How to Fix Missing H2 Headings on Your Homepage

If you’ve received a warning in SureRank saying: “Homepage does not contain at least one H2 heading.”

This article will help you understand why this matters and how to fix it.

What’s the Problem?

Your homepage doesn’t have any H2 headings.

H2s act like section titles that break your content into clear parts. Without them, your page looks like one long block of text, harder for visitors to scan and harder for search engines to understand.

Why This Matters for SEO

• Better user experience: Visitors often skim instead of reading word by word. H2s help them spot what’s important quickly.
• Stronger SEO signals: Search engines use headings to understand your page’s structure and main topics.
• Improved readability: A homepage with subheadings feels organized, professional, and easier to follow.

Without H2s, your homepage may appear flat, confusing, and less engaging.

How to Fix This

Step 1 – Decide on main sections

Think about what belongs on your homepage:

• What you do (services or products)
• How it works (process)
• Why choose you (values or benefits)
• Key highlights (testimonials, features, or offers)

Each of these can become a section with an H2 heading.

Step 2 – Add H2 headings in WordPress

• Edit your homepage in WordPress (using the Block Editor, Elementor, or your theme builder).
• Insert a Heading block where you want to create a new section.
• Set the block to H2 (not H1 or H3).
• Write a short, clear title for that section.

Examples of H2s you can use:

• What We Do
• How It Works
• Our Services
• Why Choose Us

Step 3 – Review your homepage

• Make sure there’s at least one H2 heading.
• Use multiple H2s if your page has different sections.
• Keep them consistent, clear, and relevant.

Step 4 – Re-run Site SEO Analysis

• After making changes, Re-run Checks in SureRank.
• The warning should disappear. Homepage contains at least one H2 heading.

Summary

Adding H2 headings to your homepage improves readability, helps visitors scan your content, and gives search engines a clearer picture of your site. Just a few well-chosen subheadings can make your homepage stronger and more effective.
