H1 Heading Tag

Use a clear primary H1 to communicate the document’s central topic to readers and search engines. A single main H1 is a useful editorial convention. Using H1 indiscriminately for logos or sidebar headings can make the document hierarchy harder to follow, although multiple H1 elements do not automatically cause a ranking penalty. Include the target keyword naturally. Unlike a title tag written partly to attract clicks, the H1 should accurately and clearly summarize the page’s content.
