What text tag should your footer use in Showit

Quick answer

Footer text in Showit should use P tags. Footer content is supporting information — not headings — so paragraph tags are the right choice.

How to fix it in Showit

1. Open your site in Showit and navigate to your footer

2. Click on each text element in the footer

3. Open the right-hand sidebar

4. Go to Text Properties

5. Find the Text Tag setting

6. Set it to P for all footer text — this includes copyright text, contact details, small descriptions, and legal text

7. Publish your changes in Showit

What's the issue

In Showit, every text element has a Text Tag assigned to it. Footer content — things like copyright text, contact details, small descriptions, and legal text — should all use the P tag. If footer text is accidentally tagged as H2 or H3, it can pollute your heading structure and confuse search engines about the content of your page.

Why it matters

• Your heading structure (H1, H2, H3) should only include meaningful content that describes the page. Footer text is supporting information — it doesn't describe the page topic, so it shouldn't be tagged as a heading. Using P tags for footer content keeps your heading structure clean and ensures Google and AI bots are only reading meaningful headings when they analyse your page.

What good looks like

All footer text elements are set to P. Examples of footer content that should use P tags: copyright notices, contact email or phone, studio address, small footer descriptions, and links to privacy policy or terms.
