Semantic HTML

Semantic HTML uses HTML5 elements with meaning: <article>, <section>, <nav>, <header>, <footer>, <aside>, <main>, <figure>. Unlike <div>/<span> which carry no meaning, semantic tags help machines understand content structure.

Why It Matters

AI search engines rely on semantic HTML to understand page structure and accurately extract main content. Pages using semantic HTML have 30-50% higher citability scores.

🔍How AiSEO Checks

AiSEO analyzes DOM structure, evaluates the ratio of semantic vs non-semantic tags, checks for <main>, <article>, heading hierarchy, and scores semantic HTML.
