What text tag should your navigation use in Showit

Quick answer

Navigation text in Showit should use the NAV tag. This tells search engines and accessibility tools that the content is part of your site navigation — not a heading or body text.

How to fix it in Showit

1. Open your site in Showit and navigate to your header or navigation area

2. Click on each navigation link text element

3. Open the right-hand sidebar

4. Go to Text Properties

5. Find the Text Tag setting

6. Set it to NAV for all navigation link text

7. Publish your changes in Showit

What's the issue

In Showit, every text element has a Text Tag assigned to it. Your navigation menu links should use the NAV tag. If navigation text is tagged as H2 or P, search engines and accessibility tools may not correctly identify it as navigation — which can affect how your site is understood and indexed.

Why it matters

• The NAV tag is a semantic HTML element that tells browsers, search engines, and screen readers that the content is site navigation. When navigation links are correctly tagged, search engines can better understand your site structure and accessibility tools can help users navigate your site more easily. It also keeps your heading structure clean by ensuring nav links are not mistakenly read as headings.

What good looks like

All navigation menu links are set to NAV in Text Properties. This applies to your main header navigation, any dropdown menus, and footer navigation links.
