Find keywords by search intent<\/h3>\n<p>Search intent is the reason behind a searcher\u2019s query. To rank high on Google, you\u2019ll need to match search intent.<\/p>\n<p>But, analyzing the SERPs for thousands of keywords manually can be incredibly time-consuming. So, a quick way is to use keyword modifiers like \u201cbest,\u201d \u201chow,\u201d and \u201cbuy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s say we have an ecommerce store that sells camping equipment. Here\u2019s how we would find keywords by search intent:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Enter a few broad seed keywords (e.g., camping, tent, sleeping bag, campfire)\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Go to the <strong>Matching terms <\/strong>report<\/li>\n<li>Add an <strong>Include <\/strong>filter for these modifiers (how, what, when, where, why, tutorial, tips)\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1088\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-21.jpg\" alt=\"Finding informational keywords using the Include filter in Keywords Explorer\" class=\"wp-image-168833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-21.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-21-680x361.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-21-768x408.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-21-1536x816.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1088\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-21.jpg\" alt=\"Finding informational keywords using the Include filter in Keywords Explorer\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-168833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-21.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-21-680x361.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-21-768x408.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-21-1536x816.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>This will show us a list of informational keywords we can create content for on our\u00a0blog.<\/p>\n<p>If we want to find commercial investigation keywords, we can simply add an <strong>Include<\/strong> filter for words like \u201cbest,\u201d \u201cvs,\u201d and \u201creview.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1112\" height=\"980\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-22.png\" alt=\"Finding commercial keywords using the Include filter in Keywords Explorer\" class=\"wp-image-168834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-22.png 1112w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-22-482x425.png 482w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-22-768x677.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1112px) 100vw, 1112px\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1112\" height=\"980\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-22.png\" alt=\"Finding commercial keywords using the Include filter in Keywords Explorer\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-168834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-22.png 1112w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-22-482x425.png 482w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/word-image-168812-22-768x677.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1112px) 100vw, 1112px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a id=\"post-168812-_nls8g5tn3u19\"\/>9.
