Why intent matters
Search intent determines what content format wins. An informational query ('how to optimize for AI search') wants a guide; a commercial query ('best SEO audit tool') wants a comparison; a transactional query ('buy geo audit') wants a checkout. Matching intent is the foundation of both SEO and AEO.
How to use the output
Use the primary intent to choose your page type and the suggestions to shape content. For informational intent, lead with a direct answer and question-style headings; for commercial intent, add a comparison table.

Common problems & fixes
Wrong page type for the intent
Fix: Match the page type to intent: guides for informational, comparisons for commercial, product/checkout for transactional.
Ignoring commercial intent
Fix: For comparison queries, add a comparison table and honest pros/cons rather than a generic feature list.
Intent drift over time
Fix: Re-check keywords periodically and update page type and content as the market and intent evolve.
