Razvan, Great article! After 20 years of doing SEO, it’s refreshing to see there is always something new to learn. I’ve not considered delving deeper into research about synonyms. While I’m familiar with them and do use them, I was unaware of the true importance. Thank you for sharing.

I’ve seen this quite often, and especially notice it after certain major algorithm updates when Google significantly change their understanding of certain words. One I noticed was ‘repairs’ recognising ‘service’ or ‘servicing’ as being the same when preceded by ‘garage door’ on a client’s website.

Thanks for sharing this! Indeed, I’ve heard the same story from other webmaster coming from countries where English, French or German weren’t the official languages. But I do believe (and hope) that Google will get better at this.

This is, honestly, one of the best SEO articles I’ve read in years.
I want to share my thoughts on non-English SEO, particularly SEO for “small” languages like Serbian or Czech. Google is just not there and it doesn’t recognize many exact synonyms as such. An example is the Serbian term “izrada sajta”. It means EXACTLY the same as “izrada web sajtova” – basically “website design” in English, and still Google doesn’t recognize this and instead of these two interchangeable terms it finds loosely related queries to be synonyms. It drives me crazy because they are pretty much forcing me to do keyword stuffing with multiple keywords with same meaning in order to achieve better rankings. So, for languages other than English, situation is pretty bad regarding SEO efforts and we have to use some stupid search terms, it’s like how you explained in the article, but much much worse situation, since Google algorithms are underdeveloped for small nations.

Very instructive article! I got some questions:

1) In Germany many people search for experience with some products. (I try to translate the keyword stuff in English.) Many people who want to get informations search for example for “iPhone X experience” and as a result you will get a lot of articles on Google with that longtail keyword.

In that case…is the keyword “test” a synonym for “experience”? I think not. But for example if someone searches for “iPhone X experience” they would probably also search for “iPhone X test”. What would you recommend in that case?

2) When I optimize an article on the keyword “iPhone X test” I would write that keyword for example 15 times. I guess while writing the text I would also write unintentionally a couple of times the shorttail keyword “test”, maybe more often than the longtail keyword. Would you recommend to delete some of the “test” keywords? Maybe otherwise google thinks that I optimized on 2 keyword?!

Regards
Florian

Great Post, I find this to be very helpful and I will be sure to implement this more in the future. I also find this helpful towards deciding on what I should make the titles of my sites so I can get some synonyms in there as well, since titles have a bit more influence in comparison to on-page content (but on-page definitely counts). Thanks for the post and I’ll be sure to come back for more!

Synonyms play a great role in ranking these days. While doing analysis, we found that some website dont even have the exact match keywords on their pages for rankings, instead they were using the synonyms for those keywords. And they have occupied the first position.
It helps a lot
