    well if you have content on your home page make some heading of 5 to 6 words related to it and include your major keyword in it
    for example you are targeting Pet food the heading may look like


    The Best Pet Food suppliers In the town!

    In this way it will looks natural

    Put it in <h1> HEADING</h1> tag :)

    h1 and bold tags are also too important i have read that google gives more importance to content.

    we use <h1> tags on our webpage's title... it is located on any part inside the <body> tag, but mostly use in the website's header...

    Make sure to add highly relevant keywords in your H1 tag.

    Each page on your site should be focused on a particular keyword phase (or possibly 2 or 3 phrases if they are VERY similar). So if I have a page that I am trying to rank for the keyword phrase "car maintenance" I might want it to target "car maintenance" and "car maintenance tips".

    The most important HTML element from an SEO perspective is the <title> element. It is the most important on-page SEO ranking factor. So my <title> might have the value "Car Maintenance - Car Maintenance Tips".

    The <h1> is the 2nd most important on-page ranking factor. The <h1>, like the <title>, should describe what the page is about. You should have a single <h1> per page. It should, if possible, include one or more of the keywords from the <title> (or some slight variation of the targeted keyword phrase(s)) yet still describe the content of the page. So I <h1> might be have a value something like "Valuable Car Maintenance Tips".

    Notice I included both keyword phrases from the <title> in my <h1>. This <h1> will help me rank for "car maintenance", "car maintenance tips", "valuable car maintenance", "valuable maintenance tips", "valuable car maintenance tips", etc. The key is that it reinforces the keyword phrases being targeted in the <title>. The key is that my <h1> is reinforcing the keywords from my <title>.

    The <h2> is the 3rd most important on-page ranking factor... The <h2> is a sub-header. So on my "car maintenance" page, I might want to divide my tips into summer and winter maintenance tips. So I might add two <h2> elements. Again I would try to reinforce the keyword phrase(s) being targeted by both the <title> and <h1>. For example, I may have <h2>s for "Tips for Maintaining Your Car in Summer" and "Winter Maintenance Tips For Your Car".

    Using "maintaining" instead of "maintenance" in the "summer" <h2> does not help quite as much as having "maintenance" in the <h2> but Google knows through Lexical Semantic Analysis that the two words have the same root and are very closely related. So it will still help me rank for "maintenance" related phrases. I like to use slight variations of the targeted keyword(s) and keyword phrase(s) like this (both singular and plural, different conjugations of verbs, different tenses, etc.) in my headers and content.

    So I might end up with an HTML document that looks like:

    Doing this on every page on your site for different targeted keyword phrases can do a LOT toward helping your rank well.
