What is Search intent ?

What a person wants to do when searching: learn, compare, find a location or take an action.

The meaning

Search intent in plain language

Identify what someone needs next: an explanation, a comparison, a nearby provider or a purchase. Build content around that task and check whether the page gives a useful answer before asking for an enquiry.

A practical example

How it works in practice

“What is cold-chain logistics?” calls for an explanation, while “refrigerated transport quote” signals a more immediate service need.
