Our theme’s banner is usually H1, so only add one per template. (Extra banners = extra H1s, which isn’t ideal for SEO.) +- **Product/Collection Pages:** Stick to a single main H1 for SEO, use sub-headings (H2/H3) for detail. +- **Sitemap.xml:** Shopify auto-generates and updates this at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml.
