Hello there,
Curious if you all have any insight as to which format is easier to crawl from a spider/SEO/Googlebot perspective, putting all the content on a post/page in 1 text box and manually adding headers <h2,h3> or adding separate text boxes for each section using the special header drag and drop. So the intro of a page would have a special header and a text box, the next section would have a special header (H2) and a separate text box, and so on.
When I look at the source code, it creates different divs with schema markup for each header and text box. I assume this is more beneficial from a crawling standpoint?
Thanks!
Hi kjwaggz!
Crawlers rips off container tags to extract meaningful content. Container tags (header, nav, footer, main, aside, section, article etc) are markers indicating the location of the content on the page.
For example, in the crawlers “selective” functioning the relevant content it will be indexing is the special heading and the text content following it and the positioning of said content. The question “how many div tags” in such a context becomes irrelevant.
Cheers!
