What's the issue

FastaSEO found an H1 on this page that is 3 characters or fewer. That could be a single word, a symbol, or an empty heading that was accidentally left in. Either way, it's not giving Google or AI bots a clear signal about what the page covers.

Why it matters

• Your H1 is one of the strongest SEO signals on the page. It tells Google and AI bots exactly what the page is about. A heading that is too short — a single word, a symbol, or just empty — gives search engines nothing to go on. It also creates a poor experience for visitors who land on the page and can't immediately tell what they're looking at. A strong, descriptive H1 is one of the quickest wins you can make for your SEO.

What good looks like

At least 2 descriptive words that clearly explain what the page is about and who it's for. For example: "Brand Photographer Melbourne" or "Wedding Florist Sydney". Avoid: "Welcome", "Hello", or a single word like "Photography".
