I would pay attention to overdoing it, if your entire page is H1 that looks pretty cruddy. So don\u2019t do all H1s and then you see assessed to look like regular tags. Because we see people who are competitors complain about that if users ever turn off CSS or if CSS doesn\u2019t load it looks really bad. It\u2019s alright to have a little bit of H1 here and then maybe there\u2019s two sections on a page so may be have a little bit of H1 here. But you should really use it for the headers or the headings which is what the intent is and not to just throw H1 everywhere you can on the page. Because I can tell if you just throw H1 everywhere on the page people have tried to abuse that and so our algorithms have tried to take that into account so it doesn\u2019t really do you that much good. So I would use it where it makes sense and more sparingly but you can have it multiple times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A very short to the point question from Erin, south of Boston.
