The Importance of Matching Intent in SEO

Matching user intent is crucial for effective SEO strategies, particularly focusing on bottom-of-funnel intent rather than high-volume keywords. Content targeting purchase or solution-oriented keywords is more likely to engage users ready to convert, allowing for more streamlined and template-based page creation without requiring extensive unique content. This targeted approach can lead to using as few as 415 words per page, simplifying the content creation process significantly. By contrast, a fixation on top-of-funnel keywords often leads to high competition and lower conversion rates, hindering overall SEO success.
