What this check looks at
Optia verifies the page has an <h1> and that it contains your target keyword.
Why it matters
The H1 is the on-page headline — the strongest content-side statement of what the page is about. Search engines weight it heavily when deciding relevance, and readers use it to confirm they landed in the right place.
How to fix it
- Use exactly one
<h1>per page, near the top of the content. - Include the target keyword naturally; the H1 can differ from the title tag but should agree with it.
- Keep it a real headline for humans — descriptive and specific beats clever and vague.
Fix it with Optia: Optia's AI recommendation drafts an H1 that contains your exact keyword and still reads like a headline.
