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 Why doesn't moz notify me of missing image alt tags
We had a client come to us and let us know another vendor had notified them that many of the images on their site are missing alt tags / text. I know this was a big deal back in the day, but I haven't heard much about it lately. I am assuming if it doesn't even show up in the Moz site crawl, it must not be a big deal any more, but I would love to have more info about how important image alt tags are and if they are important, why Moz does not report them.

Page with "Missing Title Tag" isn't a page
Hello, I am going through the various errors that the Moz Pro Crawl report and some non-existent pages keep coming up in the report. For example, one error category is "Missing Title Tag" with one page identified. But this page http://www.immigroup.com/news/“http%3A/crs.yorku.ca”?page=2 isn't real. It would have been a 404 were there not a redirect for everything that is /news/gobbledygook to /news. So my question is: when moz (or GA for that matter) identifies these pages as "real" and having errors, do I need to take this seriously? And what do I do about it? Thanks! George

Something I'm missing META Description
When using the SEOMoz on page analysis for "luxury marquee hire" on www.katalysticevents.com it's telling me I have no meta description but my source code includes the following: Line 94 <meta property="<a class="attribute-value">og:description</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">Katalystic Events - Luxury Marquee Hire</a>" /> Being a real newbie am I missing something here? I've included the info uploaded form my wordpress CMS, why is SEOmoz not picking this meta description up?

Missing Juicy link finder
Hello, In the past, I was using two tools mainly: Keyword difficulty and the Juicy link finder. Buit Juicy Link Finder does not exist anymore and I miss it 😞 Any of you are missing it also? Do any of you who were using that tool have found a new tool to do the same good job than what Juicy Link Finder was doing? Thanks Nancy

Why does the crawl report say I should have meta description and title tags in my xml files?
Just had my first crawl report today which has been very useful in finding missing and duplicated title tags and meta descriptions but it has flagged up the fact that my xml files are missing these. Surely non HTML documents shouldn't have them (or need them) so why are they showing up in the report?
