H1 Tag

[xstitchboutique]

Spoiler

I have done everything suggested here to get a H1 tag in the head section and for it to be recognized....  I am just having no luck.  I run an analyze tool and it still says missing no matter where I put it.  Any suggestions as to what has worked for you?  If anyone?

Same story here

Using an embed code does not put it in the header section where it is supposed to be.  It puts it in the body.  No good

The proper place for an H1 tag is somewhere within the body of the page and not in the header.  Placing it in the header might actually break some of the code of your site and cause it to display improperly.  Generally, the best place to me to put it is at the top of all your content (the first element on the page, in other words), since it's meant to be a heading for content:

Really Adam , do you think this is straight fowarder. It I could understand this easily I would not be using a website builder. It seems to me from what I have read a h1 tag seems really important for seo. If so why not make it easy to do , its no good having a great looking website if no one can find it.

I cant say how frustrating this is

Sorry to hear you're frustrated, . Adding an H1 tag is easier than you might think, even if you don't under HTML code. The following code would work just fine, and you only need to edit the text between the tags:

<h1>
Edit this line of text to say whatever you want
</h1>

You can also try Super Titles available in the App Center from Waddons.  At 99 cents it's worth a try a may be a lot easier for you than mucking around with the html.

I tried it with Waddons, worked for me for 99c.  Just inspect the elements in your existing title first, to know what the font and size you are using in your theme, line height -bottom margin it is set to in your theme, so you keep the same settings and that way your headers look consistent throughout your website

The big question will be whether the h1 will actually be recognized and treated as such by the SEO or not when using Super Titles?

I have the same problem Market Goo dosn't recognise it at all.

Also the theme and fonts don't match my page theme and I can't change it at all.

HI everyone, I know this is an old thread, but I had this problem today and countered it with one line of code. You can do this on any Weebly page.

Here are the steps I followed:

1. In the builder section, I added an "embed code" part to the top of my site. I put it inside the banner image section.
2. I 'edited' the custom HTML and put this code in: <h1 style="text-align:left;font-size:28px;color:red;font-family:arial;line-height:20px;">
3. Then I just tweaked the font size, colour, line height etc until it looked how I wanted it to. I found the name of the title font in the theme and placed that instead of Arial, and it worked fine.
4. Published the site, and now I have an H1 that gets picked up.

I hope that works for you as well!

Cheers
