H2 Tag In Product Description

I am building a new CS-Cart store, it has not gone live yet, it has not been indexed yet.

Now is my chance to really tweak the product data for SEO.



Today I wrote and executed a query that appends an h2 tag with the product title into the beginning of the product description like this:

[sql]UPDATE cscart_product_descriptions

SET full_description = CONCAT('

',product,'

', full_description)

WHERE full_description NOT LIKE '

%'[/sql]



Because the default font size for h2 was 30px - larger than the title's h1 tag, and just too big, I had to override the class for the h2 tag in the Visual Editor's Custom CSS to this value:

.ty-wysiwyg-content h2 {
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
}




The title of the product contains my keywords.



My question for the gurus on the SEO forum is this:

Is there any risk to SE indexing in doing this?

I'm hoping there is a benefit, since the title is contained in the h1 tag and now also in an h2 tag - but is it too much?



Thanks in advance for any input or advice you can provide.

I was just looking at this and would love to hear the feedback from some SEO guys myself. You code snip above is just the thing I was thing about. I would like to also add in name variations as parts are searched by so many terms.

I only posted this question 4 days ago. I'm hoping someone with a head full of SEO experience can help us out.



I considered changing the words in the H2 tag, so it's not an exact duplicate of the title - for the same reasons you want to add variations. I suspect it gives me a better chance of being found when the variation is searched at SE, but it has to be a real phrase, and not just keyword spamming the description. It ended up being too difficult with the update query and I've applied it to over 10,000 product records.

OK…but why to go for H2 tag…H1 is enough for search engines and to get ranks…
