Why does heading structure matter for SEO?

Search engines use headings to understand page structure and topic hierarchy. A clear H1→H2→H3 order signals well-organized content.

What does skipped heading level mean?

Jumping from H1 directly to H3 (skipping H2) is a structural issue that can confuse screen readers and search crawlers.

Should every page have exactly one H1?

Best practice is one H1 per page that clearly describes the primary topic. Multiple H1s dilute topic signals.
