The H1 is an HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) heading tag that indicates the main topic on a web page. When visitors to your website see the H1s, it draws attention as it stands out the most on the page as it generally appears as a larger font size than normal text style and in bold.
What is a good H1 tag?
Your H1 Should Describe the Topic of Your Page
At the most basic level, the H1 should describe what the content is all about. Often, the H1 tag will be similar or the same as your title tag. Usually, the H1 tag will be the title of your blog post or article.
Where is the H1 tag?
Your h1 tag should be at the top of the page content (above any other heading tags in the page code). If your site is divided in to columns the left column may appear “higher” in the code. Be sure it does not contain any h1 tags as most likely the center column contains the main content of the page.
What is an H2 tag?
An H2 tag marks the first sub-heading after your document's main heading. It defines the second-level headings on your webpage. Like an H1 tag, an H2 tag also appears larger than the rest of your main body text.
