πŸ” What Is Search Intent & Why It Matters

Search intent is the goal behind the search query.

It answers the question:

“What does this user actually want to do?”

🎯 When content meets that intent, users take action. When it doesn’t, they bounce.

🎯 Types of Intent: Navigational, Informational, Transactional

🧭 Here are the three core types of search intent:

  • πŸ” Informational β€” User wants to learn
    Example: β€œWhat is digital media?”
  • πŸ“ Navigational β€” User wants to find a specific brand or page
    Example: β€œMark Digital Media contact”
  • πŸ’³ Transactional β€” User is ready to act or buy
    Example: β€œHire a digital marketing agency near me”

Matching content to the correct intent drives better SEO, lower bounce rates, and higher ROI.
