      So I'm working with a client who has no heading tags on his site and I'm wondering if there is an ideal method to implementing these on the product pages specifically, as the wording I ideally want to specify is is the product title, which i can't really code with an H1.

      Has anyone run into this issue? If so, what was your solution?

      Also, how vital are these heading tags on the product pages, anyways?

      If the Volusion SEO expert could chime in, that would be much appreciated.

      Thanks everyone!

        Has Volusion implemented this change yet? Will They?

          Hi Jason, the

          concern will be addressed with the release of Volusion's new theme engine. I expect this to be available this year, perhaps Q3. Along with this concern, the entire Volusion interface will be modernized and the new framework will enable unprecedented optimization options across categories and products. More information will be available soon.

          As for your 300+ pages of duplicate content, it's very unlikely this is an

          issue. Have you tried entering one of your URLs into a free service like copyscape.com ? This could help you identify what content is duplicate. Furthermore, If you'd like to provide your store, I'll take a look and get back to you ASAP with a recommendation.

          Regards,

          Nathan Joynt

            I just wanted to check in with this question and see if the latest versions of volusion now incorporate h1 automatically, or if i still need to go into the html on each page and add my h1's manually? Moz says i have over 300 pages of duplicate content, I think because there are no h1 tags with my new volusion store?

              Hi Paul, thank you for your patience. And thank you everyone else as well. I did get this entered into product for 2014. I do not know currently exact timing, although I will keep you posted.

                Any update on fixing this in Volusion?  It seems so simple just to wrap the page title in H1 rather than having users go through thousands of product pages and manually adding H1 titles to the descriptions.

                      Nathan,

                      Thanks for your response. The domain name is www.Oransi.com and I did use Tamara's advice, which worked for the most part. Certain variables came into play that I wasn't expecting, but overall that did fix my issue. However, if you could indeed suggest to the V13 product team about using product names as H1s, I believe your clientele would benefit indeed.

                      Thanks to everyone who helped here.

                        Hello,

                        Yes, Tamara is correct with her suggestion to include the

                        within the Description 'HTML Editor' area. I can talk with the V13 product team as well about the ability to treat the product name as the

                        . I like to use actual merchant examples in my product optimization requests. Would you mind telling me the domain so I can include it in the story?

                        Kind regards,

                        Nathan Joynt

                          Ah Volusion. Yes, we've run into this issue.  Unfortunately, you can't add an

                          around the logical spot for the product name (at the top of the page below the crumb trail)  So what we've done, and had very good results from in long tail / product-based search results, is to repeat the product name (sometimes with a bit of a keyword tweak) as the leading data in the product description area - where you do have control over the HTML.

                          Here's an example:  https://www.diigo.com/item/image/3y63p/5pnd?size=o

                          The CSS which styles the H1's was edited to match the product name display at the top of the page, for consistency.

                          In order to quickly implement this run of site for all products, we used the CONCAT function in Excel to append the tags, and generally used the "productname" value to populate the heading text, then appended the closing tag + the actual description, and then just inserted back into the db.

                          CAVEAT:  If you're pulling a product feed back out of Volusion, you'll want to strip the HTML out of that description, in order to not get wonky behavior in the CSE's (comparison shopping engines).

                          Hope that helps - if not, and there's anything else I can add - please let me know.

                          Cheers!

                            Hi there, I have a question about my blog that I hope you guys can answer. Should I no index the category and tag pages of my blog? I understand they are considered as duplicate content, but what if I try to work the keyword of that category? What would you do? I am looking forward to reading your answers 🙂

                            Issues with Multiple H1 tags on homepage?

                            Hi folks, My homepage has 3 identical H1 tags due to the fact that I have had to create individual hero images (with headings) for desktop, tablet and mobile. I couldn't get my theme to display the layout in exactly the way I wanted on each device without doing a specific hero image and tag for each device type. Does this have a major impact on my SEO? Thanks,
                            Mike.

                            Multiple H1 tags on Squarespace blog page?

                            Hi All, I use Squarespace and while running my site (https://www.growmassagebusiness.com) through programs am seeing that my blog posts are being seen as one page with multiple H1 tags. I read through the SS help desk and found back in 2015 someone wrote that it's not a bit deal b/c of HTML5 and that the search engines will read each blog post as a sub-page. I'm not so sure about that and wondering what the experts think? If that is screwy then I'm considering possibly making each blog post it's own page rather than using their blog posting format.

                            Why is my contact us page ranking higher than my home page?

                            Hello, It doesn't matter what keyword I put into Google (when I'm not signed in and have cleaned down my browsing history) the contact us page ranks higher than the home page. I'm not sure why this is, the home page has a higher page authority, more links and more social media shares, the website is an established one. When I have checked Google Analytics my home page gets more people landing on it than the contact us page. It looks like people are ignoring the contact us page and scrolling down until they find the home page. I'd appreciate any help or advice you might have. Thank you.

                            We have been adding our company (Townscript) name in all the page titles. For example, in an event page of Lucknow Conclave: www.townscript.com/lucknowconclave the page title is Lucknow Conclave | Alexis Society | Townscript I read somewhere that it's not necessary to put your company's name in the title tag. Is it right? Please help!

                            Can I use Same Keyword for Multi pages Title Tags?

                            Hello All, I am working on client website and currently they are targeting One Keywords for multi pages. As I have search with Allintitle: Search query and Google display around 37 pages of website which carry same keyword in "Title Tags". I have told to client to change the "Title Tags" but they want that keyword for all relevant pages. So I want to know is that harm in Search Engine Ranking? Note: They have not done the link building activities for multi pages with same Keyword, they are using only in "Title Tags" only

                            Rel canonical tag back to the same page the tag is on?

                            Very simple, Why would a website (and I have seen tons doing this) link the rel canonical tag back to the same page the tag is on? Example: somepage.htm has a canonical tag linking to somepage.htm I thought the idea of this tag was to tell google if 2 pages are similar, this page is the original, and it's this page which should be indexed and the page with the tag on should pass all PR to the original. Maybe im wrong and someone can help me out to understand this.

                            Title and Heading Tags

                            Firstly I would like to comment on how helpful this site is. I haven't posted much before but have been reading tonnes of answers for many months now and have been finding it really useful. I used the SEOmoz scanner and the main problem highlighted was duplicate content so I started to add 'customer product reviews' I had received and unique 'further information' to each page (hopefully this was the right thing to do to solve duplicate content! : ) ) Then I looked at heading and title tags. Currently I set title tags for each product page to be "Brand Name- Product Name" but after doing some research we are thinking of putting Keyword Description of Product | Product Name | Brand Name (around 60 characters long). So is this the advised thing to do and create unique titles that are relevant to each specific product page for over 200 pages we have? In addition, any advice on setting optimum tags would be great. We keep reading varying tips online. I gather ideally h1 needs to be a shorter keyword rich version of the title tag? Many Thanks
