    Hi, I am using Semrush, it keeps telling me that I have 34 pages that have duplicate H1 and title tags.

    I need to address this. However, I don't understand how to do this, or why it's happening.

    When I make a new page,

    I put a H2 as the first major heading, Not at the top.
    I put in the title.
    Write the content.
    Publish.
    Can you tell me how these 34 pages have duplicate H1 and title tags and how I can fix that.
    The only advice I can get up to now is to make sure they are different.
    I need to know how to do that.

    This is an example page that has this issue:

    https://www.doncastercarpetcleaners.co.uk/carpet-cleaner-hire-doncaster/

    Thank's
    Paul.

    Hello,

    Greeting from InkThemes,

    Let us know where you are applying this H2 tag and on which page.

    On two places the H1 heading tag is getting applied if you want we can remove that from one of the places.

    Have a look at the attached screenshots below:

    Hi Akbar, Thanks for getting back to me.

    So all I do in wordpress is to start a new page.

    I put the title in the space for it at the top.
    Then I start the content.

    I was told a long time ago not to use H1 as the first heading because wordpress already did this?

    So the first proper heading I write is a H2.

    I have this message from Semrush telling me that I have these duplicate H1 title tags.

    I don't understand what I have done wrong. I don't see a way of changing it.

    I have other sites using the same theme.

    I have to be careful, especially with this site, because I have ranked number 1 for around 5 yeas now. It's why I don't change from the appointway theme. It works well.

    Hi Akbar, thanks for looking at that.
    Can you give me a little more information about it, because this is my main business site, and it is very important to me.

    I wonder why some pages have the H1 tags which look like this:

    <h1><div id="crumbs"><a href="https://www.doncastercarpetcleaners.co.uk">Home</a> &raquo; <span class="current">Doncaster Carpet Cleaners</span></div></h1>

    But some pages look like this:

    <h1>Carpet Cleaning Doncaster</h1>

    While some pages have both types. (see attachment).

    I wonder if google will not see properly what long one is about.

    Anyway, the only thing i am worried about is the seo point of view. I don't want to mess anything up.

    Thanks,
    Paul.

    Hi Akbar,
    All I need is for each page to to only have one H1 .

    Does the page title (as shown on the attachment) automatically make the H1?

    Thanks, I need to get this clear in my mind.

    Hi Akbar,
    I seem to have confused everything, sorry about that.
    I would like the H1 to generate automatically via the Yoast plug in, as normal.

    I have looked at my other sites and it appears that the H1 does show twice, but, since they all rank at the top, I think it better to go back to the original, normal yoast plug in setting.

    The attachment shows a different one of my sites. I would like the https://www.doncastercarpetcleaners.co.uk site to go back to that setting.

    Very sorry for this, Thanks, Paul.
