Writing a SEO semantic code is like telling the bots or making he machine to understand about the importance of something. For example a heading of the page can be written as

This is the page title

While watching it will definitely appear as a title but a bot would not be able to consider as a title. To make it a title from user as well as seo perspective it should be coded like:

This is a heading

One more reason to write semantic coding is many users who are unable to see properly prefer audio to understand the text. SEO semantic coding makes the codes easily accessible to them. In a nutshell, SEO semantic coding increases the accessibility of the web page.



Upon reading couple of blogs and articles you may or may not generalize the use of markup service, but let me explain it to you simply. Semantic coding is done purposely for crawlers. It’s a way of writing your codes so that bots and humans both can check it without any hassle.



Semantic coding is a way of writing HTML codes so that the data enclosed between the tags are expressed easily. It is like using HTML codes for their sole purpose or for what they stand. For example: H1 tags are world widely used for headings but it is not the only tag used. The reason behind using the same format world wide is to set a common standard otherwise there will be bunches of custom tags depending upon every individual’s choice. The other reason for using H1 tag world wide could be that it is more expressive and space saving than div.



HTML is about the presentation of data whereas semantic HTML suggests what the data is about. Semantic coding becomes important also because search engine crawlers give search credit according to coding hierarchy. For example: Suppose in an article or content of a website if the heading is given in H1 then it will get more importance than one in span. Semantic coding helps in the process of search engine optimization of a website.
