Semantic HTML is web page code created using web standards. The relative importance of objects on your web page like headings are easily understood by search engines.
The small example below shows how the web designer can write you code so that it contains meaning that a search engine like google can understand.
Good practice for the main heading on a web page using the <h1> tag which search engines know means the main heading of the web page.
<h1>My page topic</h1>
Bad practice below does not give the search engine a clue as to the significance of the My Page Topic text.
<span class="heading class">My page topic</span>
