Frequently asked questions
Why does heading structure matter for AI citation specifically?
A clean H1–H6 hierarchy helps a model parse a page into logical, well-bounded sections — the same structure retrieval systems use to isolate a specific passage to lift into an answer. A flat or skipped hierarchy makes it harder to tell where one topic ends and the next begins.
What's the most common heading issue this tool flags?
Skipped levels — jumping from an H1 straight to an H3 with no H2, or using multiple H1s on one page — both of which break the clean nesting that helps both search engines and AI models understand a page's structure.
Does every page need an H2 and H3?
Not necessarily — a short page might only need an H1 and body text. The issue isn't the total number of headings, it's whether whatever headings exist follow a logical, non-skipping order.
Can I analyze a page I don't own?
Yes — the tool fetches any public URL you enter and reads its rendered heading structure, which is also useful for auditing a competitor's structural approach.
