How it works

• Enter your keyword
• Click Analyze Intent
• See the real search intent instantly

Tip: If you’re still choosing a topic, start with a Keyword Suggestion Tool to find low-competition, high-volume keywords, then check their intent here before you write.

What Is Search Intent?

Search intent is the reason behind a search. It explains what someone wants when they type a query into Google—an answer, a website, a product, or a quick action.

When your page matches the user’s goal, people stay longer, trust your content more, and you’re more likely to rank well.

To understand intent, look at:

• the words in the query (what they ask),
• the purpose behind the search (why they need it), and
• The top results on page one (what content i

Types of Keyword Search Intent

Every search has a purpose. Some users want information, others want a specific site, and some are ready to buy. Knowing the intent helps you create the right content and improve SEO results.

The 4 main types are:

Informational Intent — the user wants an answer or guidance

Examples: “how to tie a tie”, “what is climate change”

Navigational Intent — the user wants a specific site or page

Examples: “Facebook login”, “YouTube trending videos.”

Transactional Intent — the user is ready to take action (buy, sign up, book)

Examples: “buy wireless headphones”, “kitchen appliances deals.”

Commercial Intent — the user is comparing options before buying

Examples: “best smartphones”, “espresso machine reviews”

Improve Content with a Keyword Intent Tool

SEO is competitive. Great content starts with one question: what does the user want? A search intent analyzer helps you understand a keyword’s purpose so you can create pages that match real needs and win more clicks.

It’s useful for both content planning and keyword research because it shows whether a keyword is meant for learning, comparing, buying, or finding a specific website.

What you can do with a keyword intent checker

Review competitor targeting by checking the intent behind their keywords

Next step: Group similar keywords by intent using the Keyword Grouper so you don’t mix different intents on one page.

How Keyword Intent Is Measured

Intent can be estimated by reviewing what Google shows on page one for a keyword in a specific country, especially SERP features and the types of pages ranking.

Extra signals can also help, such as:

• branded vs non-branded results, and
• How many top results look transaction-focused?

This helps you identify the dominant intent and spot any strong secondary intent worth targeting.

Keep improving: Compare your keyword strategy with competitors using the Competitor Keyword Analyzer, and track progress over time with the Keyword Rank Tracker.

Final check before publishing: Run the page through a Keyword Density Checker to keep wording natural and avoid overuse.
