      H1 tags on my client's website follow the template [Service] + [Location]. These two have their own span, meaning there are two spans in an H1 tag.

      class="what">Truck Repair near class="where">California, CA

      How do crawl bots see this? Is that okay for SEO?

          I wouldn't see it as a problem either, however, I'd look into whether moving away from microformats and moving to schema might be better and cleaner for the code.

          Google recommends JSON-LD: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data?visit_id=1-636614196659196059-2807489360&hl=en&rd=1

          And you can also add it through GTM, which I find really handy 🙂

            A is simply an inline formatting tag and has no real meaning so it will be fine as far as SEO goes.

              Hi Kevin

              Yes, there's no problem. Check this html rules:

              H1 - H6 tags https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_hn.asp

              Span tag https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_span.asp
