Hi Donna,
In all our multiple tests ScreamingFrog and multiple other tools find the H1 tag, so that no, that is the answer or question. But it is nice to hear from you.
Yes, I have used screaming frog for years and love it. All H1's are in the code; ScreamFrog, SEMrush, WooRank, and many other tool verify that.
For years Moz has found and reported that the H1 title tags that ARE on each page, so the question is not their existence, it is why they are incorrectly flagged as missing.
In case you missed clicking on the screenshot above, I will attach it below. You can quickly see the H1.
Why are the H1's suddenly reported incorrectly on every page by Moz?
More example pages below:
Hi Meghan,
It is there - you just need to look further down. See my screenshot. So that cannot be why Moz is reporting it missing.
It happened at the exact same time so I am inclined to investigate a correlation.
The new Moz errors for missing H1 tags align with the timing of the new Moz DA. We have not changed anything onsite nor are these tags implemented dynamically.
Both desktop and AMP version of each page have an H1. Example page: Google Maps Marketing
Might this be a bug with the new Moz DA rollout?
Thanks to the Moz Team for your dedicated work creating the new Link Explorer. I find it does help to uncover a better overall story to understand DA changes and to compare competitor metrics. It is nice to see Moz consider how Google ranks a site and attributes greater trust, authority, and ranking power to one over the other

Thanks for the article Ian Watson.

I received a Moz prompt to check out if this question was answered yet.
Any chance that you have had a response from your development team?
The client's site is still archived. I am looking forward (dare I hope?) to those awesome reports coming again soon.
Hi Samantha,
Thank you for taking time to answer. As SEMrush, Ahrefs and other keyword tools are all associating the right keyword to the intended page, as well as per my Google reports, it remains baffling.
I have a page with the exact URL of "google-structured-data-update", so it would be great if Moz could associate my Google Algorithm Updates page with the correct keyword association. Maybe 6 months ago we had the wrong canonical tag - just maybe. If so, is there a way to "reset" Moz's data?
Hopefully, you are right and someone in the Moz community can weigh in on what is happening.
Thank you.
Somehow the Moz tool has assigned the main keyword here this to my Google Structured Data Update page. Most likely, I missed something which caused the error.
"Keyword np - /google-structured-data-update/"
This is for my page titled "Announcement of Google algorithm updates Impact SEO techniques"The canonical tag links to https://www.hillwebcreations.com/google-algorithum-updates-impact-seo-tactics/ as it should, so I am wondering how to update the keyword Moz associates this page with.Any leads to solving this would be appreciated.
One other question, if I may add it.
I have several additional clients with the same host and at the same server tier.
Why is this one site only affected?
I am glad it is only one. However, if something can be tweaked to prevent a pending occurrence with others, I would be grateful to know.
Thanks in advance for your time and research.
Hi Dave,
I appreciate your working on this as we love your weekly reports and find them a huge value.
I already archived the campaign. So we are one very eager client of yours for news of a full solution. If needed, this is for https://www.smiledesigndentistry.com/
Thank you, JH
Have you found many willing to use a cross domain canonical tag?
For my page www.homedestination.com/Minneapolis-homes-for-sale.html, Moz ranks the page as an "F" for the keyword "Minneapolis home buyers".
All data in the report card is from months ago. using the "Grade my On-Page Optimization" button fails to show any updates - even after months.
For example the title is actually "Minneapolis Homes For Sale| buying a Minneapolis home | Homebuyers" while Moz says it is ""Minneapolis Homes For Sale | Home Destination | Jenna Thuening"
Moz says the description tag is "Realtor Jenna Theuning helping real estate buyers find Minnetonka homes for sale, owner of Home Destination. CDPE also helps with foreclosure and short sales buying." and "Minneapolis homes for sale, and Minneapolis listing, and Minneapolis upscale real estate, and Minneapolis lakeside properties provided by Home Destination"" when it is actually "Minneapolis homes for sale, and Minneapolis listing, Minneapolis home buyers, and Minneapolis lakeside properties provided by Home Destination."
Additionally, my weekly ranking reports seems "stuck" and continues to show many "F" ranked keywords that have been updated for some time.
Amy advice on how to see improvements?
John Mueller of Google Search recently shared quite a bit on the topic of links and website ranking factors in a Google Webmasters Hangout.
Naturally gaining affirmative incoming links pointing to those blog posts will substantially help. Creating the post is only a first step, I find that marketing the post afterwards takes longer - but also is what really gets the content used.
When a link is no followed, Google doesn’t pass link juice.
When a link is followed but is no indexed, in this case, Google does pass page rank because they are aware of the page.
When a page is no indexed and the link is nofollow, Google essentially sees it similar to a 404 page and skips it will flag to the spiders that this page is now relevant and to re-crawl the page.
CONCLUSION: When conducting a link audit, reviewing the link risk and considering factors currently ranking sites, the need for SEOs to understand NoFollow links is still necessary. This goes beyond the scope of the content distribution networks that we've tried.
When something is this central to building your domain authority, I agree with Egol that a more hands-on approach has it benefits.
Strong social signals also help a lot: each platform is unique from Google+, to Facebook and LinkedIn for lead generation.
Thanks again for the update.
It is great to have the Crawl Test Tool; I use it quite often.
Both immediately before and after the odd Moz notice; all was well on the same pages from readings with the Crawl Test Tool.
Best on you on-going development. We appreciate your hard work.
I concur with Matthew and Travis.
At a minimum, every single business site can benefit from:
1. indicating to both bots and users at least what is your industry niche via schema.
2. adding the schema for reviews to gain gold stars in SERPs.
When I use Site Explorer to test the following URL, http://jennathuening.results.net/site/index.php, it renders a domain authority of 47. (Clients site on real estate host)
no Facebook share
no Facebook likes
no Twitter tweets
no Google+ plus 1's
no "just discovered" in 60 days
no one has made a post in 3 weeks
much or most of the content is duplicate content across all affiliate sites
inbound links - only one link - a 301 redirect http://jennathuening.results.net/

AND YET IT HAS A ROOT DOMAIN OF "47" and page authority of 33
More confusing, its page authority of 33 is at that top on blue background and then page 30 just listed below.
When I use Site Explorer to test the following URL, http://www.homedestination.com, it renders a domain authority of 26. (Site personally owned and continually update with highly optimized fresh, relevant, quality content with grade "A" moz ranked pages and blog posts)

While I am sure there are many other factors as well; it still is hard to see where a "smaller guy" could ever be given an even opportunity to play in the same SEO arena. Could you help me understand better? I like to build a stronger marketing and optimization strategy as we are just beginning AdWord campaigns.
