix was to a separate URL path for each page, instead of using a hash. So: .../elements/core-elements.html#element-name Became: .../elements/element-name.html For Google, you can use Webmaster Tools to see what pages look like to the indexer. I suspect other search engines have similar tools. I recommend anyone do this, whether you're using Polymer or not. In the case of pp.org, we found that our SEO issues were unrelated to Polymer.
