Missing description + Missing or invalid H1
-
So I have more than 1.4K Meta Data Issues that states that there is "Missing Description" together with "Missing or invalid H1" and I have spent so many hours trying to figure this out, still no luck..
The problem seems to be to add a description in a specific tag, for example:
https://www.troyhoffman.com/blog/tag/courage
The platform I use (Squarespace) doesn't allow me to add a description to e specific tag.
Any ideas on how I can fix this problems?

Description is empty and H1 missing. You could add an H1 to Tag in the Template (not sure if possible for squarespace) wich somehow says the name of the tag and to define it more, Articles marked up with <nameoftag>. Or use the Text in Header for your H1. If you cant add descriptions, you cant do anything here. But imho, you dont need to add H1 or MD here.</nameoftag>
All you would achieve is , you will not see the issues again. But I am really not sure if you should index these Tags. It allways depends how much different categories and tags are and how much stuff is in it. How unique and usefull they are. But in most cases it is better to noindex these . They are oftentimes thin (your example to links with image and excerpt) and duplicate (your example, bet thats 100% exists elsewhere - more than one time) content. Maybe you can do that.
These Tags will never rank for any term, so why optimize them? Not worth the work. The question is: is it useful to have them? And: is it useful to have them indexed? Is a Visitor using these pages? Are they needed for anything?
BTW - Some of your Alt-Attributes are toooo long - I mean, they should describe the image and you sometimes did it how it should be. But in some image-alt's are dont know 200 words?

Unsolved Moz Pro crawl signaling missing canonical which are not?
Hi,
Moz Pro | | rolandvintners
I'm trying MozPro considering using it.
One of the tool which is appealing is the crawl and insights.
After quick use, I really question many of the alerts, for instance, I got a "missing canonical tag" on this url: https://vintners.co/wine/grawu_gto#2020 but when I check my markup, there's clearly a canonical tag: <link rel="canonical" href="https://vintners.co/wine/grawu_gto"> Anybody can explain?
I asked Moz Pro staff when being onboarded but didn't get an answer...
Honestly, I'm questioning the value of these crawls, or may be I miss something?0 -

Missing Page Titles On The Comptetive Link Comparison Page
Hello, When I do a Link Analysis using the SEOmoz tools I have noticed that most of the pages listed on the Top Pages tab show [No Data] for page title. Any idea why that could be? The page source of those pages have one and only one <title>tag.</p> <p>Thanks!</p></title>

HTML5 multiple h1 tags
When I run the On-Page Report Card it tells me that I should remove the multiple instances of H1 tags, even though the website is built using HTML5 and has hierarchical structure where each section / article has its own H1 tag. This approach is completely legal with HTML5 and I'm just wondering what impact does it have on SEO and whether the On-Page Report Card recognises the HTML5 and processes it accordingly.
