Why H1 Tags Are Not the Same as SEO Titles

A person had a question about whether or not an H1 and the SEO title should be the same thing. They got a variety of answers. One person said not really, but they should both include the target keywords. Someone else said the way they look at it is that the H1 should be similar to the title but not the same. Someone else agreed and said that it would give the original person a chance to target various types of keywords to make them similar but not identical.

A different person disagreed and said that it doesn't matter. They said if the original poster could include some keywords in the H1 that are not in the title, that is also fine. In general, there are no length limits for either one of these elements. One person said there are no definitive rules. If the meta title is the best, use it for the H1. Otherwise, the original poster should set the H1 to be something different in order to retain their keywords. A person said they have not found proof that either way is better. They think that it is just a matter of personal opinion.

Someone else replied to say that they know people who tested it on H1, title and meta title. When they used target keywords, they got a better ranking. They said that the best result came from an H1 with both keywords and a few more words. They added that Google also considers content.

Another person said they make the H1 and title different and include main keywords in both. Someone else added a comment that there is no definitive answer or a hard rule about it. The general consensus is to use keywords in both. Someone else added that the two things serve different purposes, and they should not be the same thing. The title should start with a keyword, but the H1 doesn't have to as long as it has one in it somewhere. A few people agreed with this and said that the H1 is a better modifier for the keywords.
