How to map your main customer journey phases with Keyword intent?

High effort
High impact

Mapping the main customer journey phases with keyword intent ensures that your content aligns with what users are searching for at each stage of their journey, helping to attract and engage them effectively while improving SEO performance.

How to do it?

You can start with the 3 stages of your customer’s journey: awareness, consideration, action and align each stage with relevant keywords that reflect the user’s intent.

To find the search intent of a keyword, I recommend using the tool SEMrush or Free keywords Generators. The image below shows how I map the different steps of the customer journey (1) with the different keyword intent (2) and what kind of keywords I am optimizing for (3).
