When entering content into a website, it is imperative that content be organized, easily understandable and well displayed.
This is most often and easiest to accomplish using the H1, H2 etc. tags.
What are they?
‘H’ tags are used to promote and organize content. They are very helpful in content as they provide the user with text that stands out as title information for a webpage.
Think of ‘H’ tags as a way to outline webpage content.
When to use:
- H1 tags are used as a Heading. Each webpage should have only 1 heading.
- H2 tags are used as sub headings. A webpage may have more then 1 sub heading
- H3 etc. tags are used as identifying headings. A webpage may have more then 1 identifying heading.
Interesting to note is that while you should leave H1, H2 and H3 tags formatted as they have been designed, H4, H5 and H6 can be customized to provide different font style and sizes. This will add to the appearance of text custom formatted with these ‘H’ Tags.
Providing properly formatted content by employing H tags will not only benefit your users but your website as well.
It will give it a clean, professional look and feel and your visitors will thank you.

H Tags are very important. It is amazing to see alot of the Realtor/webmasters out there that dont use them. I use them on every page. Helps keep everything organized.
Mike,

Organization is very important not only for the optimization of a website, but more importantly for visitors convenience and ease of navigation.
Thanks for the comment and happy holidays.
