: Does hyphenation/syllabication hurt SEO? I have a header with a long keyword in it, which is ”pre-wrapped” per the designer's wish. Like so: <h1>Prewrapped super- ficial header</h1>

I have a header with a long keyword in it, which is ”pre-wrapped” per the designer's wish. Like so:

<h1>Prewrapped super-
ficial header</h1>


The css:

h1 {
white-space: pre-wrap;
}


Now suppose superficial was an important keyword. Will Google index it correctly, despite it being hyphenated and wrapped?

It shouldn't cause any issues at all. Google is well versed in synonyms and can tell when one word should mean another. As a quick test using Google I did a search for Super-ficial and the results returned where for superficial. Should be all good.
