Think of heading tags like the chapters and subheadings within a textbook. The H1 tag would be the title of the chapter, followed by subheadings of varying levels, marked with the H2, H3...H6 tags.

Use relevant, user-friendly keywords in your heading tags to help search engines recognize and rank your page as being relevant to that topic.
