Semantic Structure

Semantic structure organizes a document's topics, roles, and relationships for readers and represents those meanings with appropriate HTML elements.

Use heading levels for topics and subtopics, and choose lists, tables, and navigation links according to their purpose. A comparison page might separate the subjects, conditions, differences, and evidence. Consistent names for organizations and concepts can reduce ambiguity for readers.

Meaningful HTML and heading structure support accessibility and navigation. They do not, by themselves, prove an increase in AI citations or search rankings. A site's frequent citation cannot be explained by its heading hierarchy alone.

Frequently asked questions

Which HTML elements should I check first?

Check that h1–h6 reflect the content hierarchy, main and nav match their actual roles, and link text describes the destination. Do not rely on font size alone to convey a heading.
