      I know people suggest having a H1 with your keyword on your page somewhere to help with SEO.

      My current wordpress theme has the post title as a H2.

      Is there a big difference in using H1 vs H2

        I would set your post title as the H1. That is my personal preference and what i do for my clients.

        H1 gets a little more weight than an H2, though it is not much simply because it's too easy to stuff.

        • Magento 1.9 SEO. I have product pages with identical On Page SEO score in the 90's. Some pull up Google page 1 some won't pull up at all. I am searching for the exact title on that page.

        • In our reports we get alt tag errors for our banner images. We are unable to add alt tags to the banner images as they live inside CSS. We can add a title tag on the div title for the banner. Does that help with SEO and accessibility?
