Heading Structure & a Clear H1

Structure H1–H3 so people and crawlers understand the page. Sourcer scores heading structure on every SEO snapshot.

· Sourcer Editorial

Headings outline the page for readers and assistive tech. Sourcer’s scoring includes heading structure — especially whether a clear H1 is present — as part of the SEO grade.

Practical structure

  • One primary H1 that describes the page topic
  • H2/H3 sections that nest logically (no skipping for decoration)
  • Don’t hide the only H1 in a logo image without text
  • Complement — don’t duplicate — the title tag

While you are in the HTML, fix missing ALT text on content images in the same pass.
