❓ Frequently Asked Questions
L'expansion diacritique concerne-t-elle toutes les langues ?
Principalement celles utilisant des diacritiques, mais les nuances linguistiques ne sont pas toutes capturées de manière efficace.
Dois-je toujours cibler des versions accentuées des mots-clés ?
Non, concentrez-vous sur le contexte et l'intention. L'expansion diacritique se charge des variantes orthographiques.
Cela impacte-t-il directement mon classement SEO ?
Indirectement. Cette expansion *harmonise* les résultats mais n'améliore pas intrinsèquement le classement.
