H1 tag has been inserted, but scanning shows it is empty

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, 

We recently built a website on SS and have been using a third party scanning extension to Chrome that helps optimize SEO. I got each page of the site to scan successfully, meaning the third party extension noted that all H1 tags were present. Coming back to the site today, the scanner is showing that the H1 tags on the Home and Menu pages are empty, although they are clearly there. 

I have changed the overall formatting of the H1 copy, so that it's smaller, since we want our logo to do the talking. Not sure if that could be an issue, or if stretching the copy to fit the text box (still using H1 text) is possibly a reason. 

Any thoughts?

Did you check your site source code and see if the H1 still there?

Hi @Orosoko - did you use SEOSpace btw? Feel free to send your site here and I'm happy to take a look at the H1.

Thanks for responding. I was away for a week on vacation. Yes, I am using SEOSpace. The website is www.orosoko.com.

Hi @Orosoko. Not to worry, Google states a site will “rank perfectly fine” with zero or multiple H1s:
