Heading Tag (H1 to H5) are so impotent to get seo signal for better organic SERP positions.

About 617,000 results (0.55 seconds) And I bet the first 10 results give better answers than you will get here.

@ZorgMay 11.2017 — Header tags:
[LIST]
  • [*] H1 is used on a page as the main content heading or title - usually the most important heading. Their should typically only be one H1 tag per page.

  • [*] H2 - H6 are the less important, but still relevant titles or headings of content on a page. These can be multiple and should be used to divide sections of content on a page.

  • [/LIST]


    Search engine bots can tell what is on your page and how is it structured by using the header tags. That's why they are important.

    Common mistake is people use H tags as page styling to make text bigger, which is wrong. Or they use H1 tags for the site logo, also wrong. Think of it like this, keywords are important, your most important keywords should be within header tags. You can have images in H tags, just include an alt tag describing what it is or with keywords, so bots can see it (bots are blind to images).

    @shilparawatMay 12.2017 — Google Crawler crawl H1 Heading tag and gives priority so try to use your prime keyword in H1 tag.

    @raichelsimon3May 12.2017 — Headings are pieces of HTML code that allow you to make certain words stand out on a page. The title of the article is usually bigger and more pronounced than other words. It may be bold, colored, underlined or have some other format quality that makes it stand out. Whatever the case, this allows you to scan a page in a magazine or newspaper and pick out the sections you want to read. An H1 tag is similar. It makes certain words to stand out, which allows readers of your website to see what the page is about immediately, and determine whether or not they want to read it.

    @vinborisMay 12.2017 — if you are providing professional SEO services then, then heading tag is the most important part. Google firstly crawl your website by checking your website h1 tag. Its should be main tags of your company.

    @jedaisoulMay 12.2017 — A number of the replies seem to miss important facts about heading tags and SEO...

  • 1. Headings are intended to provide structure to help intelligibility. I.e. The first priority is human visitors, not search engine bots.


  • 2. Headings must be relevant to the content of the page/section. So talk of using your keywords is potentially misleading. You should not use keywords that are not relevant.


  • However, the good news is that, if you use headings properly, they will almost certainly work for SEO purposes as well.

    Of course keywords which are contained on Headings must be relevant with site content, I totally with you at this point. Thanks!
