Microsoft IIS SEO tool claims I have no H1... It's not true.

[Banknotes]

I have 4300 pages that the tool claims are missing the H1 value but they are there.

Here is an example: http://antiquebanknotes.com/rare-currency/first-national-bank-atlanta-illinois-2283.aspx/

Has anyone seen this before?

It clearly has an H1 on the page. Maybe the tool can't handle the fact that the H1 has some extra attributes. I would use any other SEO scraper like ScreamingFrog to see if they're able to find the H1 on the page. Which is probably going to be the case, if so then I wouldn't worry at all about your IIS tool not seeing the H1.

Hi Greg! Does this response help to answer your question or are you looking for more information? If you're good to go, please mark this as answered. Thanks!

HI Martijn,

I used Screaming Frog and it finds the H1.   I tried moving my content around on my page putting the H1 at the very top and the IIS tool found it.  Sadly I can't really do that in production but at least I know what IIS dislikes.

I suspect this is a bug in the IIS tool as it doesn't seem to bother Google.   Its tragedy that the IIS tool seems to be dying on the vine.
