Most clients could care less how their website is produced, or the technical aspects of metatags or anything else. They want results, not issues. It's not a case of being dishonest, or up front. Metatags are not a client issue. Most people buy cars and don't care who made the engine inside or whether the car was made in England, or anywhere else, or if there's a small advert on the engine that identifies the maker of the engine.

I don't point out things to clients that they don't need to know, it creates doubt in their mind. They just want solutions.
