Do you use heading tags where appropriate (H1, H2, H3...)?
Last updated by Seth Daily [SSW] over 1 year ago.See historyYou should understand the hierarchy and try to use the heading tags (<H1>, <H2> or <H3>...) for titles and subtitles.
You should only use one H1 tag on a page. Search engines weight this heavily and can get confused by multiple main headings.
The following are benefits of using heading tags:
- Improves the ranking with the search engines (extra weighting is given to text in H1 and H2)
- Makes cleaner and leaner HTML
Note: It's also important to customize these headings via CSS, making the font bigger, bold or in a different color. This way page looks nice and organized.
