Definition

A semantic fragment is a self-contained unit of web content that carries a clear, machine-interpretable meaning. It can be a block of structured data (e.g. Schema.org), a well-marked-up section, or a concise text block that agents can extract and use without full-page context.

Why it matters for GEO

Agents often need to combine information from multiple sources. Semantic fragments reduce ambiguity and improve reliability when agents quote, compare, or act on your content.
