4. Topic Headline / Header : Your header (Post titles) of the topic in your blog works as a keyword, so always try to use great and SEO friendly headings. For example if you are going to write a how to article, then start with How-To…… , this is because your title already contains the keyword with “How-to” and in SERP it will be highlighted.
