[Tutorial Feedback]

Hello,

I'm an accessibility consultant for retail websites.
When I review headings, suggesting a new meaningful and hierarchically
correct structure as per Wai guidelines, I often add few visually hidden
headings (where not considered by design).

Each time I find me arguing with the SEO consultant, who thinks that adding
visually hidden headings "can be considered as cloacking, going against
Google guidelines about hidden text.", and who think that adding headings
in the footer "is not SEO relevant and going against Heading Tag best
practices."

I believe it isn't but I cannot find a clear and eminent source saying
that. I found only this one:
https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-using-hidden-text-for-screen-readers-will-not-hurt-rankings/294605/#close

Any suggestion that could stop the arguing forever? ;)

Thanks

Simona
