      We have 2 sites that have been set up slightly differently. On 1 site we have the Company name in the H1 and the product name in the page title and H2. On the other site we have the Product name in the H1 and no H2.

      Does anyone have any advise about the best information to have in the H1 and H2

        You have some great responses so far, and I wanted to add one additional thought. Header tags are really important for screen readers.   When in doubt about the best way to use page elements, I tend to think to myself about what would be the best case for Accessibility. The answer is usually one of your top options for search optimization also.

          Yes, I agree with those responses. The other thing to consider is that H1 tags should be specifically descriptive of the page that they are on. If you have the same H1 on every page (company name) you are not giving search engines any extra clues to what the page is about. (Also H2 and below can be useful in structuring your page, but are not big ranking signals.)

            Hi Li,

            I'm completely agree with Umar's suggestion.

            To know more how to use Heading tag in SEO perspective please read this @ http://blog.woorank.com/2013/04/how-to-use-heading-tags-for-seo/

            Hope this helps.

            Thanks

              Hey Li,

              Thanks for posting the question. The heading structure usually go something like this,

              <``h1``>Main Headingh1>` `<h2>Secondary Heading 1`h2> <h3>Sub-section of the secondary heading 1`h3``>````

              ``In your case, I'd suggest you to go with your main "Service/Product Name" with your brand name at the page title (it's a common practice) And in H1, you can use your main service/product name.

              The heading tags are used to represent different sections of web page content and they have the impact on both the SEO and usability of your site. So do use them where they should be placed and do not stuff them with the keywords.

              Hope this helps!``

                Home Page Disappears From Google - But Rest of Site Still Ranked

                As title suggests we are running into a serious issue of the home page disapearing from Google search results whilst the rest of the site still remains. We search for it naturally cannot find a trace, then use a "site:" command in Google and still the home page does not come up. We go into web masters and inspect the home page and even Google states that the page is indexable. We then run the "Request Indexing" and the site comes back on Google. This is having a damaging affect and we would like to understand why this issue is happening. Please note this is not happening on just one of our sites but has happened to three which are all located on the same server. One of our brand which has the issue is: www.henweekends.co.uk

                Best Practices for Title Tags for Product Listing Page

                My industry is commercial real estate in New York City. Our site has 300 real estate listings. The format we have been using for Title Tags are below. This probably disastrous from an SEO perspective. Using number is a total waste space. A few questions:
                -Should we set listing not no index if they are not content rich?
                -If we do choose to index them, should we avoid titles listing Square Footage and dollar amounts?
                -Since local SEO is critical, should the titles always list New York, NY or Manhattan, NY?
                -I have red that titles should contain some form of branding. But our company name is Metro Manhattan Office Space. That would take up way too much space. Even "Metro Manhattan" is long. DO we need to use the title tag for branding or can we just focus on a brief description of page content incorporating one important phrase? Our site is: w w w . m e t r o - m a n h a t t a n . c o m <colgroup><col width="405"></colgroup>

                Taxonomy question - best approach for site structure

                Hi all, I'm working on a dentist's website and want some advice on the best way to lay out the navigation. I would like to know which structure will help the site work naturally. I feel the second example would be better as it would focus the 'power' around the type of treatment and get that to rank better. .com/assessment/whitening
                .com/assessment/straightening
                .com/treatment/whitening
                .com/treatment/straightening or .com/whitening/assessment
                .com/straightening/assessment
                .com/whitening/treatment
                .com/straightening/treatment Please advise, thanks.

                Is it bad for SEO to have a page that is not linked to anywhere on your site?

                Hi, We had a content manager request to delete a page from our site. Looking at the traffic to the page, I noticed there were a lot of inbound links from credible sites. Rather than deleting the page, we simply removed it from the navigation, so that a user could still access the page by clicking on a link to it from an external site. Questions: Is it bad for SEO to have a page that is not directly accessible from your site? If no: do we keep this page in our Sitemap, or remove it? If yes: what is a better strategy to ensure the inbound links aren't considered "broken links" and also to minimize any negative impact to our SEO? Should we delete the page and 301 redirect users to the parent page for the page we had previously hidden?

                Wrong titles in site links

                Hello fellow marketers, I have found this weird thing with our website in the organic results. The sitelinks in the SERP shows wrong written text. As in grammatically incorrect text. My question is where does Google get the text from? It is not the page title as we can see it. kKsFv0X.png

                Exact match Title and H1 tags, and over optimization

                Hi Mozzers - was just wondering whether matching H1 and Title tags are still OK, or whether there's an over optimization risk if they exact match?

                Company name causing Google penalty?

                Hi all, Once of my clients has a keyword as part of their company name, and it seems like the website is being given a penalty in the keyword SERP because of the amount of websites linking back using the company name? Is there anything i can do to prevent/balance this out? Thanks, Anthony
