      I have recently set up a mens style blog - the site is made up of articles pulled in from a CMS and I am wanting to keep the design as clean as possible - so no text other than the articles.

      This makes it hard to get a H1 tag into the page - are there any solutions/alternatives? that would be good for SEO?

      The site is http://www.iamtheconnoisseur.com/

      Thanks

        Hi, it looks like you have a Wordpress website and also the use of H1. For example on page: http://www.iamtheconnoisseur.com/casual-connoisseur-x-trickett-the-weir-collaboration-gift-set/ you have H1 at Casual Connoisseur x TRiCKETT ( you can see it in the source code).

        Your site is using images you can use the "alt tag"  here's some info about it: https://econsultancy.com/blog/63845-the-basics-of-using-alt-text-for-seo/
        Also start using the meta description in the head, it's not a big SEO thing but at least your snippets in Google will get it's info from it and good snippets are good for clicks.

        Get backlinks to your site. Without backlinks no authority on your domain. in OSE i don't see any backlink, it's worth trying to get some..

        Use Social Media to push your site.

        Grtz, Leonie

          yeah I know for the subpages I have the H1's i mean for the homepage? in terms of it not being text based other than the individual articles content.

          Yeah backlinks - social is the next thing to get on once I have the site finished 🙂

          Thanks

            Hey there!

            I'm assuming that you don't have a static homepage in WordPress, meaning that you can't edit it under 'pages' and add an H1.

            You'll have to find the home / index template under Appearance > Editor and add an H1 there.

            Hope this steers you in the right direction!

              This would be correct and a simple job. Find a WordPress developer and have them make an edit to the theme to include an H1 tag.

              Send me a message and I could help.
