Incorporate User Intent Into Your Keyword Strategy

July 1, 2014 by James Seymour

Tweet

user intentSEO professionals count keyword research as among the foundations of a solid SEO strategy. That strategy, however, can still be incomplete when user intent is not considered. While most SEO professionals are familiar with user intent, too few of them actually use it, which is unfortunate because it’s crucial to the improvement of the very foundation of SEO campaigns.

Perhaps its intangibility in cyberspace is what makes SEO professionals ignore user intent, but what SEOs should realise is that every search made on Google has some kind of intention attached to it. Users want to know a lot of things — from product reviews to answers to just about any question they want to ask. When you understand user intent and you incorporate it into content for your SEO strategy, you are more likely to make an immediate connection with the user. In the long run, you will be able to establish yourself as a trustworthy resource.

According to Dr. Mark D. Griffiths, Chartered Psychologist and Director of the International Gaming Research Unit in the Psychology Division at Nottingham Trent University (UK), any behaviour that fulfils what he calls the six core components of addiction can be already called an addiction. Let’s talk about those core components one by one and let’s see if they are applicable vis-à-vis your Facebook usage.

If you heavily depend on modern technology to keep in touch with friends and family, apply for a job, do your banking, shop for stuff, keep yourself entertained and even pick up gossip about your favourite celebrities, then you are leading an e-ife.
