On-Page SEO

Search Intent

Search intent is the task or outcome a searcher is trying to satisfy with a query.

Search intent shapes what a page needs to be. A definition, checklist, comparison, local result, and product page solve different searcher problems.

Intent alignment affects page structure, title tags, examples, calls to action, and the depth of content required.
