Definition
Semantic SEO is the practice of optimizing content around meaning, relationships, and search intent rather than exact-match keywords. It aligns content with how modern search engines understand language — entities, context, and related concepts — so a page can satisfy a topic comprehensively.
Why it matters
Engines now interpret intent, not just strings. Writing for the concept and its related entities lets one strong page answer many queries and feeds the same understanding AI answer engines rely on.
