What the Search Intent Classifier does
Sort search queries into likely intent categories using the words in each phrase. Use the classification as a starting point when deciding what kind of page could answer the search.
This section explains the common intent categories and how the wording of a query hints at which one applies.
Why the Search Intent Classifier is useful
The same topic can represent different needs: someone may want an explanation, a product, a comparison, or a specific website. Grouping query intent helps make those differences visible.
Intent sorting helps most when planning a batch of pages, so each one can be shaped for its query type.
Also known as: search intent classifier, keyword intent tool, search intent analysis, free search intent classifier, online search intent classifier, search intent classifier online free, search intent classifier tool.
