Heading structure SEO checklist
Review H1, H2, and H3 structure so readers and search engines can understand the page outline.
Use headings as an outline
Headings should help someone scan the page before reading every paragraph. One clear H1 usually sets the page topic, while H2 sections break the page into useful parts.
- Check for missing H1.
- Avoid repeated H1s unless there is a strong layout reason.
- Use H2s for main sections and H3s for supporting points.
Quick workflow
Paste the heading outline into a checker, look for hierarchy gaps, then compare the outline against the page title and meta description.
Do
- Make headings useful to readers.
- Keep the page promise consistent from title to H1.
- Use subheadings to answer real questions.
Don't
- Do not use headings only for visual size.
- Do not force keywords into every heading.
- Do not skip levels just to style text.
