New websites

[Bennerya]

Hi Moz community,

My company updated and used a new developer to build and re-design their charity websites: www.runforcharity.com, www.cycleforcharity.com and www.sportforcharity.com.

This sites were "re-launched" at the beggining of December 2015 and I have now been able to get a good 6 weeks worth of data.

I've been religiously using Moz.com for a couple of years and I use it simply for SEO purposes. Our websites are built upon organic traffic being driven to them and I have noticed that the PA on the new sites has taken a hammering.  They all appear to have a PA of 1 and I'm at a loss why?  It appears that no page has h1 text? Would this be an issue with the developer or something the content team is doing wrong?

Any help of advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Ryan

If it's only about the H1 - if you look at the source the H1 tag is commented

Example; http://runforcharity.com/start-to-run/get-off-that-couch/getting-fit-for-a-marathon - H1 tag in source:

Seems more an issue with your developers than content.
The main title on that page is GETTING FIT FOR A MARATHON - which is the H2 title. I would change this to the H1?

Have you change URL structure? Because new pages get PA of 1. If old pages are redirected with 301 to new pages then PA will be recovered on next Moz index update. If wasn't then do it ASAP.

You need to see your GA for traffic drops and web acces log files for 404 errors.

About H1, if page doesn't have H1 then will be used H2 or H3. Rule is "highers header available". But H1 is much better.
