Missing H1 headings
-
Hi,
I have an enquiry in relation to missing H1 headings. I am getting a number of these errors reported for collection pages where I am using a full width banner image at the top of the page with no visible description underneath. In these circumstances is it advisable to somehow include a H1 heading or can I ignore it? -
It's advisable to include an H1 heading for SEO and accessibility purposes. You can incorporate it into the banner image or place it visibly beneath the banner to ensure search engines and users understand the page's content. Ignoring it may impact your SEO performance.

@Stramark No H1 heading found on this page. My homepage ByTure blog has the same problem. What would be the problem?

@CardsWishes Thank you

H1 is very important for SEO, so do whatever it takes to have a H1 tag on every page.

While it's generally recommended to have an H1 heading on your web pages for improved accessibility and SEO, there are cases where it may be acceptable to omit the H1 heading, such as in the scenario you described with a full-width banner image and no visible description underneath.

@Stramark Ok, thanks for your advice.

@Colin12 just a H1 will not make your page rank without additional content.
I love doing everything as it should. so: just add a correct H1 to the page.

@Stramark
Thank you for your reply.
This specific error is being reported after a site crawl on Moz.
I am just unsure about the relative importance of H1 headings. In this collection page there is no H1 heading, just a banner image with no further content, other than the products contained in the collection.
In this instance should I change the collection template to allow for a banner image and a H1 heading or just ignore the H1 heading. -
@Colin12 Do not know where you get errors? Search console?
A H1 is a nice best practice, but it will not save you on pages with limited content.
Consider to take away all headings in the boiler plate content (After "Stay In Touch")Wouter - Online Marketing Bureau Stramark.nl

Ok maybe im missing something.
Ok maybe im missing something. I signed up 5/2 I got a complete crawl within a few days. Good information im all excited to work on the changes. I made a bunch of changes to improve my site. Like I had to many on page links. I made a bunch of changes to fix that problem and some title tag problem. So now im waiting and waiting to see the changes that I made updated in my campaign and nothing. It said it was running a new crawl last thursday no changes show and then again this thursday now it says may 24 and last scan on the 12th. My title tag for my home page still shows the old title and I got the links way down I believe under 100 and it still show 200 to 300. It seems like im just not getting up to date information fast enough. To pay 99 bucks a month and after 2 weeks no changes seems odd. Maybe im doing something wrong can someone tell me if this is normal? I like the data but its not updating. I want to see that my changes are working and keep making changes and i cant keep waiting and waiting. Thanks for any ones help. Ken

H1 tag in the footer?
Quick question: I have been scouring SEOMoz.org along with webmaster forums looking for an answer, but we have a person who insists that the H1 tag be located in the Footer. I feel that is is fundamentally wrong because it is not the intent of the H1 tag, and I do not believe it is a best practice. That being said would we see what little value the H1 tag has disappear if we put it in the footer, would we be penalized, or am I being too vanilla by wanting to keep it in the Title position?

Same H1 tag in header across entire site
Should I have the same H1 tag in my header through out my entire site? Or is this considered to be self canalization for my main keywords. For example right now I have an H1 tag with my main targeted keywords on every page on my site, even if the pages content doesn't necessarily match the keywords in the H1 tag.
