SERP Analysis
When to Use
- Analyzing search results for a keyword
- Classifying search intent
- Identifying SERP feature opportunities
- Competitive intelligence gathering
Intent Classification
Intent Types
| Intent | SERP Signals | User Goal | Content Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Informational | Wikipedia, knowledge panels, "what is" queries | Learn something | Guide, tutorial, explainer |
| Commercial | Reviews, comparisons, "best X" queries | Compare options | Comparison, listicle, review |
| Transactional | Product pages, shopping results, "buy X" | Purchase something | Product page, pricing |
| Navigational | Brand homepage, login pages | Find specific site | Homepage, login page |
Classification Process
- Search the keyword using WebSearch
- Analyze result types:
- All informational = Informational intent
- Mix of reviews/comparisons = Commercial intent
- Product pages dominant = Transactional intent
- Single brand dominant = Navigational intent
- Check for mixed intent (common for broad keywords)
- Note confidence level (% of results supporting classification)
