Headings - How to use headings on your website?

Headings play a key role on nearly all websites. They attract visitors and make it easier to navigate the site. The correct use of headings has a positive effect on the high positioning of the website in the search results. Below we show you how to add a heading step by step in BOWWE!

Benefits of using headings:

  • More clicks!
    Great headlines aren't just useful for blog articles. It is no secret that a well-structured heading can provide more clicks to given content, positively influencing CTR (click-through-rate). Keep this in mind when creating your own headlines.
  • Intuitive navigation
    Internet users rarely read all the content on a given website. They only look for what interests them the most. If they don't find it, they leave and no longer return to the site. Therefore, you need to give them what they want quickly. The headlines that can easily separate information and select the most important ones will help you in this.
  • Better positioning
    Search engine indexing robots carefully "scan" your website and analyze whether it is user-friendly, and the content on it - arranged.
  • Better presentation of your offer
    If you look at your favorite pages, you will quickly notice that they make use of the headlines. They are a great way to present your offer in an attractive way. Use them to attract more customers.

How to add a heading on a page in the BOWWE Builder?

Headings hierarchy. Why should you know it?

There is a 6-stage hierarchy of headings, determining their order on the page. According to it, each heading takes the value from H1 to H6.

 

Using headings will allow you to position your website higher in search engines ... but only on one condition. You must add them in the correct order!

Remember about:

Selecting the H1-H6 class of the heading, affects its size. You can always change it, but remember that higher class headings should usually be larger. In other words: if your H2 headings are 30px in size, don't enter H3, H4, H5 and H6 headings larger than 30 px!

When to use specific types of headlines?

H1 heading

The H1 heading defines the title of your website. The H1 heading appears most often at the top of the page. In the case of the page you are on, this is "Headings H1-H6. How do I use them?". Each page can only have one title. Therefore, you can only set the H1 value to one headline on your website.

H2-H6 headings

All headings from H2 to H6 are subheadings. Their purpose is to better organize the content on your site. What differs is the order in which they should be used.

 

If your site has only a few headings, you only need to give them an H2 value. An example of an H2 heading on the page you are on right now is "What is the heading hierarchy?". What about in a situation where your page is more elaborate? Then you should use the next in order of heading types, that is, H3, H4, H5 and H6, as appropriate.

 

An example of the correct use of headings

Imagine that you are writing a blog article about iconic sports cars.

So what might an example of the correct order of headings on your site look like?

 

 

H1 (title): Iconic Sports Cars You Must Know!

H2: German sports cars

H3: Porshe cars

H4: Porshe 911

 

 

The more detailed content you present on your site, which requires you to introduce subtopics or subcategories - you should reach for more headings, according to the order H2-H6.

Congratulations!

Now you know the correct headline hierarchy necessary for high positioning!
