Why it matters
SEO and GEO impact
The H1 anchors page hierarchy and reinforces search intent. Missing or duplicated H1s create weak topical signals and reduce content clarity.
Common symptoms
- Design uses generic divs or spans instead of a semantic H1.
- Homepage hero copy exists visually but not as an H1 tag.
- Multiple template blocks inject more than one H1 per page.
How to fix it
- Use exactly one descriptive H1 on each page.
- Match the H1 to the page's main intent without stuffing keywords.
- Keep supporting sections under H2 and H3 to preserve hierarchy.
