What is Semantic Analysis?
Semantic analysis covers the process of analysing a coherent text, individual words, phrases or similar, for their actual meaning and relationship to related words.
Semantic analysis is something you can delve deeply into and study, but it is also something we humans do completely automatically.
We automatically analyse:
- Context in relation to surrounding words in texts, phrases, etc.
- Extract the relevant information.
- Compare information against previous experiences.
And we use this to predict the meaning of the subject in question. Completely automatically.

Semantic analysis and SEO
As search engines have evolved and continue to evolve, their algorithms are also beginning to understand contexts and relationships — much like us humans (read more about the Google update BERT here). This means that search engines are increasingly understanding the meaning of words, texts and phrases.
For this reason, semantic analysis is used, among other things, for optimising content in connection with SEO and more on websites today. More specifically through the use of LSI keywords:
- LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing): Understanding words and topics that are related (within the same overarching area), thereby giving, for example, search engines or other recipients a better, deeper and overall understanding of the content (for example the domain as a whole). This could be words such as: "Online", "Marketing", "SoMe", etc., which are related.
It is important to understand and apply the above in your work in order to make your texts as relevant as possible in relation to your keywords and industry in general.
