User intent simply means the reason behind someone's search or click. When a person types something into Google, they usually want information, to compare options, or to buy. Knowing this helps you create the right type of content. If someone searches "best budget laptop," they are likely ready to compare and maybe buy. If they search "what is a laptop," they just want basic information. Matching content to intent increases clicks and sales. How can content better match what people are searching for?
