What exactly this criterion covers

This criterion is discreet… until it blocks SEO performance.

**Y1 — Semantic keyword research** (Chapter 22 - Fundamental AI SEO): Thematic clusters and entities with AI tools

Why it matters (SEO + UX)

Why it matters: It’s a signal of understanding to the engine.When it is poorly applied, we often observe: ambiguity (bad associated query), duplication between pages, or loss of performance on impressions.

On sites generated in volume, this criterion also serves as a **safeguard**: a stable rule avoids 1,000 errors at once.

How to check (step by step)

Approach: validation via Search Console (real data).Recommended tool: **Your WG Analyzer**.

  1. Open the source code and locate the element concerned (tag/structure).
  2. Controls hierarchy and consistency with H1 + intro.
  3. Run a crawl to detect pages that violate the criterion.

Tip: first isolate 10 “representative” URLs (top pages + generated pages) before scaling the correction.

How to correct properly

Strategy: Apply a rule, then check neighboring pages.

  • Rewrite the plan: H1 clear, H2 = sub-questions, H3 = details.
  • Adds a differentiating element (scope, method, example) to avoid duplication.
  • Checks consistency with the intention (info / comparison / action).

Next: re-crawl 50–200 URLs, then monitor Search Console over 7–14 days (impressions/CTR/indexing).

Concrete example (illustrative)

Example (illustrative):

  • **Context**: category page for insurance in Lyon
  • **Before**: generic H1 + sections without hierarchy (inconsistent H2/H3).
  • **After**: H1 intention-oriented + H2 by sub-questions (case: category page — insurance).
  • **Note**: Objective: make the plan “scannable” and aligned with intent.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions — Y1

What is the most common error in “Semantic keyword research”?

Correct an isolated page without correcting the template/import: the error returns to the next generation.

Which tool is the fastest to control at scale?

For this type of criteria, a crawl (e.g. Screaming Frog) + a targeted check in Your WG Analyzer is generally the fastest combo.

How to prevent this from happening again on 10K pages generated?

Freeze an auto-generation rule (title/structure/schema/URLs) + add an automatic check (crawl or test) before import into production.
