Can bad html code hurt your website from ranking ?

[seoanalytics]

Hello,For example if I search for “ Bike Tours in France” I am looking for a page with a list of tours in France.Does it mean that if my html doesn’t have list * in the code but only that apparently doesn’t have any semantic meaning for a search engine my page won’t rank because of that ?Example on this page : https://bit.ly/2C6hGUn According to W3schools: "A semantic element clearly describes its meaning to both the browser and the developer. Examples of non-semantic elements: <div> and - Tells nothing about its content. Examples of semanticelements:

<form>, , and- Clearly defines its content."Has anyone any experience with something similar ?Thank you,

</form>

I head a lot of clients with errors like this, it never caused google not to rank the content...
