Welcome back.

00:01.230 --> 00:07.790
So let's learn about search intent by looking at what keywords people are using in their searches.

00:07.800 --> 00:11.680
We can ask the question, why are they searching for this?

00:11.700 --> 00:15.300
In order to understand the intent behind the search.

00:15.810 --> 00:23.490
So if there's someone that searches for our home workouts really effective, for example, then notice

00:23.490 --> 00:30.480
that all of the results we're getting here are going to be websites that lead to a content page that

00:30.480 --> 00:34.140
tries to answer the question or homework that's really effective.

00:34.170 --> 00:40.620
Now, the reason for this is because of all of these websites have understood the intent behind this

00:40.620 --> 00:41.280
keyword.

00:41.280 --> 00:44.160
There is a so called curiosity intent.

00:44.190 --> 00:50.220
This search indicates that there is a question and they want that question answered and their curiosity

00:50.220 --> 00:50.940
fulfilled.

00:50.940 --> 00:55.080
And that is what all of these different search results aim to do.

00:55.080 --> 01:00.210
So that is fulfilling an intention from understanding it properly.

01:00.210 --> 01:07.110
So whenever there is a curiosity intent, you should always redirect them to a content page.

01:07.620 --> 01:15.610
But if the intent is different, let's say, for example, that the keyword was by home workout equipment.

01:15.630 --> 01:20.630
Now, once again, we can ask the same question Why are they searching for this?

01:20.640 --> 01:23.660
What is the intent behind this keyword?

01:23.670 --> 01:29.910
Well, we can tell that the intent behind this keyword is a purchase intent because it has the modifier

01:29.910 --> 01:31.350
by in the beginning.

01:31.350 --> 01:36.990
So when people are using a purchase intention in their keyword, we know that they're looking to buy

01:36.990 --> 01:41.460
something and that's why we want to direct them to a product page.

01:41.970 --> 01:47.070
So if you look at all the results we're getting, all of these results are going to aim you towards

01:47.070 --> 01:53.580
either an article that is going to link you to different products or a product page directly like Amazon

01:53.580 --> 01:58.770
is doing here, and that you're going to see plenty of results like Fitness Factory here, doing so

01:58.770 --> 02:05.220
by understanding what the intent is behind the keyword, we can always make sure that we create content

02:05.220 --> 02:11.190
and aim our pages towards the correct keywords to get the optimal results.

02:11.190 --> 02:17.280
And if you look at the lecture name that you're currently at, there will be a tab that says resources.

02:17.280 --> 02:22.560
Now, in these resources, you'll get a list with different modifiers that will show you when there

02:22.560 --> 02:29.910
is a curiosity, intent or a by intent, by supplying you with different, so called modifiers, for

02:29.910 --> 02:30.450
example.

02:30.450 --> 02:37.180
So if it says Should I buy homework out equipment now, you should no longer direct this keyword towards

02:37.200 --> 02:42.300
a product page because now this has a curiosity intent rather than a purchase intent.

02:42.300 --> 02:46.950
And different modifiers could be when should I is it effective to etc..

02:46.950 --> 02:52.440
And different purchase intents could be words like buy like we had in the beginning, which just says

02:52.440 --> 02:53.700
buy home equipment.

02:53.700 --> 03:01.170
It could say purchase cheapest, lowest price, etc. And we would know that all of those different modifiers

03:01.170 --> 03:06.900
are people who are searching with the intent of buying something, which means that we should bring

03:06.900 --> 03:08.850
them to a product page.

03:08.850 --> 03:13.680
So now when you're armed with all of this knowledge, it's time to put it into practice.

03:13.680 --> 03:19.740
In the next lecture, you will learn how to practically do keyword research so that you will know what

03:19.740 --> 03:26.490
keywords to optimize your website for and what modifiers you should use to try to rank different parts

03:26.490 --> 03:27.840
of your website.

03:27.840 --> 03:34.230
So we will be looking at our website, such as our blog posts that we have and also our product page

03:34.230 --> 03:39.600
to understand what sort of keywords should we be using, what sort of modifiers should we be using,

03:39.600 --> 03:42.510
and then optimize our website from there.

03:42.540 --> 03:43.740
Hope you're excited.

03:43.770 --> 03:45.660
See you in the next lecture.

03:45.660 --> 03:47.310
Let's do some keyword research.
