been testing a new workflow to nail down what locals actually type into search. instead of just grabbing high volume terms, i focus on verifying the actual user intent behind every query to boost
google maps visibility and ensure we show up in those new ai-generated summaries. u can use
ahrefs or even just check the related searches to find the exact phrases customers are using.
>always prioritize local intent over raw search volumeits less about broad terms and more about matching the specific way people ask for services nearby.
the real trick is checking how these keywords trigger ai answers . anyone else finding that
search intent matters way more than keyword density these days?
