Direct answer

Search intent analysis classifies each keyword as Informational, Commercial, Transactional or Navigational. Match the intent with the right page type (article, comparison, product, homepage) to have a real chance of ranking.

Key takeaways

Transactional keywords need product/category pages, not blogs.
'Best' and 'vs' queries need comparison content.
'How to' and 'what is' queries need long-form articles or tools.
Navigational queries usually mean the searcher wants your homepage.

Method

Each keyword is matched against a rule list of intent modifiers. The first matching rule wins. If nothing matches, it defaults to Informational.

How this tool works

Each keyword is checked against a signal-word rule list. Transactional signals (buy, price, near me) win first, then Commercial (best, vs), then Navigational (login, official), then Informational as the default.

When to use this

Before writing a new article, before mapping keywords to URLs, or when a page isn't ranking even though it's well-written.

Step-by-step

Export target keywords from Google Search Console or a keyword tool.
Paste up to 25 per batch (one per line).
Read the intent for each and the recommended page type.
Group by intent and plan one page per intent cluster.

Common mistakes

Writing a blog for a transactional query.
Optimizing your homepage for informational queries.
Ignoring 'near me' modifiers — those need local pages.

Frequently asked questions

What is search intent analysis?

It's the process of classifying what a searcher actually wants — information, comparison, purchase, or a specific site — and matching your page type to that intent.

How does a keyword intent checker work?

It scans each keyword for signal words (like 'buy', 'best', 'how to') and assigns the most likely intent. Then it recommends the type of page you should build.

Why does intent matter for SEO?

Google ranks pages that match intent. A product page will not rank for 'how to' queries; a blog will not rank for 'buy X near me'. Match the page type to the intent.
