Semantic SEO: 5 Ways to Future Proof Your Search Rankingssemrush_webinars
As search evolves, so does optimization. Search results are less about phrases (combinations of words and letters) and more about topics (semantic meanings and entities). So a smart content marketer optimizes for “things, not strings.”
But what exactly does this mean for the writer? This presentation covers five specific actions we take as content marketers to make sure that your marketing is aligned with the future of SEO.
Find clues into what topics are semantically linked to each other (Research)

In this presentation we’ll start with the basics and move straight into the advanced techniques.
How Google Works (...and why they rule)
