Proper Use of H1 Tags | SEO GEO Checker

Problem

The H1 tag is the main heading of a page, telling search engines and users the core topic. Each page should have exactly one H1 tag.

Best Practices

1. Use only one H1 per page 2. H1 should contain the primary keyword 3. H1 should be the most prominent heading 4. H1 content should relate to but differ from the title tag 5. Maintain heading hierarchy: H1 > H2 > H3

Example: <h1>Complete SEO Guide: From Beginner to Expert</h1> <h2>Chapter 1: Keyword Research</h2> <h3>1.1 How to Choose Target Keywords</h3> <h2>Chapter 2: On-Page Optimization</h2>

Common Mistakes

- Page has no H1 tag - Multiple H1 tags used - H1 used for decorative text instead of content heading - Skipping heading levels (H1 directly to H3)
