Is it okay for my H3 Tag to appear above my H2 Tag on the Web Page

[PeteC12]

Hello All,

I am currently doing my H1 ,H2, H3 Tags on my redesigned website

We have the ability to have links to relevant DIY Guides on the bottom of our webpage and these are currently displayed under a heading "DIY Useful Guides" above my on page content which is at the bottom of the page.

My H2 Tag will obviously be the title that sits above my On Page Content at the bottom of the Webpage and I was going to do the H3 Tag for my DIY Guides

Is it a problem if the H3 tag sits above the H2 Tag on the Page or not ?  Or have i got this wrong and I need to move the DIY Guides (links) to below the on page content so the H3 tag sits below the H2 tag?

thanks

Pete

No problem, don't worry about that. Just try to have the H1 with the main keyword phrase and H2 with the secondary if possible. Someone ask Cutts this question a while back and he said Google understands.

The H tags kind of prioritize your pages and tell the engines the relevancy of what is there. There is no harm in their order, it is like a built in ranking system.

I agree with the first two responses.  The most important header tag is the H1 and it would be wise to put that as the very beginning tag with your main keyword in it.

The other tags are important but not as much and the order of the h2 and h3 isn't that important, at least from what I have experienced.

Sincerely,

Garret
