Search intent refers to the purpose behind a user’s query, or what someone hopes to achieve when they type a search into Google.
Most SEO strategies classify intent into four categories:
Informational – users want to learn something
Navigational – users want to find a specific website
Commercial – users are researching options
Transactional – users are ready to take action or buy
When your content matches the intent behind a query, search engines are more likely to rank it because it better satisfies what users actually want.
That’s why modern SEO research focuses less on keyword lists and more on intent alignment between queries, pages, and the customer journey.
