What is semantic search?
Semantic search helps improve search accuracy by looking beyond keywords and at searcher intent and the context of keywords combined to generate more relevant results.
This delivers more accurate information that the user is seeking to determine the subject and context, which means the user doesn’t have to search through search results to find the most tailored information.
Search engines such as Google and Bing have introduced semantic search looking at content relevant to the context of search, location, intent, variation of words, the query, concept matching and natural language queries to provide relevant search results.
Semantic is the science of meaning in language, to produce highly relevant and more specific search results.
You can start changing the way you create content so that it’s picked up in semantic search.
The way of the future
Semantic search will be the future of web searches. Search engines such as Google have taken steps in the past few years to remove the amount of spam that comes up in searches and promote genuine content. Your content marketing strategy is important because the semantically related keywords you use will enable Google to determine the power and relevance of the content to internet users.
