Logo NOT en empty strong tag

Dear Support,

i cant understand, why Enfold go at all this way. What is the sence to give a logo an h1- tag or strong tag? Only user should determine, what is an h-tag and what is italic and what is strong. For SEO: h1-to h3 tags and strong tags are important factors to show google “oh, this is heavy weighted”. The same on footer with widget title: if user define contact or adress –> it’s h3 tag. But this is not good for SEO. What should think google algorithm about that? Is adress and contact also a weighted keyword?
You give all users the same useless seo-way on the one hand or the other way to manipulate php-code by hand. Is see so often “ok, manipulate this manually in css or php” Is this your solution for basics and your customer relationship? And after update, you must update code also. For 9 installations of enfold: Funny and extra work. No, i dont work with child themes.
Many users ask this at your forum, also here and in google, kriesi is on the 1st and 2nd place for search results for phrase “strong tag logo”. Yes, this is really strong. It seems, it’s an own Kriesi way. On the third place is W3-School: “The strong tag is a phrase tag. It defines important text.”

Same for Heading: Some meanings about that from another sources:

The reasons you usually shouldn’t wrap your logo in an H1 tag are:

Search engines are the crawlers that matter most. Their interpretation can be considered a “best practice.” According to Matt Cutts, who is the man when it comes to Google search, too many H1s or bunched up H1s dilute your search and cause the Google crawler to think you’re spamming it.

And what does Kriesi? Kriesi gives all users his own way to the hand. The first H1-Tag is the entry title. Why? And now? I want to define my own h1-tag, ONE UNIQUE H1-Tag per page with my SEO-keywords and not one word as entry title and not before my definition of the h1 Tag. All of your users have the same funny stuff inside. At least: two h1 headings. “Nice and very good” for SEO, if you interpret Matts Cutts words.

You can check this by yourself. There are enough good free scanners to get a fast overview, what happens with your theme.

Empty tags are present on the site.
If you have defined entry title as first h1-tag
The H1 heading consists of only one word. There should be more information given.
The H1 heading is too short. (19 characters) It should be at least 20 Characters long.

The search engines uses the heading tags for the keywords, but excessive use of heading tags can be flagged as SPAM. For best practice try not to use more than 30 heading tags in the webpage

Ok, i have defined 29 headings. But from which source comes the other? Ohh. 1 from entry title – one word (really good for seo) and 4 from footer like “menu, contact, email, last post”

And this are reasons, why Enfold gives an visible impact in SEO to his users. Same with your Backlink in footer, which i must also manipulate per hand. User should determine, in which direction is the link-juice, not Kriesi.

Cheers

If I may leave a suggestion, why don’t you let the user choose? Insert an option into the Theme Settings, so user can choose product grid/slider tag, logo tag, title tag, etc… THAT would be awesome! And I guess it’s quite simple to do, isn’t it?

to get it into admin area is easy – i have to look where the strong comes from – than i can insert it via id : custom-logo-tag

add_filter('avf_option_page_data_init', 'custom_logo_tag', 10, 1);
function custom_logo_tag($avia_elements){
	$new_elements[] =	array(
					"slug"	=> "avia",
					"name" 	=> __("Tag for Logo-Container", 'avia_framework' ),
					"desc" 	=> __("Select tag type for logo-container", 'avia_framework' ),
					"id" 	=> "custom_logo_tag",
					"type" 	=> "select",
					"std" 	=> "span",
					"subtype" => array("H1"=>'h1',"H2"=>'h2', "div"=>'div', "span"=>'span', )); 

	$avia_elements = array_merge( $avia_elements, $new_elements );
  return $avia_elements;
}

Hi is actually the strong Tag replaced by a span?
