      Hey Mozzers,

      I'm wondering if anybody knows of a way that I can stop google reading a certain part of text within my H1 texts?

      My issue is that I have individual office pages on my site, but many offices are based in the same city; such as 'London'. I want to keep London within the H1 tag for user experience but I do not want it to be picked up by the search engines and start a canonical issue.

      I've seen some people say to use document.write or use an image. Does anybody know of a correct way of doing this?

      Many Thanks.

        If you can share the URL to a few example pages, we can probably offer a better idea for you. Generally speaking, if you are trying to hide content from Google you are probably not taking the best approach.
