Query intent
Query intent is the underlying goal behind a search, such as informational, navigational, or transactional, used to align content with what users actually want.
Query intent is what a user really wants when they search. If your content matches that intent, performance improves. If it misses, rankings and conversions suffer.
Main intent types:
- Informational (“what is social listening?”)
- Navigational (“Vista Social pricing”)
- Commercial investigation (“best social media scheduler”)
- Transactional (“book social media tool demo”)
Example:
A page targeting “social media report template” that only talks theory will underperform against a page that includes downloadable structure, KPI examples, and reporting tips users can use immediately.
