Subheading distribution
Listen, subheadings are like a roadmap for your readers, they guide them through your text and keep them focused. You gotta have a good distribution of subheadings throughout your writing, like making sure you have the right beats in a hit song. If you don't have a balanced distribution, it's like a concert without a light show - dull and unimpressive.
One of the Subheading of your article must mention the focus phrase of your article. Usually when I write about movie trailers, the title of the movie is my focus phrase. Yes your article have the focus phrase in one of the subheading. Usually the first one.
