What is an H1 Tag?

Is short for ‘Heading Tag No.1’ and is the most important heading tag. All web pages are structured with a hierarchy, making life far easier and quicker for search engines to understand and return better results within their results pages. When thinking about SEO the H1 tag should be used effectively to communicate and emphasise exactly what a page is about. By making your H1 super relevant to the landing page in question, you are telling search engines that this piece of text, or heading is super important and should be read and considered first. Although H1 tags are important for SEO it also needs to be easy for users to find, so it would be useful if the tag was made to stand out through bold, italics and so on.
