How do you manage heading hierarchy for SEO

Heading hierarchy helps both search engines and visitors understand the structure and meaning of your content. Using correct heading levels (H1, H2, H3) not only improves readability but also strengthens your SEO ranking by making it easier for Google to interpret your page layout. WEMASY Website Builder allows you to manage headings visually, ensuring your content remains well-organized and optimized.

Step 1. Open your page

Log in to your WEMASY Dashboard, open your website project, and launch the page you want to edit. Once the page opens in the visual editor, locate the heading blocks (H1, H2, H3) from the left sidebar. These represent the three main levels of content hierarchy that you’ll use throughout your design.

Step 2. Use headings in the correct order

Follow a logical order when applying heading levels:

• H1 → Used for the main page title (only one per page).

• H2 → Used for main sections or key topics under H1.

• H3 → Used for subtopics or detailed points under each H2.

Each level should represent a smaller, more specific part of the content to maintain a clear structure.

Step 3. Maintain consistency

Avoid skipping heading levels — for example, don’t jump from H1 directly to H3. Maintaining a logical order helps both visitors and search engines understand your page’s flow.

Step 4. Add keywords naturally

Whenever possible, include relevant keywords in your headings to improve SEO.

For example:

Instead of “Our Services,” use “Website Design and SEO Services.”

Step 5. Review your heading structure

Before publishing, preview your page and check the content outline to make sure the headings are consistent and properly ordered.

Tip

Think of your page like a book:

• H1 = The book title

• H2 = Chapter titles

• H3 = Subsections within each chapter

Maintaining this structure makes your content easier to scan and helps search engines understand which information is most important.
