The content on your HVAC website will help inform, entertain, and generate new customers.

Today we are talking about H-tags and how you should use them in all of your website copy, including landing pages, blog posts, and more.

Why?

H-tags are an important part of any basic SEO strategy because search engines like Google and Bing pull H-tags from websites to prioritize search result pages.

Let’s do an experiment. 

If you have a blog without H-tags on your HVAC website, go and check your organic traffic.

Now change the headings using H-tags on your most recent post and check the organic traffic in a few days.

I’ll bet the traffic has gone up.

Sounds crazy, I know! But this simple part of the SEO strategy can make a huge difference in your organic traffic.
