Take a look at the COMPLETE LIST OF PATTERNS available in SEO Automaton – and learn more about what each one of them does.

{{date}}Displays the post/page’s publishing date.
{{title}}Adds the published title of the post/page.
{{page}}Displays the number of the current page (i.e. 1 of 6)
{{parent_title}}Adds the title of a page’s parent page. (according to how it’s set up in Page Attributes)
{{sitename}}Adds the site’s name. (as it’s set up in Settings > General > Site Title)
{{sitedesc}}Adds the site’s description. (as it’s set up in Settings > General > Tagline)
{{excerpt}}Will display an excerpt from the post/page – as it appears in the excerpt field in WordPress for that particular page/post.

If NOT customized, the excerpt will be auto-generated, displaying the first lines of text from your post/page.
{{excerpt_only}}Will display an excerpt from the post/page – as it appears in the excerpt field in WordPress for that particular page/post.
