Search Intent
Search intent (user intent) is the underlying goal a user has when typing a query into a search engine. Google classifies intent into four types: informational, navigational, commercial investigation, and transactional.
Matching search intent is the single biggest factor in ranking. A perfectly optimized page will not rank if it targets the wrong intent. Google analyzes SERPs to classify intent — if the top 10 results for a query are all blog posts, publishing a product page for that query will not work.
The four types: informational ("what is technical SEO"), navigational ("Indxel login"), commercial ("best SEO tools for developers"), and transactional ("buy Indxel pro plan"). Each requires a different page format, content depth, and call-to-action.
Before creating any page, search the target keyword and study the SERP. What format dominates? What depth of content ranks? What questions do People Also Ask show? Align your page to those signals.
