Getting Your Heading Structure Right, From H1 Through H6

Headings aren't just visual styling โ€” they're an outline that tells readers and search engines how your content is organized.

One H1, Used Deliberately

Reserve the H1 for the actual title of the page and its primary topic; scattering multiple H1s dilutes the signal.

Nest Subheadings Logically

H2s should represent major sections, with H3s nested underneath the H2 they support, mirroring a proper outline instead of jumping levels.

Write Headings People Would Search

A heading like "Benefits" says far less than "Benefits of Standing Desks for Lower Back Pain" โ€” specificity helps skimmers and search visibility alike.
