Just launched my site and have a few SEO questions
Site is:
http://galacticbrain.com
1. I’d like to add the following Google Plus link to improve SEO. What’s the best way to add it between the <head> tags? Some themes have a special area to add this type of code. How would you recommend I add it?
<link rel=”publisher” href=”https://plus.google.com/example”>
2. I’m using Post template style 11 for my articles on the front page which are all using <h3> tags for article titles listed. Is this good or bad for SEO? Should they actually be <h2> tags instead?
3. If I use Google’s Schema testing tool Google schema test, the only item it picks up is my company organisation. Is this right? Should I be getting more schema detected?
Hi,
1) The head tag can be found in header.php in the main root folder of the theme. I cannot provide any recomendation on hgow to implement the code. It has to be implemented exactly as the instructions for it say. Usually you add the code in between the head tags.
2) The heading title tags are a full on debate. We decided to add them as a h3 so the user can add h1 and h2 tags inside the content itself. They should be what you want them to be. There is no standard on what item should have what tag. You simply need to have the tags present. This however is veeery debatable. Lots of people have different opinions on this. If you want to change the h3 tags to h2 in the theme’s modules and blocks, you can find the code here: http://screencast.com/t/7CBn5Fe4oQc You can read more on title tags here:

You can find many more online resources on this topic so it remains for you to decide if this is the best way to go about it.
3)You need to test a post, not the homepage. Here is an example of what the schema tool picks up on our demo: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool?url#url=http%3A%2F%2Fdemo.tagdiv.com%2Fnewspaper%2Fwordpress-news-magazine-charts-the-most-fashionable-new-york-couples-in-2016%2F
Thank you!
Many thanks Bogdan.
1. I added it to the header.php then. No probs.
2. Ahhhh, a debate! No wonder I was getting mixed messages. Will leave as is then. Thanks for clarifying.
3. Yes. Definitely more on individual pages. Ta.
Is there any way to change h2 h3 by only a few blocks? In my case it would change by h2 h3 only in block 4.
Greetings.
Hello morty,
Unfortunately, if you want to change the H tag, please notice that you can only change on the general way and cannot in particular for some blocks.
Thaks for your understanding!
