Google has always rated your website’s SEO with several factors, but the most common goal of many SEO strategies has been to stick to one relevant term when it came to keywords. Unfortunately, an onslaught of keyword stuffing crashed that party resulting in Google penalizing sites for using a keyword too often and in inappropriate context. Instead, algorithm updates now take into account semantically related words or variations that would help a reader better understand a topic. These are called Latent Semantic Indexing or LSI keywords.
Latent Semantic Indexing Keywords help the reader and Google understand what your web page or blog post is about. They aren’t synonyms, but terms that help give the reader and Google more relevant context.
Are you talking about a construction service provider? For a house or commercial property? Or maybe an independent contractor for a specific professional business need. This is where LSI keywords come in.
We are talking about residential construction, so there will be words on the page like:
These words make it clear that we aren’t talking about hiring someone for an outsourced job.
You can do a Google search or use a keyword planning tool to see some of the related things on the search engine results page.
If you do an internet search, you will find plenty of articles that try to debunk LSI keyword strategy. This is both because the technology has been around for along time and some say that Google doesn’t look specifically for LSI keywords when calculating your website’s SEO.
That said, related terms have long played an important role in whether your page is considered a good example of what people are actually searching for. LSI keywords add context and variety to your content in a way that keeps the text interesting and readable. It helps you create relevant content without stuffing it full of the exact keywords repeatedly.
