Why Heading tags are important in SEO?
Another reason why headings are important for SEO is that they make it easier for users to navigate through the page. The user can see at a glance what the page is all about by looking at the H1 tag. The rest of the headings provide a big hint to users as to what to expect in each section.
H1s are a good indicator of what the most important text on a page is. As they are usually the most visually notable content on the page, a good H1 can ensure clarity for the reader. It’s important to remember that SEO can often be about user optimisation as well as optimisation for search.

You may be able to trick the search engines for a brief period of time by hiding keyword stuffed sentences on your page, but you will risk having your site permanently banned from the search engines.
