AI Search Strategy | Understanding User Intent
Posted by: Scott Lambert
This video emphasizes the importance of user intent in AI search optimization. It explains that AI, unlike traditional SEO, focuses on understanding why a user is searching for something, not just the keywords they use.
Key takeaways include:
- AI models evaluate content based on user intent, making it crucial for visibility in platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Copilot.
- Keyword stuffing is ineffective in AI search because AI looks for the underlying reason behind a search query.
- Content should be conversational and directly answer specific user questions rather than just including keywords. For example, instead of "best marketing software," focus on "which marketing software is best for small businesses."
- The mindset should shift from "ranking" to "resolving" the user's query.
