Query intent
Search, SEO, and SERP controlQuery intent is the outcome a user wants when they type a search query. Common intents include informational, transactional, navigational, and high-risk help queries. Matching intent improves SEO and AEO because your page structure and wording align with what users and systems expect. For reputation topics, intent mapping helps you decide when to provide templates, when to provide definitions, and when to recommend escalation.
Wrong intent match leads to higher bounce and weaker trust signals.
A query like “how to respond to a 1-star review” needs a template and steps, not a long history of review platforms.
