Semantic SEO is about optimizing for everything, including the topic instead of individual keywords. The single keyword optimization is no longer in use or accepted by Google. When Google came up with the algorithm called “Hummingbird” & “RankBrain” it tried to understand the whole page and content instead of looking for a single keyword.
Google still looks for the keyword in the page but it doesn't actually rely on them for the results. Instead it looks for the pages which cover the “Topic” rather than “Keyword”. For example, your page is about “Weight Loss Diet” though you’ve used this keyword in your page the Google Algorithm will definitely search for the keyword but it’ll go for terms like “Weight Loss Diet Benefits” or “Weight Loss Diet Plan” & show the results likewise.
