Where do the H1 / H2 tags show up vs. the TITLE tag and Google searches?
Question: -
Q: The title tag shows up on the top line of listings. Where do the H1 and H2 tags show up? Do they affect the online web page content?
Answer: -
The TITLE tag controls the description at the top of the browser, and the HEADLINE on a Google search.
The H1 / H2 tags are VISIBLE on your pages to humans and to Google, usually appearing as big bold text. They don't necessarily appear in the Google search results - rather than are strong indicators to Google that your page focuses on whatever keywords are embedded INSIDE the H1, H2 tags. Good rule of thumb: repeat your TITLE tag in your H1 tag, or have it be very close.
Hope this helps!
