SEMANTIC SEO: The Semantic-aware SEO workflow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Author: <\/strong>Alexander Rodrigues Silva<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com.br\/Alexander-Rodrigues-Silva\/e\/B0B5FZ2GZR\/ref=aufs_dp_mata_dsk\">This book<\/a> was born from the author&#8217;s desire to document his experience in search engine optimization and the insights he gained while studying librarianship at the University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Taxonomies, ontologies, and SEO are three elements born to coexist. But before delving into the beautiful world of <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\"  href=\"https:\/\/wordlift.io\/blog\/en\/entity\/semantic-seo\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0216\/entity\/semantic_seo\" >semantic SEO<\/a>, you need to know more about what website optimization was like before using semantics, and this book will help you do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process described in this book, the semantic SEO workflow, increases the relevance of published content by providing metadata that generates meaning and semantically links data. This process helps resolve ambiguities when answering a query with a specific search intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock vital summer SEO
