#4. Optimize Your Headlines

Believe me, using headlines and sub-headers has several SEO benefits.

Aside from the fact that headers are a great way to tell Google to push traffic to your blog, they are also a great way to provide structures for your blog content.

Your headline and sub-headers help Google to easily read, interpret, and understand what your blog is about.

It also helps your blog readers to easily scan through your blog posts.

A scannable article is a readable article, and a readable article is one that’s more likely to perform well in the search engines. - Amelia Willson (@ameleioratethis) Share on X

Truth is, if you optimize your headlines well enough, you will get people visiting your blog every time you publish a new post.

It’s a no-brainer really.

Your headline should incite people and make them curious enough to click through to your blog to read that blog post.

What are some examples of a good headline?

Well, Jon Morrow once wrote a really definitive eBook about headline hacks.

He called it, ‘52 Headline Hacks‘, and in case you’d like to have access to that ebook, I have uploaded it on my Facebook Group‘s file section, here.

I’d download it if you really are keen on learning how to increase website traffic by simply optimizing your headlines and sub-headers.

More so, if you would love to really learn and master the art and science of optimizing your blog headlines, I’d suggest you read Amelia Willson and Jono Alderson‘s submissions on Search Engine Journal and Yoast Blog respectively.
