A lot of content writers, marketers, and even blog owners take the wrong approach when it comes to optimizing for user intent. Millions of people use the Google search bar on an everyday basis. Some are seeking solutions to their problems, while others are basically looking for information.

For these people to discover your business, blog, or website, you must optimize for their intent. User intent is someone’s specific intention for using the search bar.

In this tutorial, we will talk about what user intent is and how to make it work for you.

More on User Intent

Different individuals have different definitions for user intent. But the term is generally accepted as “The purpose or intent of a user when scrolling through the web”. A user may use the search engine to seek solutions to a problem or information regarding a certain interest. In this case, we consider the search query problem-based or informational.

With different search queries being given to search engines on a daily basis, these search engines are tasked with the job of providing the best results for these queries.

Search engines cannot completely read and understand web pages. So marketers and content creators must find ways to connect their target keywords to user intent.
