Optimize Blogger Post Title
Heading tags defines the size of the the text. H1 is the biggest and H6 the smallest one. Heading Tag (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6) is important for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Search Engines like Google gives more importance to H1 text, the most important keywords are in the title of the posts so we need to use H1 for them. Blogger post titles are generally set to H2 or H3 as default dependent on your theme.
To set the post titles to H1 follow these steps.
