Search Intent Classification
Automatically labeling queries (informational, navigational, transactional, commercial) to guide page structure and conversion strategy.
Search intent classification labels queries by purpose—informational, navigational, transactional, commercial—so pages and offers match user needs.
Teams use intent to choose page types, CTAs, and funnel placement. It prevents mismatches like hard-selling to research queries.
Intent labels feed content briefs, routing to templates, and internal linking strategies. The outcome is higher relevance, rankings, and conversion.
