intent-classification

name	intent-classification
description	Use when classifying keywords for content type matching. Each intent demands a different page type.

Intent Classification

Four intent types: informational, navigational, commercial, transactional. Match content to intent; mismatching loses both rankings and conversions.

Intent types

Intent	Example	Page type
Informational	'how to grade a card'	Blog, guide, tutorial
Navigational	'PSA card grading'	Brand/company page
Commercial investigation	'PSA vs BGS'	Comparison, review
Transactional	'PSA submission service'	Service page, checkout

Identifying intent

Read the SERP for the keyword:

1. Top 10 results all blog posts → informational
2. Brand homepage dominates → navigational
3. Comparison guides + reviews → commercial
4. Service pages + product listings → transactional
5. Mixed → user need is ambiguous; pick dominant pattern

Mismatching consequences

1. Optimize a product page for 'how to grade a card' → won't rank (Google wants blog)
2. Optimize blog for 'CardPrepAI pricing' → won't rank (Google wants pricing page)
3. Mixing intents on one page → ranks for nothing

Match intent → match page type → rank.
