Definition
A semantic keyword is the question a customer actually asks, not the keyword phrase they would type into a search box. "How much does bookkeeping cost for a small company in Shenzhen" is a semantic keyword; "Shenzhen bookkeeping" is a search keyword.
Why it matters
Models match on the question, not the phrase. A content plan built from a search keyword list will consistently miss the way people actually ask.
