Reading about H1 use for SEO would it be appropriate to use on any page; such as main.php, footer.php, header.php, cities.php, etc.? My site is http://www.bookbarista.com Would placing H1 at the tops of those pages or any others be recommended for better SEO? Thanks for the knowledge!
Think of it like this: for a moment forget about SEO and just look at your page. Is there a short phrase or sentence that would look very appropriate right at the top of the page to give an overall indicator of the main content of that page? If the answer is "Yes," make that your H1.
I think H1 tag is one of the important tag for your websites which states "Welcome Message" of your brand or keywords which reflect the users as well as SERP. So concentrate on H1 tag so to make attractive amongst new users.
You should focus H1 with H2 tag for a better ranking. Because when we audit our website from any tools it also show errors when we don;t use H2 tag.
I think that the key is not to overdo the H1. You may want to have one or "maybe" two but then have H2's and H3's after that.
Just to add that he should do this 1 or MAX 2 times per page! For keywords, he should also use H2 (use CSS to change the style if you don't like the font size!)
Patco, that is an interesting point about changing the style. I ran into some CSS issues the other day as I was redesigning my blog. My H2's looked the same size as regular font. Does Google read by the tag or the size?
H1 tag is one of the most important and valuable tag for your websites which states "Welcome Message" of your brand . But H2 & H3 same importance for your website .And concentrate on H1 tag so to make attractive amongst new users.
Heading tags are very useful for SEO and H1 is the most important heading tag because it improves your search engine ranking.
