    The <h1> to <h6> tags are used to define HTML headings.

    <h1> defines the largest heading and <h6> defines the smallest heading.

    Hi

    Header tags or H1 should be used to ensure high ranking. There is no evidence to prove this. However, this is one of the most common myths.

    Although there is no "sure-fire" way to get to the top of search engine results, h1 is an important way to improve your chances. This will not guarantee you top placement, but in combination with many other search engine optimization factors, it will be very helpful.

    H1 short for "heading one" is the first (and the largest) heading that will be displayed on your website page. Each page contains a separate h1 tag (duh..). From SEO point of view it is best practice to use your most important keyword in the H1 tag (warning! never use multiple h1 tags on a same page). It is also best practice to make your start of title and your H1 tag same. Hope this helps..

    What is a H1 Tag?
    In a page different header tags may be used to describe a heading. These header tags are H1 , H2 upto H6.
    H1 tag is considered as the most important heading of the content and shows the largest font size be default.
    Importance in SEO
    Google also understands the importance of H1 tag.
    If you have an important keyword in your H1 tag ( means in your primary heading ) you get an advantage over your competitor who has the same keyword in H2 tag or simply in the text. (However it is not the only important thing in SEO, there are other aspects also in which your competetor may beat you.
    How to use it?
    Since everything cant be written in heading, the H1 tag must be used very carefully. It is an art to write a visitor attractive as well as keyword targeting heading. You must include only the most important keywords (and preferably start it with that keyword) in H1 to ensure higer SERPs for those keywords.
    Example
    A: How to easily get a Car loan at cheap rates without getting scammed.
    B: Cheap Car Loans - How to get one easily without getting scammed.

    Surely B is better than A if you want to target that keyword for SEO

    Try typing out keywords with the <h1> tag, I've heard it improves SEO. (Though I've not really tested it)

    Ridiculous example.

    Using H1 tags in the body.
    Best practice is to use H1 tag once and that too for your Page Title.
    H2-H6 must be used in the body content.

    Google ranking algorithm dictates that if you're using a <h1> tag, then the text in between this tag must be more important than the content on the rest of the page. Here's a quick example:

    <h1>Google sees this text as more important</h1>
    <p>... than this text</p>

    By default, H1 tags aren't the prettiest in terms of formatting, so using a CSS style to override the default look is usually a good idea.
