Semantic SEO
Semantic SEO focuses on topics, entities, and relationships—not keyword stuffing. It pairs well with structured data and clear content structure.
Definition
Semantic SEO aligns with how modern search understands content: entities, synonyms, related concepts, and context. Instead of stuffing exact-match keywords, you cover the topic comprehensively with clear structure and machine-readable signals (schema, canonicals, hreflang).
Why it matters
- Matches how modern search evaluates relevance
- More AEO-friendly for answer extraction and citation
- Improves long-tail coverage and topical authority
How to implement
- Use topic clusters to cover sub-questions and related terms
- Include relevant concepts and examples naturally in content
- Add schema/FAQ/breadcrumbs to clarify structure
