Headings tell users and search engines what your content is about. Use keywords in your headings to improve your search engine optimization.

Heading One is your largest heading and most important heading. Use Heading One as your first heading for the page; typically you only want to use Heading One once per page or section. Headings Two through Six are subheadings. They help break up your page for easier reading, establish a visual logic for your content, and style your page.
