I would imagine proper tagging of an OCR document would increase searchability/Google rank, as well as readers' ability to find document headings and sections. For example, when you tag a scanned document, the document may visually look the same, but the tagging provides another layer of information that is of value to a wide range of users as well as tools such as search engines.
