Search intent

Search intent is the "why" behind a search query. Understanding the user's intent is crucial for creating content that meets their needs and expectations.

The four main types of search intent are:

  • Informational: The user is looking for information.
  • Navigational: The user wants to go to a specific website.
  • Commercial: The user is researching a product or service with the intent to buy.
  • Transactional: The user wants to complete a purchase.

Search intent is a key component of any successful SEO strategy, as it can help to improve the ranking of your website in search results.
