On-Page SEO Guideline for Heading Tags (H1, H2, H3…)

 

1. H1 Tag – Main Title (Use Only Once)

• Purpose: Represents the main topic of the page.

• Best Practice:

  • Use only one H1 tag per page.

  • Include your primary keyword.

  • Keep it clear and descriptive (avoid being too long).

•  Example:

  html
  
  <h1>Digital Marketing Course in Rewa – Krishna Academy</h1>
  

---

 2. H2 Tags – Subtopics

• Purpose: Divide content into logical sections.

• Best Practice:

  • Use multiple H2 tags for different sections.

  • Include related keywords and semantic variations.

  • Ensure relevance to the H1 topic.

•  Example:

  html
  
  <h2>What You Will Learn in the Course</h2>
  <h2>Benefits of Learning Digital Marketing</h2>
  

---

 3. H3 Tags – Sub-Subtopics

• Purpose: Provide further breakdown under each H2.

• Best Practice:

  • Use H3 tags under appropriate H2 sections.

  • Useful for lists, features, or FAQs.

•  Example:

  html
  
  <h3>SEO Fundamentals</h3>
  <h3>Social Media Marketing Basics</h3>
  

---

 4. H4 to H6 Tags – Deeper Hierarchy (Optional)

• Purpose: For more granular content, like nested FAQs or technical breakdowns.

• Best Practice:

  • Avoid overusing them unless content is complex.

  • Maintain logical hierarchy (don’t skip levels, e.g., H2 → H4 ).
