A short excerpt from the article:

“Header tags are one of the most fundamental elements of a well-structured blog post. They guide readers through your content, improve accessibility, and help search engines understand your content’s structure.

These tags indicate the hierarchy of your content, helping both readers and search engine robots understand how your ideas are organized.

H Tag hierarchy

H1: The post or page title
H2: Main sections (this section of this very blog post uses an H2 header tag!)
H3: Subsections under H2
H4: Additional details under H3
Properly formatted headings dramatically improve the readability and scannability of your site as well, as they break up large sections of text.

How many H1s should you have?

One. A blog post or page should have exactly one h1 tag, which serves as the main title of the page.

Using multiple h1 tags can confuse search engines about what the post or page is actually about and negatively impact your SEO.

A good H1 should:
Be clear and descriptive, reflecting the search intent.
Contain your primary keyword.
Be unique to each post or page on your site.”
