Effective heading hierarchy is a fundamental component of well-structured web content, serving as a critical bridge between user experience and search engine optimization. It involves organizing the content on a webpage using HTML heading tags ( <h1> through <h6> ) in a logical, nested sequence. This structure not only enhances readability for human visitors by breaking down complex information into digestible sections but also provides search engines with clear signals about the main topics and subtopics of a page, aiding in proper indexing and ranking.
