Missing description + Missing or invalid H1
-
So I have more than 1.4K Meta Data Issues that states that there is "Missing Description" together with "Missing or invalid H1" and I have spent so many hours trying to figure this out, still no luck..
The problem seems to be to add a description in a specific tag, for example:
https://www.troyhoffman.com/blog/tag/courage
The platform I use (Squarespace) doesn't allow me to add a description to e specific tag.
Any ideas on how I can fix this problems?

Description is empty and H1 missing. You could add an H1 to Tag in the Template (not sure if possible for squarespace) wich somehow says the name of the tag and to define it more, Articles marked up with <nameoftag>. Or use the Text in Header for your H1. If you cant add descriptions, you cant do anything here. But imho, you dont need to add H1 or MD here.</nameoftag>
All you would achieve is , you will not see the issues again. But I am really not sure if you should index these Tags. It allways depends how much different categories and tags are and how much stuff is in it. How unique and usefull they are. But in most cases it is better to noindex these . They are oftentimes thin (your example to links with image and excerpt) and duplicate (your example, bet thats 100% exists elsewhere - more than one time) content. Maybe you can do that.
These Tags will never rank for any term, so why optimize them? Not worth the work. The question is: is it useful to have them? And: is it useful to have them indexed? Is a Visitor using these pages? Are they needed for anything?
BTW - Some of your Alt-Attributes are toooo long - I mean, they should describe the image and you sometimes did it how it should be. But in some image-alt's are dont know 200 words?

H1 Mystery with Mozpro and Mozbar
Moz's crawler has notified me that the H1s for all the blog posts are missing but Mozbar says the page title is designated as the H1 for each post. In Wordpress, the code to the page title is not accessible in "text." I viewed page source and took a look through the code to find the H1 connected to the page title, but couldn't locate it. Usually, Wordpress themes automatically give the page title an H1 tag. Interested to hear any further insights on this topic...

Source page showsI have 2 h1 tags on my page. I can only find one.
When I grade my page it says I have more than one h1 tag. I view the source page and it shows there are two h1 headings with the same wording. If I delete the one h1 heading I can find, the page source shows I have deleted both of them. I don't know how to get to the other heading to delete it. And I'm off page one of google! Can anybody help? Clay Stephens

HTML5 multiple h1 tags
When I run the On-Page Report Card it tells me that I should remove the multiple instances of H1 tags, even though the website is built using HTML5 and has hierarchical structure where each section / article has its own H1 tag. This approach is completely legal with HTML5 and I'm just wondering what impact does it have on SEO and whether the On-Page Report Card recognises the HTML5 and processes it accordingly.

On Page missing keywords
I setup my keywords on SEOMoz properly but the On Page result just shows me 2 keywords instead of the 7 that I set for my campaign. I was expecting the application to score the other keywords on wednesday but it did not add the missing keywords. Is this a bug?

Missing back links in Open Site Explorer?
I'm looking at the Open Site Explorer for my site, and it shows 9 links to my site, all from 2 domains (showing all links from all pages and for both www and not www version of my domain name). But I know for sure that there are other sites linking to my site. Are they not there because they are not important or because the links have not been crawled yet?
