    Basically there are 6 tags and alt tag. the most important tags are H1 & H2. Make sure that most important keywords should be used in H1 tags(it represent your whole site i.e what your site is all about, used only once in your page), and the less competitive used in H2 tag. It is assumed that search engine reads the tags.

    From my experience you can have more than one h2 and h3, etc but not h1 tags.

    Hello,

    Firstly... YES H tags are VERY important to SEO!
    What you need to do is place the H1 tag at the top of your page for the title of your page which MUST contain the primary keyword or phrase for that page. Then use H2 tags on the rest of the page for subtitles. Again use keywords in your H2 tags and use this subtitles at the start of a new topic or paragraph

    Actually all H tags are important and are used for a specific purpose and it will be a good practice to use all the tags at the appropriate place. You cannot use H1 tags for the keywords until it is the title of the page. The w3school will be a very good resource to have a better insight about this.

    Please remember that H1 tag is the most important. So you can use all the H tags or you can use H1 to H6 Tags. Choose your important keywords for the Tags.

    H tags are important. It is best to use H1 only once per page, but you can use H2, H3, etc several times a page. Don't use 100s of any H tags in one page though if you do need loads of headings in one page consider splitting page into sub pages.

    All you need to do is to use keywords in H1 tags and H2 tags. Usually 1 H1 tag is enough for a page and H2 & H3 tags may vary depending upon the content of the page. The keywords which you use in the tags should be placed as per the priorities. For instance, you should place the high priority keywords in H1 tags.
