Check My WebsiteWhat is Poor Content Hierarchy?
A clear heading hierarchy (H1 for the main topic, H2s for major sections, H3s for subsections) helps both readers scan content and search engines understand how a page is organized. Pages that skip heading levels, use headings inconsistently, or bury key sections without headings at all are harder to parse and can rank worse for subtopic queries.
Why Fixing This Helps
- ✓Improve readability and scannability for visitors
- ✓Help search engines understand and potentially feature specific sections
- ✓Increase the chance of ranking for subtopic and long-tail queries within the page

Frequently Asked Questions
How many heading levels should a page use?
Typically H1 through H3 is enough for most pages - the key is consistency, not depth.
Can a page have multiple H1s?
It's best practice to use a single H1 per page that clearly states the main topic, with H2s and H3s organizing everything beneath it.
