Wix Blog: About Heading Tags in Wix Blog

2 min read
Heading tags are elements in your blog's HTML code that represent the headings in your post. Each page of your site should have its own unique set of heading tags.  
We recommend using heading tags in every post you write as they create a structure for your post and divide it into sections. This helps both search engines and readers understand what each post is all about.
In this article, learn more about:

Adding heading tags to your post

There are two types of heading tags that you can use in your post as follows:
  • Heading 2: Large header text
  • Heading 3: Mid-sized header text
Note:
By default, the main heading tag (Heading 1) is your post's title. This option is only available for post titles. 

To add heading tags to a blog post:

  1. Highlight the text that you want to make into a heading tag.
  2. Click the Text style drop-down to choose a style:
    • Heading 2: Large header text (not your title)
    • Heading 3: Mid-sized header text
    • Paragraph: Small text suitable for paragraphs

Finding heading tags in your post's HTML code

When crawling your blog post, search engine bots search for heading tags to learn more about your content and where to display it. If necessary, you can always check your post's HTML code and verify your heading tags were added properly. 

To find heading tags in your HTML code:

  1. View your source code
  2. Use Ctrl + F to open the search bar.
  3. Search for the terms to find the relevant tag:
    • <H1 for your post's title.
    • <H2 for your post's sections (large header that's not your title)
    • <H3 for your post's sub-sections (mid-sized header)
