H tags and Topics

[seoanalytics]

Hello,

When google is looking for topics does it combine all the H tags or does it look at H tag after H  tag

For example let's imagine I have an H2 and under that H2 I have 5 H3.

To find the topic(s) of my page does it look at each H3 separtly and says H3 number 1 has this topic, h3 number 2 has this topic and so on or does it take all the content within the 5 H3 to find the topic of the H2 ?

Thank you,

Hi seoanalytics.

The h1 tag is one of the most important among the more than 200 SEO factors , as it helps Google understand what is the highlight of your article . It must be unique for each article or page. The h1 must contain keywords (keywords in English) that help position the article taking into account what people are looking for. The titles you choose for your posts are actually the h1.

The h2 are the subtitles . They are perfect to separate content and give a little more information to Google. They should contain synonyms or words related to the main theme of the post. They can also be used as an introduction. This is what I do in all my posts and it works very well.

The h3 are subtitles within h2. They are added the same as the h2 and should focus on the content of the subtitle. The content of the h3 must contain related keywords that help position. Next I show an example :

• How to be an SEO expert (h1)

• Necessary knowledge (h2)

  • Paragraphs
  • Programming (h3)
    • Paragraphs
  • Marketing Digital (h3)
    • Paragraphs
  • Social networks (h3)
    • Paragraphs

• Courses (h2)

  • Paragraphs

• Experiences (h2)

  • Paragraphs
  • In companies (h3)
    • Paragraphs
  • Personal projects (h3)
    • Paragraphs

• Conclusions (h2)

• Paragraphs

Another example. Here is where I live:

Earth

Europe

Spain

Community Of Madrid

Madrid

Puente de Vallecas

I would recommend that possibly you keep your pages specific about one topic and use:

• One h1 Element
• As many as required h2 elements to denote sections on the page (1-3 h2 elements).
• Consider using h3 Elements for useful link groups to other relevant sources but advice would be to try and keep headings for main context text content and not to group template navigation, for instance.

I hope I've helped.

Thank you for detailed reply.

I noticed that your H2 tags do answer peoples questions.

How about if for the keyword you target people don't have questions (what I mean by that is that in the keyword tool) all there is are synonyms of my targeted keyword.

For example in the keyword tool if I type hiking tour Tuscany I will find synonyms and nothing else

Hiking vacations tuscany

Hiking holidays tuscany

Hiking trip tuscany

But no questions like you would find on other keywords such as title tag where people ask :

what is the optimal length of a title tag

what is the definition of a title tag

etc...

So how do you answer people's questions when they don't have any

Thanks,

Hi seoanalytics. It's not necessary that your H2 tags respond to people's questions.

H2 is for subheadings of that H1. Use it to divide content into scannable blocks; both Google and your visitor will like it. H3 is for subheadings of that H2, preferably. Sometimes I use H3 for blocks that should be H2, but just don’t hold that much information for the visitor.

H2 tags make you think about the structure and page layout of your blog. An 800-word blog may seem like a good idea. And, in fact, Google loves a page with a lot of information and depth. But you should help your audience out and give them lots of subheadings to make reading easier.

Think of H2 tags as tiny table of contents pieces, showing your readers where to go and what they can expect to find in the given sections of your blog. What’s more, H2 tags must be optimized accordingly with your keyword phrases of choice, since they help SERP crawler bots interpret your pages and rank them accordingly.
