Do people searching for certain keywords want to buy or are they just looking for info — how do you figure out the intent?

i wrote an article on 'weight loss' but searchers wanted 'weight loss supplement buy' then then I made an e-commerce page and the rakning was high. intent really matters.

look at the search results, do what's there and anyway if there are info pages write an article; if there are product pages, do e-commerce.

Search Intent Types: 1. Navigational: 'facebook' → Facebook site 2. Informational: 'how to repair iphone' → Blog article 3. Transactional: 'buy iphone' → E-commerce 4. Commercial: 'best phone' → Review/comparison Determine the intent of the keyword → choose the page type

Determining intent: 1) Search the keyword on Google. 2) What type are the top 10 results? (blog, shop, wiki). 3) If mostly blogs: write an article. 4) If mostly shops: product/category page. 5) If mixed: hybrid (blog + CTA to product).

Saved.

Let me summarize the topic, since several different answers were given. Discussing numbers without verifying the measurement setup is a waste of time.

If I were you, I'd go this route.

Let me write how it's done in practice. Speed is a threshold issue; if you're already fast making it faster changes nothing.

If you get three different answers on a topic, the question was asked wrong.

sorry, but this doesnt apply in every case. taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.

when we decide without measuring, we always end up in the same place.

the discussion got scattered, let me summarize and i mean any comment made without a control group is just a guess.

I felt relieved reading this answer, so it's not just me. Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix.

You're right.

I agree, and I'd like to emphasize that. Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.

Any comment made without a control group is just a guess. I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

i'll argue the opposite, don't get mad and honestly everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth.

correct me if I'm wrong.

I felt relieved reading this answer, so it's not just me. Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.

When we decide without measuring, we always end up in the same place.

I agree.

We need to take it step by step. The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.

If you post the result here, it will help others too.

This approach has a cost, which isnt discussed. Hasty decisions become decisions you have to fix six months later.

That's all sorry if I went on too long.

I have no experience with search intent, so I'm asking. Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.

People defend habits, not processes. Resistance comes from there.
