Question 1

Why should H2 headers be questions?

Accepted Answer

Question-based H2 headers match how users search and increase chances of appearing in Google's "People Also Ask" boxes. They also make content more scannable and help AI systems identify Q&A patterns for featured snippets.

Question 2

What percentage of H2s should be questions?

Accepted Answer

Aim for 50-70% of your H2 headers to be questions for informational content. Not every heading needs to be a question—use a mix of questions for topics users search and statements for navigation or context.

Question 3

How do question H2s help with featured snippets?

Accepted Answer

Google often pulls content for featured snippets from pages that directly answer questions. When your H2 matches a user's query and the following paragraph provides a concise answer (40-60 words), you're more likely to earn the snippet.

Question 4

What question words work best for H2 headers?

Accepted Answer

The most effective question starters are: "What" (definitions), "How" (tutorials), "Why" (explanations), "When" (timing), "Where" (location), and "Which" (comparisons). Match the question type to the content that follows.
