+### Minimal Usage
+
+The Heading component outputs an `h1` tag by default.
 
 ```
 <Heading>Great Deals</Heading>
 ```
 
-### Defining sizes
+#### Usage criteria
+
+- Be mindful of SEO and accessibility.
+- Be sure to organise headers in a nested order: h1, then h2, then h3.
+- Do **not** skip levels: h1, then h3.
+- For splash banners or hero overlays, use [Display Heading](#displayheading).
