I have checked the different permalink structure of OSCLASS themes but it is not SEO friendly, for example, if my Sell & Buy site is focused on one country and user want to search for cars in Sergeantsville, the URL will be
https://gamma.mb-themes.com/index.php?page=search&sOrder=dt_pub_date&iOrderType=desc&sCountry=us&sRegion=782072&sCity=439046&sShowAs=list&sCategory=cars
This is very lengthy and not good for SEO purposes instead it should be like for a search "Cars in Karachi" OLX URL is
https://www.olx.com.pk/karachi_g4060695/cars_c84
(URL includes both word Cars and Karachi)
Also, I couldn't found that what will be the Meta Title if a URL includes both Category and City.
I want to know if there is any possibility to make the URL SEO friendly and add their meta title and description including both Category and The City?
I would be grateful to get and comprehensive answer.

This is SEO friendly URL created from yours.
https://gamma.mb-themes.com/search/sOrder,dt_pub_date/iOrderType,desc/country,us/region,782072/city,439046/sShowAs,list/category,cars
If you remove "unwanted" parameters from URL and will use just this:
https://gamma.mb-themes.com/search/city,439046/category,cars
Then URL will be converted into friendly format:
https://gamma.mb-themes.com/cars_sergeantsville-c439046
There are basically few types of "very friendly" urls:
- category
- region
- city
- region & category combination
- city & category combination
But keep in mind that even that long URL is seo friendly, we are not looking to make it short, long or whatever, but not to use ?, & and _ symbols in URL, as you can see in category/location combination there is underscore character but, as there could raise problems of using like - char

Dear,
Thank you for the comprehensive reply, but I am bit confused at below points, if you could verify please;
1. How to make the URL SEO friendly, as I couldn't found such a setting in ALL IN ONE SEO PLUGIN?
Then URL will be converted into friendly format:
https://gamma.mb-themes.com/cars_sergeantsville-c439046
2. In regards to the below, how we can edit the metadata of SEO Friendly URL?
Then URL will be converted into friendly format:
https://gamma.mb-themes.com/cars_sergeantsville-c439046
3. Is there any possibility to change the underscore (_) with char (-)?
Then URL will be converted into friendly format:
https://gamma.mb-themes.com/cars_sergeantsville-c439046

Seo plugin has nothing common with link generation format, try this:
<?php echo osc_search_url(array('page' => 'search', 'sCategory' => 1, 'sCity' => 123)); ?>
Where sCategory is ID of category, sCity is ID of city.
It should generate for you URL in such format.
If you add additional parameters, format like this is used:
https://gamma.mb-themes.com/search/sOrder,dt_pub_date/iOrderType,desc/country,us/region,782072/city,439046/sShowAs,list/category,cars
that is still SEO friendly.

Plugin allows to set it up for each element separately and then combination is generated.
