Magento 1.9 – Mass Update Meta Titles for Multi Store

Here is a simple script that updates the meta title for one product in one store view based on the SKU. You can create a CSV file or any other parsable format and use this script in a loop to update your meta titles

$sku = '12345';
$storeId = 2;
$metaTitle = 'Updated meta title';
$id = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product')->getIdBySku($sku);
if ($id) {
     Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_action')->updateAttributes(
         array($id),
         array('meta_title' => $metaTitle),
         $storeId
     );
}

Setting 0 (zero) for $storeId means that the default values will be updated.

                    <is_default>1</is_default>
                </two_columns_right>
            </layouts>
          </page>
