2. I'm a bit unclear here - is the "button" the "footer" that seems to be an H2 on the page?

Hey , Robyn, Project Manager at Matogen Digital Robyn the image you shared above is broken for me... but, I am not sure what is happening here, honestly.

Ian Parsons, Head Chef at Matogen Digital Ian – When I started working on the H2 duplicates (I'm not sure if you remember) but I asked for your help as I wasn't seeing the duplicate Lara flagged on this spreadsheet. We looked at the code via inspect and there were these "hidden buttons" that were the duplicate, so I copied the attributed code in inspect and pasted it in the notes column - so I'm really not sure what to suggest or do from this point. Do you have any ideas?

OK let's wait for Ian Parsons, Head Chef at Matogen Digital Ian to take a look and maybe we can get to the bottom of this :) thanks Robyn, Project Manager at Matogen Digital Robyn  
Robyn, Project Manager at Matogen Digital no probs x

Ok, a couple of notes:
  • The issue is that there are multiple pages on the site that are using the same H2 headings. This isn't bad from a user experience, but it seems Google gets confused if this happens. 
    • The labs pages are a good example: they all have H2s like GEMS Services Supported and Current Projects. 
    • My suggestion to solve this: update the H2 title to include the name of the lab, e.g. "Gems Services Supported" becomes "How Chai Lab applies GEMS Services"
  • There is also a hidden H2 in the footer, which is repeated on a couple of pages. For this, we just need to remove that H2, wherever it is.

Ok! Thanks Ian Parsons, Head Chef at Matogen Digital Ian  I can defos update the H2's to be more descriptive and will have a look at the footer and see where the H2's might be coming in – will shout if I get stuck

I believe this should be sorted now, and with David Mundell, Developer  at Matogen Digital David  removing the hidden footer H2, this should be complete. Would we need Lara to run another check to make sure it's all covered? I don't really know if what I've done has resolved everything.
Ian Parsons, Head Chef at Matogen Digital
Laura Hurley, Designer, UX and Engagement Specialist at Matogen Digital Laura I'd be happy to check specific items on the list. Let me know on which ones you're not sure. If there's any uncertainty after that we can pass it back to Lara. 
Ian Parsons, Head Chef at Matogen Digital
Laura Hurley, Designer, UX and Engagement Specialist at Matogen Digital Laura  is it just the duplicate h2s that you're unsure about, or are there other SEO tasks you'd also like me to check?
Laura Hurley, Designer, UX and Engagement Specialist at Matogen Digital
I still have a few SEO tasks to get through. so, at this point, it is only these. Should we hang tight until I'm done with everything and then we check it all together? I still need to check the duplicate H1s and missing H1s.
Ian Parsons, Head Chef at Matogen Digital
Yup, let's do that!
Laura Hurley, Designer, UX and Engagement Specialist at Matogen Digital Sounds good!
