Header Tags
Heading tags are used on websites to isolated sections of content and establish visual hierarchies. They go in the order of track 1 (H1), from channel 2 (H2) to track 6 (H6). These types of tags don’t appear in SERPs, but they are essential in calculating your page’s ranking.
In the past, it was optional that each page only has one H1 tag (as with titles). Though, this no longer the case if you use HTML5. This latest version of the markup language removes some limitations and gives search engines much more contextual information they can trust.
HTML5 allows you to create multiple H1s per page by adding article tags. You can now divide a page into various “articles”, each with a unique title tag that tells search engines that these sections can treated as separate.
How Important Are Heading Tags for SEO?
Heading tags continue to play an important role in structuring content for usability and SEO. The change above to H1 tags using HTML5 also means that you will have less worry about your on-page SEO audit. It is important to remember that heading tags should organize content to make sense to the reader. If your visitors can easily scan your content and understand what your titles are about, a search engine can likely do the same. Finally, should be noted that a good structuring of your content can also help reduce the bounce rate, as this will contribute to a better user experience. This does not directly affect your SEO, but it is always a good advantage.
