Adding Headings

This article shows you how to add a heading. A heading is a word or phrase that draws the reader’s attention. A heading works like a book title: it tells the reader what to expect.

Use headings as a:

  • slogan in the header
  • title or caption for an image
  • link to other content
  • section break in a long passage

To create a heading, you don’t write words on a webpage. Instead, you type words inside a Heading Component. A Heading Component is typically placed inside:

  • column
  • section
  • header
  • footer

 

Note: Headings and text are different. Headings are short, often one or two words. Text is long. Text is a passage that describes and explains.

 

Multiple H1s on a page

It's a good idea to have one H1 heading on a page. H1 headings are an important part of any SEO strategy. They help search engines identify your keywords.

It's a bad idea to have two or more H1s on the same page. A page with multiple H1s generates crawl errors.

To avoid this problem, we have set some defaults in our Heading component. 

  • The first time you place a Heading component on a page, the text is set to H1.
  • Every other Heading component on the same page is automatically set to H2.
