The more descriptive the H1 tag, the easier it is for Google to understand the content on-page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It Forms The First Impression For The Visitors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The H1 tag is typically the first visible element of a page for any visitor and forms the first impression, however there are some best practices for implementing a H1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use one H1 tag per page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be sure your target keyword is referenced in the H1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>H1 doesn&#8217;t not have to repeat the title tag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure that each page you want to rank on Google has a designated H1 (AND it is different to the other pages on your website) <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is it safe to have multiple H1 tags on a page?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it is &#8216;safe&#8217; to have multiple H1 tags on a page &#8211; it is always best practice to have one designated H1 tag per page for consistency in structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What&#8217;s the difference between the H1 tag and title tag?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The H1 tag and title tag are often used interchangeably. However, while both are headings, they differ based on where they appear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The title tag appears on the SERP (search engine results page) at the top of the web browser. However, when a user clicks through to a page, it is not visible. The H1 tag, is the title that appears on the page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How long should the H1 tag be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s no limit for how long a H1 should be. So it can be as long as required, as long as it&#8217;s referencing the primary keyword for the page and looks visually appealing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":""},"class_list":["post-24882","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalnomadshq.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/24882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalnomadshq.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalnomadshq.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalnomadshq.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
