Is Moz not finding the H1s?
-
Our theme adds a class to our site's H1s. For example:
Our front page:...
The blog:
...
As a result, Moz is not seeing the keyword in titles when checking using Page Optimization. The theme developer says there is no setting to turn off in order to test this.
My question is, is this a true issue that is hurting our site or is Moz simply not finding it because it only looks for? Are there other options for troubleshooting this potential issue?
Thanks for your future answers.

Thanks effectdigital, Screaming Frog did show H1s on blogs so I am going to assume it is a non-issue.

If you want I can run your pages through a non-rendered (source only) crawler and see what gets picked up (would need the domain and the types of page you want me to look at, though). If you want to do it yourself I recommend picking up the free version of Screaming Frog SEO Spider which you can download here: https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/ - even the free version, I think, let's you crawl 500 URLs in one project (or something like that). It would easily be enough to tell what's what

Thank Shahryar89! Great info.
I did check the site using seositecheckup.com and it did show an H1 so I am going to assume all is well.
Thanks again, -
Hi,
Moz tool can be creepy at times, what you can do is that manually check your page If it' has h1 tags are there or not from Inspect element or View Source code. Plus try to use any of these tools like Google tools LightHouse, PagespeedInsights and Mobile FriendlyTest not sure if these tool would give you the answer but then you will see the most of the issues. Try this tool seositecheckup.com and you can also check by fetching a page with rendering HTML to see how does Google reads it or sees it.

I'm finding it difficult to make a decision on keywords to select to target for new site?
Hi, I'm doing keyword research for a small site and followed the standard keyword process of using Ahrefs and Google's keyword planner tools to see what keywords are being searched for my service. There are keywords that have a higher avg monthly search volume but they are aren't as relevant as ones that include the word cheap or affordable for example but those ones are only 300 monthly searches per month which seems very small for the main page of the site. Any advice what I should do in this scenario? Do I choose a more relevant keyword with lower search volume or go for one with much higher avg monthly search volume which is much more competitive?

What do you do with indexed pages that you can't find any keywords for?
You know those pages that you really need to have for your site that most people get to through the nav bar or maybe internal linking, but never through organic search? The ones where you can't find any applicable keywords with volume or even just a keyword with no volume data that just shows up in the Google autocomplete or People Also Search For. What's the better option? just not optimize the page for any keywords at all, but have Title Tag/Meta Description optimized for CTR just in case OR optimize the page for a very loosely applicable keyword even though it's a a bit of stretch or longshot

How do I find out what low-volume keywords are best to target?
Since many of our products and services are purpose-built for a niche community, I find that many of the keywords I am researching are all low-volume. Data on the Keyword Difficulty Tool show '0' under Bing Search Volume (exact match). I know what my competitors are targeting based on their title tags and web content, but I'm not sure if they did their keyword research homework, so I don't want to assume. Is there any other way to determine which keywords I should be targeting?

kayaks for fishing But I'm worried I'm missing the point, I don't see hardly any traffic from most of these. I've really tried to rank for "kayak fishing" but seem to be totally lost in the Google Panda abyss. Any advice on a different word or strategy would be greatly appreciated!0
