Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you @Tom-Capper and @pau4ner, this is really helpful. I guess it used to have an impact on SEO but things have changed and they're no longer as important as they were.

Will skipping <H> tags on a page have any impact on your SEO, e.g. skipping a <H2> so your page has a <H1> and then goes to a <H3>?

Obviously a page must have a <H1>, but does it matter if you skip other headings?

Hi @gpainter,

Thanks for your help. I can't see anything specific in that link that says you can't have two sitemaps in one robots.txt. Where it mentions the sitemap it does say "You can specify multiple sitemap fields", although I'm not sure whether this means having multiple sitemap URLs under one mention of 'sitemap'?

I have two websites that are hosted in the same CMS. Rather than having two separate robots.txt files (one for each domain), my web agency has created one which lists the sitemaps for both websites, like this:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

Sitemap: https://www.siteA.org/sitemap
Sitemap: https://www.siteB.com/sitemap

Is this ok? I thought you needed one robots.txt per website which provides the URL for the sitemap. Will having both sitemap URLs listed in one robots.txt confuse the search engines?

@5tw What other factors might have an impact? Content on some of the pages will be updated but only to make things clearer and improve SEO.

I need to restructure a section of my website, changing some page titles and moving some pages to other sections. This will then change the URLs but the CMS I use will automatically create 301 redirects so the old URLs still work.

The question is, will this have any negative impacts on page authority/page rank? From what I've read, it seems having 301's used to have a negative impact but doesn't anymore?
