Understanding search intent on Google is a great way to learn about current and prospective clients of home inspectors. It gives inspectors invaluable insight into clients’ needs, so inspectors can appeal to them with website content that addresses those needs. In the previous webinar, we learned about keyword intent and how people search. In this last Part 6 of the webinar series, let’s learn how to use keyword intent in your inspector website content strategy.

There are numerous ways in which people search to discover, explore, and buy services online, so we’re taking a look at the key motivators behind those searches to help you refocus your content and SEO strategy—and give prospective clients more of what they’re looking for, and less of what they’re not. In the previous webinar of this 6-part series, we learned what keywords are and how to choose the right keywords. In this Part 5 webinar, we’ll learn everything about keyword intent and searches.
