Buyer Intent

A subset of search intent indicating the searcher is ready or near-ready to purchase or hire.

Buyer intent queries include phrases like "best [service] in [city]," "[service] near me," "[service] cost," "[service] reviews," and "[brand] alternative." These queries convert at much higher rates than informational queries.

For local service businesses, the highest-priority pages are the ones targeting buyer-intent queries: service-area pages, individual service pages, comparison pages, and pricing pages.
