I've had an epiphany with the help of Surfer SEO, and I'm curious and excited to see if it will help.
Basically, I've been wondering why my sites seemed to not hit the top spots as much as the competition and I blamed it on links and page speed, but Surfer tells me the cause might be my H tags.
I have too few words in my H tags, but what I really think is the issue is that I use H3 tags too much.
I might do something like
H2 Popular widgets
-- H3 popular widget 1
--- H4 popular widget 1 subheadline
-- H3 popular widget 2
--- H4 popular widget 2 subheadline
And now I'm thinking that H3 are basically useless for this and I should just use H2 and then the subheadline should be H3.
What I've also noticed is that H3 rarely seems to show up when you're searching for that specific term in Google, despite being listable/linkable in the content. It seems like Google treats it just like any other paragraph text.
So as a consequence I will be swapping my products for H2 and adding the subheaders as H3.
The funny and stupid reason I used that structure in the first place was because I wanted to have a nice Table of Contents structure in Elementor.
