The challenge of the semantic analysis performed by the search engine will be to understand that the user is looking for a draft (the air current), all within a given radius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A more impressive example is when you type &#8220;boy who lives in a cupboard under the stairs&#8221; on Google.

It automatically analyses the textual data of a website to quickly understand what users of a search engine use as keywords, expressions&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sentiment analysis tools work by automatically detecting the tone, emotion, and turn of phrases and assigning them a positive, negative, or neutral label, so you know what types of phrases to use on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many semantic analysis tools, but some are easier to use than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Use Semantic Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEO No Longer Relies Solely on Keywords<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, to increase the traffic of your site thanks to SEO, you used to rely on keywords and on the multiplication of the entry doors to your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this is no longer sufficient. Because of the implementation by Google of semantic analysis in the searches made by users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Google&#8217;s objective through its semantic analysis algorithm is to offer the best possible result during a search. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>For companies, the objective is to have the best position on Google by <em>boosting their natural referencing<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, to appear in the first positions of a Google search, it is no longer enough to rely on keywords or entry points, but to make sure that the pages of your website are understandable by Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Use Semantic Analysis and What Are Its Advantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By integrating <strong>semantic analysis<\/strong> in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sortlist.co.uk\/blog\/google-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEO strategy<\/a>, you will boost your SEO because semantic analysis will orient your website according to what the internet users you want to target are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will help you to use the right keywords to <strong><span style=\"color:#005d6f\" class=\"has-inline-color\">help Google understand the topic<\/span><\/strong>, and show you at the top of the search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, semantic analysis will allow you to diversify the entry points to your site, by optimising all the pages of your site as well as using long-tail expressions that allow you to reach an audience that is looking for a specific product or information and that, therefore, will click more on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The semantic analysis will allow you to answer different types of requests. For this, we categorise <em>4 types of keywords<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Commercial<\/span>: with very low traffic, they will direct the Internet user who is looking for an immediate purchase towards the product or service that you sell.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Informational<\/span>: with very high traffic, they will inform the user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Transactional<\/span>: their purpose is to prepare a purchase by comparing the different existing offers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Navigational<\/span>: their goal is for the user to find a site already visited.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Semantic Analysis Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEO Quantum &#8211; The Main Reference in Semantic Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sortlist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/logo-seoquantum.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3718\" style=\"width:380px;height:214px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/logo-seoquantum.png 576w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/logo-seoquantum-50x28.png 50w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/logo-seoquantum-288x162.png 288w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/logo-seoquantum-339x191.png 339w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/logo-seoquantum-373x210.png 373w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/logo-seoquantum-478x269.png 478w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/logo-seoquantum-516x290.png 516w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seoquantum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">SEO Quantum<\/a> is a natural referencing solution that integrates 3 tools among the <strong>semantic crawler<\/strong>, the <strong>keyword strategy<\/strong>, and the <strong>semantic analysis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Semantic analysis<\/span>: the content of a website is analysed to make a complete assessment of the pages, content, and their performance in order to optimise it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Keyword Strategy<\/span>: This feature allows you to find relevant keywords used by Internet users.
