Heading Structure

Technical Definition

Heading structure refers to the hierarchical use of H1-H6 tags to organize content. Proper structure: H1 for main topic, H2 for main sections, H3 for subsections, etc. Benefits: accessibility (screen readers), SEO (content organization signals), user experience (scannable content). Don't skip levels or use headings just for styling.

Simple Explanation (ELI13)

Heading structure is how you organize your page with H1, H2, H3 tags, like an outline. H1 is the main title, H2s are major sections, H3s are sub-points within those sections. Good heading structure helps both Google and visitors understand how your content is organized. Don't use headings just to make text bigger.
