Change h2 header (country/region and article add to cart) for span in Dawn theme

Topic summary

Goal: replace non-SEO-critical H2 headings in the Dawn theme (country/region selector and “Article ajouté au panier”) with span to improve SEO, after already changing newsletter/footer headings.

Guidance provided (file and selector to locate each H2):

  • Country/Region label: header-drawer.liquid → id “HeaderCountryMobileLabel”.
  • Cart notification heading (“Article ajoutĂ© au panier”): cart-notification.liquid → class “cart-notification__heading caption-large text-body”.
  • Image banner heading (“MobileGear® : Élevez votre jeu”): image-banner.liquid → class “rich-text__heading rte inline-richtext”.

Context: H2 (heading level) impacts semantic structure for SEO; span is an inline, non-semantic element often used when the text shouldn’t count as a structural heading. Dawn is Shopify’s default theme.

Latest development: another participant asked where to change the “language heading” in Dawn, sharing a screenshot, but no instructions were provided for that specific item.

Status: actionable pointers to the relevant files/selectors were given; the original poster hasn’t confirmed the changes worked. The new “language heading” question remains unanswered/ongoing.
