Why are Search Intents (formerly called Headings) important?

Semji’s Search Intents section shows you what topics your audience is interested in around a given keyword. They allow you to structure in a few clicks a relevant editorial plan for your audience. These search intents are to be integrated in your Hn tags (titles and subtitles) in order to make Google’s crawlers quickly understand that your content is relevant and complete on the targeted keyword. By producing a content structure that is relevant to your audience and to Google, you improve your chances of ranking in the top 3.

Tips

Be sure to organize the Search Intents with the html title tags. The Hn tags must be placed in a certain order: the H1 is your first title, the tag should only be used once, at the top of the page. The following title levels can be more numerous, and allow you to hierarchize the information.   They should be nested to indicate levels of depth of information, as in the summary of a long book. For example, in the structure below, the h3 subheads allow you to subdivide the subject matter addressed by the h2 subhead: <h2>How to handle the SEO optimization of your international content?</h2> <h3>Meet your local audience expectations</h3> <h3>Uncover the strategy of your local SEO competitors</h3> <h3>Detect new SEO opportunities</h3> <h2>How to organize SEO content production internationally?</h2> …

SEO Questions

• ​

  Can my H1 and my title be similar?

Semji recommends that you write a different h1 and Title tag. The title aims at indexation and click incentive from the result page, while the H1 is there to introduce the topic once on the page. H1 and Title must therefore be written with these considerations in mind.

• ​

  Can I use my focus keyword in several Hn?

Yes, as long as the reading seems natural, relevant and that it serves the quality of your content. Avoid keyword stuffing (placing your keyword everywhere) which can be counterproductive. To cover a topic in a comprehensive way, Semji recommends different topics to cover. Opt for a complete content rather than a redundant one.
