  • 02:11
    Content optimization and its effect on knowledge graphs
    The main goal of a knowledge graph is to organize content. Optimizing content and adding structured data provides Google with what it needs to have a good context for a piece of content.
  • 04:36
    Submitting structured vs unstructured information when optimizing for Google results
    The approach must be based on the goals of the business. But, it generally starts with unstructured data then you move on to using schema to guide Google on how to link content together.
  • 06:44
    Building semantic associations using schema vs internal link building
    Building semantic associations between pages gives context to the links. Unlike internal linking, the link is emphasized and indicates to search engines, with metadata, why concepts are linked.
  • 08:03
    Building associations that you want within Google during the content production process
    While going through content production, you should understand what entities youre going to talk about. Semantic briefs can be used when there is no structured data to determine the topics to be covered and linked semantically.
