So, you wanted to learn how to fix h1 heading on Shopify?

Most Shopify themes come with default settings in the liquid code.

Don’t panic! You didn’t screw the code up or anything. It just came like that.

The majority of Shopify themes come with a default code of inserting the H1 Heading on the logo of your home page.

Therefore, most Shopify stores h1 heading on their home page is something along the lines of “site__logo1” by default.

I know. What a pain.

So, how do you know if your Shopify code has an incorrect H1 Heading?

There are two ways to find out.

1) Manually
– Go to your stores home page
– Right click anywhere on the screen
– Click ‘Inspect’

Take this random Shopify website I found on Google as an example:

2) Use woorank.com
– Simply go on woorank.com and enter your Website URL and press “Try it for Free”.
– Once the inspection finishes loading scroll down to the bottom and check how many h1 headings you have and what they are (sometimes when a h1 is a logo, it’ll say you have a h1, but it won’t display any information on what it is).

NOTE: You should only have one h1 heading per page and this should be something extremely close to the focus keyword you are trying to rank your home page for.

Okay, now if you’re h1 headings are all correct, you can exit this page now.
