2) What Is The H1 Tag In SEO

What’s an H1 heading? It’s the HTML code that surrounds a heading, which denotes the heading as the most important one on the page.

Just like the page title element, the H1 heading is used by Google and other search engines to 

understand what the topic of the page is. 

It’s a bit like a chapter heading in a book; it often summarises the content of that chapter. Because of this, it’s a good idea to try and add your main keyword into this heading, if it can be added in naturally.

For example, let’s say I run a fashion website and I want to target the keyword ‘fashion ideas’. I’ve created a page specifically for this keyword, and so I would use the following text within the H1 code which starts with <h1> and ends with </h1> and below are some more examples of what you could put.

<h1> Latest Fashion Ideas </h1>

<h1> Fashion Ideas From Adidas Clothing </h1>

First of all, you need to do your keyword research once you’ve done your keyword research, and if you haven’t done it I’ve done a tonne of videos across the channel that can help you do that for SEO. So once you’ve done your keyword research, you understand the subject or what you’re targeting. You can use your h1 tag to optimise your heading towards your chosen keywords. You need to make sure your primary keyword the one you really want your page to focus on. Is it within the h1 tag on your page in the main heading because it’s a very powerful ranking signal for Google when they look at the content on your page and they see your main heading is covering the subjects that you want to rank for is really important, it’s your main headline and you don’t want to confuse Google and give them multiple major headlines across the page.

Use the h1 tag once use all the other tags below h1 in the hierarchy as many times as you like. Make sure you do your keyword research and really understand which keywords you’d like to target. And when you know that you can use your headlines to put your keywords into your headline in a strategic way. To make sure you rank better on search.
