      Hi Mozzers,

      I've been looking at the View Source on my landing pages , and it looks to me that my H1 Tag etc is not in the head but in the body . My developer says its in the correct place , but can someone please confirm as it looks wrong to me.

      Many thanks

      Pete

        Ha, I understand your confusion. Heading tags (h1-h7) are not tags that go "in the header" surprisingly.

        The H1 tag on your page is in the correct place and your dev is correct.

        H1 tags are headings really, not headers. So they are headings for your content located within your content. As opposed to your website which has both header & footer code that essentially surround your content on every page.

        If you're still confused on it, check this video. It shows it fairly clearly and better than I can in a text box. Hope it helps!

          • I have a metadata issue. My site crawl is coming back with missing descriptions, but all of the pages look like site tags (i.e. /blog/?_sft_tag=call-routing)

          • 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?
