Search Engine Optimization Tip: Your Heading Tags Should Include your Keywords

Lately, it seems as though many people have been concerned about over-optimization when it comes to search engine optimization of their web sites. Rightly so. There is some concern, especially since Google has been testing the over-optimization filter yet again. Keep in mind, though, that versions of the so-called Over Optimization Penalty has been around for years and SEOs have been concerned for a long time.

That’s why I continue to post these search engine optimization tips, so we can get back to the basics here of SEO. So, let’s take a look at heading tags and remember that your heading tags should include your keywords.

The heading tags you create fore ach of your web pages should have keywords in them for effective SEO. These are the headings for the body of your web page. You should have at least three heading tags for each page. This is how you inform the search engines and visitors about what you have to offer on your various web pages.

You definitely want to put the 1st heading tag, called, H1 around the name of your product. This is so that it targets what you are selling on that particular page of your website. You want to use the keywords that are the most important so that you will be able to have those important words at the top of the web page.

You want to do this for every single web page, even those that you don’t end up being pages where you sell items. This includes your blog pages too because they will often get a great deal of traffic. You can use the H2 and H3 headings for any subsections where you can use keywords effectively as well.

If you have many web pages, you want to adequately have headings for all of them. This includes your about us page, your frequently asked questions, and your testimonials pages. By effectively using these heading tags, you will be able to give your site plenty of structure which is professional. You will also be able to get higher search engine rankings and far more traffic than before.

Let’s Talk About an SEO Audit

When was the last time you received a full search engine optimization audit of your website? I recommend a full SEO audit at least once each year. Talk to someone who has over 10 years of website marketing experience who can steer you in the right direction, not just someone who is going to try to “sell you” search engine marketing or website marketing services.

I will be happy to provide you with no obligation price quote for a full SEO Audit of your website.
