No. I’m looking for a way to change the TITLE, DESCRIPTION, and H1 in categories and topics.  
I need this for SEO promotion.  
Perhaps there is a component or plugin that simplifies this task.

This is not really necessary because it autofills the document title with the topic title and category. If you are looking to change the last bit, you can change the `title` site setting.

> categories

This is also prefilled with your title and the category name. What are you looking to change it to?

Do you understand that crawlers get an entirely different view than users using a browser with Javascript? Discourse is a javascript app, so what you see in your browser is not what crawlers see.

What do you think you want to change and why?

Discourse does a very good job with SEO out of the box, so you almost certainly don’t need to do whatever it is you’re trying to do.
