H2 (Sixth)

The Sixth H2 header from each HTML page that our site crawler scrapes.

Although the sixth H2 header is less valuable than the first, they perform more than just an SEO function. If you have all these headers, they should be used and implemented properly, moreover they should be optimised to improve overall SEO performance.

All H2 headers regardless of the number, carry with them a level of SEO value that can be brought into action when optimised properly.

We scrape all H2 headers.

A Little More About H2 Headers

All H2 headers should reinforce the theme or context of the content it is heading, and that content should be relevant to the header.

Additionally, H2 headers are to be ordered in a specific hierarchy within the structure of other headers.

Raptor’s site crawler (Raptorbot) scrapes all H2 headers from accessible HTML/Text webpages, and we return the text contained in that h2 header. This can often highlight that multiple H2 headers have been used on a single page. This is quite commonplace and is completely legitimate.

Looking at all other headers can provide insights into how the content is structured on a site and each page.

 

Examples of How H2 Header Tag Data is Used

There are various reasons why you would want to look at H2 header data, we have set out some examples below.

 

Example 1: Content Per Header

For a page to have more than 4 or 5 H2 headers, we should expect there to be major amounts of content on these pages. Using the word count of the headers, the word count of the page, and the total number of headers… We can calculate some interesting data:

(Word count – Word Count of Headers) / Number of headers = Content per header

This can sure this data up by removing estimated word counts from templated regions like menus. It is possible to perform this on every page to detect URLs with thin content per header or look at the site to get a top-level perspective.

 

Example 2: Header Keyword Optimisation

You can use this data in conjunction with other H2 data to audit a site for keyword targeting opportunities. By exporting all H2 data, you can review which are optimised and which are not, and ultimately remap new keywords to these SEO on-page components.

 

Example 3: Incorrect Usage

Raptor provides you with enough H2 Header data to review and assess whether a site has any of the following problems:

• Incorrectly header structure
• H2 headers used to style content
• Content structure issues
• Header hierarchy structure issues

 

What We Do & What We Give You

We scrape this from the sixth <h2> tag we find on a page. We simply scrape the contents of this tag, for example if we found this tag sixth of a page:

<h2>another example header</h2>

The data / text we would show in field would be “another example header”.

We scrape pages from top to bottom, and this reflects the order by which we determine what header is first to last.

Looking at you competitor H2 headers can also help to reveal their keyword strategy, removing brand names, or separating the data can be a quick way of compiling a keyword list. H2 headers often include variants of the primary keywords targeted by a page.

As such they can provide a wealth of competitive data.
