Anyway I’ve never used a slider before and am wondering how they fare in the context of SEO. I watched your video on sliders and ultimately my goal is to have a full width video background with a transparent caption slide on top of it. I’m not looking to use multiple slides or anything like that. All I want on top of the video is my company logo and the h1 title of the page. Do I really need a slider to do this? Or is there some other way of having a video header with the X-theme?

Googling about sliders and SEO, a common opinion I hear expressed is that sliders don’t do anything for click-through rates and can harm SEO by pushing content down, having too many h1 tags etc. I’m presuming that if I only want one static slide with my h1 title over a video background then that doesn’t apply to me. I guess I’m wondering if what I’m looking to do with the slider is good SEO practice? Or is it more usual to have the h1 title below the slider area?

Thanks for writing in! For the video header, you’ll need to use the revolution slider. You can add SEO information when you add/edit slides to your Revolution Slider gallery – whenever you add a layer to a slide, there’s a place where you can enter text (titles Layer Params, on the bottom left of the Edit Slide screen).

Add the relevant HTML tags (such as alt), and don’t forget to save and publish your work.

Let us know if you need any additional help, we’ll be happy to further assist!

To help you better, can you give us a screenshot of this layer params with your content? Then please do give us admin credentials on private reply so we can check further.

Always,

That area is for layer naming purposes only (used for identifying layers visually), and should be limited to few words only.

Thanks!

Thanks for using X.

Cheers!
