Heading tags are important on-page SEO factors which help in better search engine rankings. http://cheaphousesnearme.com/

headings are important to help users understand the subject of an article. And if readers use headings to figure out what an article is about, Google will too.

H1 is the title of the page or the blog post, and you should only use it once per article. Other headings can be used multiple times, as long as they follow a hierarchical structure – so you should use H2 before you use H3 within a topic. But you can go back and use H2 again after you’ve used H3.

You can use any number of H2-H6 elements on any one page, but this might be a bit cumbersome for the typical web designer.

So as you can see there are multiple ways to implement these elements. I would recommend that possibly you keep your pages specific about one topic and use:-

One H1 Element (or tag, as many call it)
As many as required H2 elements to denote sections on the page (you should only need one or two or 3 if you are keeping your page concise.
Consider using H3 Elements for useful link groups to other relevant sources but advice (2013) would be to try and keep headings for MAIN CONTENT TEXT content and not to group template navigation, for instance.

H1 tag is the title of your page and describes what your website is all about.
H2 tag is a subheading and should contain similar keywords to your H1 tag.

The h1 tag should contain your targeted keywords, ones that closely relate to the page title and are relevant to your content.
The h2 tag is a subheading and should contain similar keywords to your h1 tag.
The h3 tag is then a subheading for your h2 and so on.
Think of them as a hierarchy based on importance, the above being more important than the below ones.

Keep in mind that it’s also very import that your header tags are readable and grammatically correct. Stuffing your h1, h2 and h3 with keywords is not going to help your cause. If anything, Google will recognize this and assume you are trying to manipulate them. Don't do it!

Use of H1 and H2 Tags are very important from my personal experience. They positively helps in better seo results.


The Heading structure of your website pages is one of the most important features of on-page SEO techniques. It specifies which parts of your website page content are important, and how they are work on search engine.

Let’s clear this with more examples-

1 - H1 text is usually the largest text on the page, and serves as the title for that page’s content.

2.The most essential things of heading on the webpage should be the H1.

3.There is normally only one H1 for Good seo on any page,You should use it in title only with your keywords.

4.Sub-headings should be H2’s, sub-sub-headings should be H3’s, etc. and most importantly try to insert your keywords in these heading for better seo results.

5.Each heading should include valuable keywords, if not, it’s a worthless heading.

Here you can use Heading structure like this..

H1: Page or Blog’s name

H2: Your blog’s or page tagline.Use this in sub-headings. You can use keywords from google suggestions and use them in your H2 to achieve better seo ranking.

H3: It is used for sub-headings or sub-sub heading,where we need to prioritize content according to the context.

H4: related content in the sidebar, like the heading of an “about” widget.

H5: Unrelated headings in your sidebar, footer, etc.

Thanks

H tags are pretty simple you just need to know when and how to use them to make them effective for SEO.

H1 tag would be used containing your targeted keywords. These would be the terms that are most related to the page title and relevant to the page content.

H2 tag is the subheading and should contain similar keywords to your h1 tag. You do not want to use exactly the same keyword you used in your H1 tag.

header 1 text is usually the largest text on the page, and serves as the title for that page’s content.

relevant header 2 text guides visitors to a specific section of web content.
