Search Intent
The underlying goal behind a user's search query — what they actually want to find, learn, or do.
Detailed Explanation
Search intent describes the reason behind a query: informational, navigational, commercial, or transactional. Matching content to the correct intent is essential for both traditional SEO rankings and for being selected as a source by AI answer engines, which try to match the intent behind a prompt to the most relevant page.
Why It Matters
AI platforms route a prompt to whichever type of answer fits the perceived intent. Misjudging intent means your content never gets considered.
