      Hello,

      Is it ok to talk about multiple topics under an H tag or should I stick to 1 topic per H tag.

      Thank you,

        In general, I would say you should stick to one topic per heading, and utilize sub-headings for sub-topics.

        For instance, a page title of "animals" might be an H1 heading. Beneath that H1, you might speak to different animal classes like "mammals" and "reptiles" under H2 headings. And beneath those H3 headings, you could talk about specific animals under H4 headings.

        Having said that, based on quotes and tweets and Q&A sessions with Google staff and other experts that have floated around over the years, I wouldn't place too much weight on how you structure your headings, just as long as you're making your content as easy as possible for users to consume.

        Here are some helpful articles:

          Hi,

          I and many SEOs still prefer one

          tag per page but you can use it more if it makes sense.

          Thanks

              The more niche, the better results...IMO. If you want to get ranked well on 3 different topics, build 3 different pages.

              You would only want (1) H1 tag per page, and multiple H2-H6 tags per page.
