Header tags are a set of HTML elements used to define headings and subheadings in a webpage. There are six different header tags: H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6. These tags provide structure and help improve the readability of your content.
Benefits of header tags:
- Provide content structure
- Improve accessibility
- Break up blocks of text
- Help users skim through content quickly
Adding header tags:
- Use your CMS to add headers visually
- For HTML, use the following code format: <h1>Your Header Text</h1>, replacing the number with the desired heading level (e.g., <h2>, <h3>, etc.)
Important tips for implementing header tags:
- Keep headers concise (10-70 characters)
- Include keywords in H1 (primary) and H2 (secondary/LSI) tags
- Avoid keyword stuffing
- Use only one H1 tag per page
- Maintain consistency in header styles and formatting
- Don’t skip header levels; respect hierarchy
- Make headers compelling using action verbs, numbers, or questions
- Optimise for Featured Snippets by answering questions directly, using structured data markup, and keeping content fresh
