Are you writing a post and want to optimize it for search engines by adding a heading in post. Add headings in posts with the keyword are one of the ranking factors, though it is not a major factor but is helpful to have it.

But how to add different heading in your post, because it can decrease readability and can look odd if not done correctly. Also not all posts might have many headings.

There is an easy way to add headings in post without losing the readability and looking odd. You can add headings in post at any place and control their font and size from another tag.

Let me give you an example, If I want to add a H2 heading here, it will look like as:

Add Headings in Post

Which looks odd and decrease readability. Now lets see how can we control the size and formatting so it will not look odd. I can add it as mentioned below:

Add Headings in Post

Both are the headings, but the second one looks like more readable and appropriate. How we can do that, with the help of span tag. Once you add the heading you can wrap the words of heading in span tag to control the formatting.

span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;"

This is like any other tag. Here font size can control your heading size and font-weight can contain if you want to make it bold/normal. Below is what I have for second heading.

<h2><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;">Add Headings in Post</span></h2>


So If you want to add headings in post then you should use it with span tag to make it more readable and take control of your headings.
