Pages with no meta description and title

After doing a site audit on my client website, I found out that 100 pages don`t have meta description and site title, while some of the pages have got duplicate content also. The agreement I have with my client is to rank 25 pages, which are 25 keywords.If I fix the 25 pages and try to rank them. I will like to know, will the 100 pages without a site title and page description, duplicate meta description, affect my work and won`t let the 25 pages get ranked.

Jane Phelps: My thought exactly, Scott Clark. Who would ever guarantee page 1 results, unless the search volume is zero and low competition...
Williams Ben: You guys should forget about my guarantee to the first page of google and advice on how you will tackle the issue as an SEO pro. or better let me take out the first page of Google since that is what you all can see.
Roger Montti: It is impossible to guarantee rankings as part of a contract.

That is because the ranking depends on a third party that is not a part of your agreement/contract.

In many places it is ILLEGAL to guarantee anything that depends on a third party who is not a part of the contract.

From Google:
"No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.
Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings..."

Sam Partland: Putting the non-related answers aside, strengthening the entire site will help you overall in ranking your specific pages. I`d recommend doing work on more than just those 25 pages, in an attempt to rank those 25 specifically.

You could pad out supporting content on the extra pages, and then link through to the page you`re trying to rank for example.

The items you`ve specifically mentioned might not help directly, but the overall increase in strength from any work on the other pages may help.
Williams Ben: Sam Partland Best advice so far. Thanks so much for your wonderful contribution.
Adam John Humphreys: Well for one thing rankings arenâ€™t just on page but internal external link factors. Use appropriate canonical tags to show appropriate attribution. Really though redundancy isnâ€™t ideal. Tags are also a suggestion not a guarantee.
Williams Ben: thanks for your help
George G.: sites rank based on multipliers (https://www.searchenginejournal.com/how-google.../307591/)

if you want to rank those pages, you need to fix anything wrong with the site you can find, including those 100 other pages. either fix them or delete them.
Eva Brown: If your site has a silo structure or an interlinked pages then your ranking will affect for those 25. There is no shortcut to update all pages with title, description etc. You will have to put them yourself. And no one can guarantee the ranking in the Google. If someone do so then he is just a scam. Indexing another thing but ranking is totally different.
Michael Martinez: The title and meta description for page ALPHA generally do not affect the search performance for page BETA.
