Does a tag inside H1 affect SEO?

[stepsstones]

We are using a tag inside our H1 tag to display a second line of text, usually for extra information and making the tag appeal like a intro text for the visitor and not just a optimized SEO tag.

Example: https://www.denhollandsche.nl/grafmonumenten/

Does this technique affect SEO? Should we consider removing it?

Hi Martjin,

No it doesn't affect the SEO optimization.

Hope it helps.

Hello,

Why using small, that smaller text inside tags ? You can replace this with a div or span with class "small "for example, and create the same effect with :

.small {font-size: smaller; }

Just to expand on the other comments, the tag is used for styling, (http://www.w3schools.com/TAGs/tag_small.asp)

So the h1 would still apply, it is just styled different to the "standard" h1 style.
