Alignment helps users confirm they've reached the right page.

Why this matters

Title and H1 disagree significantly — Google may treat one as the canonical topic and the other as off-topic, weakening ranking.

Title is the SERP headline; H1 is the on-page headline. They should describe the same page. Large divergence (different topics, different keywords) signals confusion and Google may rewrite the title in SERP. Align both to the same primary topic.
