Auto-format blog post headers

To auto-format blog post headers for SEO and readability, follow this structured format using HTML or markdown syntax (depending on your platform):

General Header Formatting Rules:

  1. H1 (Main Title)

    • Only one H1 per page.

    • It should match or closely resemble the blog post title.

    • Example:

      html
      <h1>10 Proven Strategies to Boost Website Traffic</h1>
  2. H2 (Main Sections)

    • Use H2 to divide your blog into major sections or themes.

    • Example:

      html
      <h2>Why Website Traffic Matters</h2>
  3. H3 (Subsections)

    • Use H3 under H2s to add subtopics or steps.

    • Example:

      html
      <h3>1. Optimize Your Content for Search Engines</h3>
  4. H4-H6 (Optional, for further nesting)

    • Use sparingly for detailed breakdowns inside H3s.

    • Example:

      html
      <h4>Using Long-Tail Keywords</h4>

SEO Best Practices for Headers:

  • Include Primary Keywords in H1 and H2.

  • Use Numbered Lists or Questions in H2s or H3s to increase engagement and featured snippet chances.

  • Keep Headers Short and Clear (under 60 characters recommended).

  • Use Action Words in H2s/H3s (e.g., “How to,” “Top 10,” “Best Ways to…”).


Example Blog Header Structure:

html
<h1>How to Start a Successful Blog in 2025</h1> <h2>1. Choosing the Right Blogging Platform</h2> <h3>Why WordPress is Still the Best Choice</h3> <h3>Pros and Cons of Alternatives</h3> <h2>2. Finding Your Niche</h2> <h3>Understanding Your Audience</h3> <h3>Evaluating Market Demand</h3> <h2>3. Creating High-Quality Content</h2> <h3>Keyword Research Basics</h3> <h3>Crafting SEO-Friendly Headlines</h3> <h2>4. Promoting Your Blog</h2> <h3>Using Social Media to Drive Traffic</h3> <h3>Guest Posting and Backlink Strategies</h3> <h2>5. Monetizing Your Blog</h2> <h3>Affiliate Marketing</h3> <h3>Ad Revenue and Sponsorships</h3>
