H1 Tag

The H1 tag is the primary heading of a webpage, typically the most prominent text indicating the page's main topic. As the highest-level heading in HTML hierarchy (H1-H6), it signals to search engines what the page is about. Best practice is one H1 per page that includes primary keywords naturally.

How This Applies to Home Care Marketing

H1 tags are crucial for page SEO because they communicate primary topic relevance. Your dementia care page H1 should clearly indicate “Dementia Care” or “Dementia Care Services in [City]“—not a generic tagline. The H1 is often the first thing users read and directly impacts ranking for target keywords.

Common H1 mistakes on home care sites include using the company name as H1 on every page, missing H1 tags entirely (relying on images or logos), or using multiple H1 tags creating ambiguity about page focus.

Key Takeaway

Ensure every page has exactly one H1 tag that clearly describes the page’s topic and includes primary keywords naturally. The H1 should match user expectations from the SERP listing and immediately confirm they’ve found relevant content.
