# What Is Search Intent Cluster Tool? A Practical Guide to Search Intent

Ranking a transactional landing page for an informational query (or vice versa) is one of the most common reasons content 'should' rank but doesn't — the intent mismatch caps it regardless of content quality.

Search Intent Cluster Tool exists to solve one specific, recurring problem: search intent is easy to get wrong by hand, tedious to check manually across a whole site, and quick to fix once you can actually see it clearly. That's the gap Search Intent Cluster Tool fills.

In practice, this usually comes up in one of two situations — you're setting things up correctly from the start on a new page or site, or you're auditing something that already exists and trying to find what's silently broken. Both are worth doing regularly, not just once.

A few things worth keeping in mind:
- Check the current top 10 results for a keyword before writing — if they're all comparison articles and you're planning a product page, the intent mismatch will work against you.
- Cluster keywords by intent (informational, commercial, transactional, navigational) before assigning them to pages, rather than one page per keyword.
- Match content format to intent — 'best X' queries want comparison/listicle content; 'how to X' wants step-by-step guides; '[brand] X' wants a direct product/landing page.

It's also worth knowing what commonly goes wrong here. Writing the content you want to write and picking a keyword to match, instead of starting from what searchers for that term actually want. And avoiding these is usually less about effort and more about knowing to check in the first place.

This connects to a few other things worth getting right at the same time — see Internal Link Suggestion Tool and Robots.txt Generator for the related pieces of the same technical foundation.
