Questions people ask
Why do headings matter for SEO?+
Headings split a page into sections. Google and AI assistants use them to understand what each part answers, which helps a page appear for more questions.
Is skipping a heading level bad?+
It will not get you penalised, but a clean order (H1, then H2, then H3) is easier for screen readers and for search engines to follow.
How many headings should a page have?+
One H1, then an H2 for each main section. Long pages benefit from H3s under the H2s.
