To do so, click on the green button “Filter now” and specify how high the value should be 3 . In our case we selected “Intent Know: between 50 and 100”, so the Toolbox shows us keywords which are mainly informative 4 .

You can learn more about the background and why the search intention for long-term successful SEO is so important, from this article.Know: A user with a know query would like to know more about a specific topic.Know Simple: Queries which give a very specific answer, like a fact, diagram, etc.

and can be displayed in a relatively small amount of space the size of a mobile phone screen.Visit: This is about searchers who are, mostly, looking for a local business on their smartphone.Website: The website queries are search requests in which the user would like to go to a specific website or page on that website.Do: The user intention “Do” is about the searcher wanting to do something. Frequently it’s to buy something but sometimes it’s a download, install or other active process.

In the following table you’ll find all the ranking keywords found for the domain (or host, directory, URL) along with an estimation of their search intent. The four main search intentions, Know, Visit, Website and Do, along with the SEO-relevant sub-search intention Know Simple, are rated for each keyword on a scale from 0 to 100.

Since some keywords cover more than one search intent, there is no interdependence – so a keyword can receive high values for both Do and Know. You can also use the Quick filters to find the keywords with a specific search intent, or click on the green button “Filter now” to refine the filter options available.

1For example, we see that the keyword “kitchen taps” 1 has a strong Do intent: this means that people search mainly to buy this product, instead of learning more about its usage. This is confirmed by the Top-10 results ranking in the SERPs, which are all e-commerce websites.

2The situation is different for the keyword “Wallpaper steamer” 2 , which also has a strong Know intent, meaning that, perhaps before buying, users want to actually inform themselves on the topic. In the first page of the SERPs (show here in our mobile SERP breakdown) you can see that top top results are DO-focused but after the PAA box there are some informative pages, showing an opportunity to rank with a purely informative result.
