Search intent examples: understanding and applying the key principles

Definition and why it matters

Search intent is the underlying motivation that prompts someone to enter a query into a search engine. It’s not just about the keywords, but the real need or challenge the user wants to address. In SEO, understanding these intentions enables you to deliver content that truly fits, streamlines the user journey, and significantly boosts conversion rates. In a B2B context, anticipating the intent behind each query means attracting a more relevant audience and unlocking more business opportunities.

What are the types and their characteristics?

There are four main types of search intent:

• Informational: the user is looking for information, to learn or to understand a topic. Examples: “What is SEO?”, “How to generate B2B leads?”
• Commercial: the user is comparing solutions or offers. Examples: “Best SEO SaaS platforms”, “Top semantic analysis tool”
• Transactional: the aim is to take a specific action (purchase, sign up, request a quote). Examples: “Buy CRM software”, “Request a free SEO audit”
• Navigational: the user wants to access a particular page or service. Examples: “Incremys login”, “Incremys client dashboard”

Each type of intent fits into a stage of the customer journey and calls for a tailored editorial approach to guide the prospect towards conversion.
