      Hello, Mozzers

      I have a question regarding placement of heading tags. I have seen this asked a few times on the forum but some are from a couple years ago so wanted to get a more up to date answer regarding this. We want to add H2 tags across our site but our two options are to wrap images we are using as navigation on the top of the page, these are directly below our pages H1 tag and actually make sense.

      Example H1 title: Vehicles

      Images are specific brand logo with H2 being wrapped to pull the img alt: "Ford Vehicles" "Checvy vehicles" etc.

      The wrap would look something like this:

      I appreciate your time, Chris

        Hi there.

        Why are you willing to add h2 tags? I its on seo purposes, add them as a REAL HEADING. Not has images.

        My way of analyzing these kind of questions is asking how would Google interpret that action. I don't find any logical explanation to put an image in a heading tag.

        Personally, I will not do that. But, someone might have it done and can offer a positive effect.

        Best luck.

        GR.

          The idea, and I've read elsewhere that Google reads it, is to pass the img alt as the H2 text. Since we don't have a lot of text on the top of our page the only other option is to have the H2 tags at the bottom of the page where we offer some insightful text about the page.
