Currently on each item page the "Title" tag and H1 tag are the same, the title/description of the product and I have no H2 tag within descriptions. seems to work OK, but after some reading on the subject I wonder if I could do better.

Would it be a better idea to use different and complimentary keywords in the "Title" and H1 tags rather than them being the same?

Would including an H2 tag as the first line or two of the description i.e a summary and use the rest of the description for the longer more in-depth details be worth doing?

Use a logical page structure.

The title tag should describe the page contents.

The H1 should introduce the page contents.

The H2, H3 etc should be used to break up the contents of the page.

If you view the page without the style sheet, the contents should still make logical sense.

So it's back to the old adage, build your site for people not the search engines.
