this->getSeoTitle(/*...*/)Calls a member function of this pointer.
In C++ you should in most cases just omit this-> in most cases.
That applies to first function argument too.

this is a special pointer that all the instances of a class have, and it points to the instance itself. It's usually used to avoid conflict when a local variable and a member variable have the same name, and when returning the instance itself from functions.
