Why is my site is missing H1 titles

Technical Q&A

I can’t understand why my Shopify site seems not to have any H1 tags. All products and most pages seem to be missing them.

I am using Blockshop theme. Is this normal, and if not, what can I do about it?

Hey @Marialucia ,

You’re absolutely right to be concerned about missing H1 tags, these are important for SEO and page structure. While it’s not uncommon for the Blockshop theme to have the homepage H1 tag assigned to the logo (especially if it’s an image), it can sometimes lead SEO tools to report that there’s no H1 present.

For product and collection pages, Shopify typically wraps the title in an H1 tag. If you’re not seeing this on your store, it might be due to theme settings or past customizations.

Here’s what we recommend:

  • Homepage: You can use the theme editor to add a Rich Text section and set the heading as H1. Alternatively, we can adjust the header.liquid code to move the H1 from the logo to a more SEO-relevant section.

  • Product/Collection Pages: We can review your templates to ensure product or collection titles are correctly wrapped in

    tags.

If you’d like, we can help investigate and make these changes for you. Just share your collaborator code with us via DM or email, and we’ll send over an access request to get started.

Let me know how you’d like to proceed!

@Marialucia - by editing code it is possible to have h1 tag on your website

Hi @Marialucia

By default, the Shopify theme retains original H1 titles after you first launch the store. If this issue persists, you can further check whether it is caused by other APPs you installed previously, as some APPs will insert their codes and replace the original ones. When you uninstall them, the codes inserted by them will not work anymore. It will result in the H1 missing issue.

If you still fail to resolve this issue after double-checking, please also consider manually adding H1 codes in your theme.liquid file between and code scripts. Here I share one H1 code for the homepage below for your reference:

{% if template.name =='index' %}
# {{shop.name}}
{% endif %}

You can also reply to me here if you need more details about how to add the missing H1 codes, I’m happy to assist here, thanks.
