ive tagged h1 and h2 to my header content but it seems that google cant detect my h1 n h2. what am i missing? i really need help on this.
Be sure that you’ve marked the text in the editor element or if its added as a style, adjust the style so its set to the relevant heading tag type:
Should be fine once specified:
Debugged it evulates to the h1 <h1> tag

ive already did that but when i test my seo using few tools, cant detect any header tags. 
Hmm… you have a fair point. Although it can be seen in debugger developer tools, in tests with SEO checkers, they don’t actually get picked up.
I’ve ran some tests, with a text element setup as a H1 (both inline and saved as a style), both H2 and even a custom HTML element:
<h2>tester</h2>
And still nothing getting detected up using these tools:

@Bubble please can you look into this
Cheers

the only way to go around this is to put < h1 >your title< /h1 > in the header html and hide this txt making the colour same as the background and same with h2 in the html element. I think. LOL
yeah thats really not practical and defeats the purpose of the heading settings in the text element - hopefully Bubble can rollout a fix asap.
really hope so. @fayewatson do u have any idea? is it a bug?
i tried to view the html code n there is no < h1 > tagging to appear 
It wont render with the HTML code, but on page load, under the developer console, debugging the elements, you should see it e.g.
Hi @neerja
Please could you look into this issue with the heading tags - upon tests it doesn’t seem to be reading the markup for <h1> or any heading tag for that matter. Thanks.
@bubble This seems like a pretty important bug. In the US, heading tags are a major component if web accessibility standards. In many states, non-accessable sites can result in litigation, especially in certain industries.

I recommend filing a bug report if this is an issue for your apps. The forum is great for discussion, but to get the team to look at the issue, the bug report is always the best route.
Please update the thread when you hear back from the team though. I haven’t tested this myself yet, but if correct I agree it’s an important issue.
I’ve just submitted a bug report outlining the issue and even a demo page so that the team can review. Hopefully this can be rectified as soon as possible.
@petter - sure thing, will update this thread with any updates to the progress or resolution.

I’ve done some further checks guys and there are quite a few issues crawling a Bubble site, I’ve run a few tests on different sites just to double check.
There are definitely issues detecting any heading tags.
There are also issues detecting alt tags on images e.g.
<img src="house.png" **alt**="5 bedroom house new york">
I’ve tested with a static alt tag e.g. just entered and also a dynamic expression.
But to add to this, actual images don’t seem to be detected at all. This is again a test with static and dynamic images.
Please can someone double check this. I’ve used a few online tools along with Screaming Frog.

Hi @luke2,
My guess is that most free SEO heading tag checkers don’t [yet] dynamically render JS, so they simply don’t “see” the Bubble heading tags. This tool, however, does see the H1 tag on my Bubble page.
There is in fact just a single H1 tag on the page. I’d be curious to know if it works for others as well. The page I tested is the same one I checked directly using Google’s search console, as noted here. (It’s dynamically generated using Sudsy Page.)
Google also has a relatively new tool, and these are the results it yields for the same page…
Again, the page I tested is not on a custom domain, and zero effort was put into optimizing.

Interesting. That seems to suggest that whatever Google is using to rank SEO (with that tool anyway) has little to do with heading tags. If you add an H1 tag, does the first tool I mention see it?
I tested using the tool suggested and this does indeed pickup the heading tags and with some detail too:
Unfortunately many of the other tools I’ve used have no found any heading tags or image alt tags as well. I’m still concerned that search engines will be in this position too, when using bots to crawl a site…
