Ever wondered how the true purpose behind a search query can change in the blink of an eye? Join me, Ed Dawson, as we unlock the mysteries behind intent shift and question shift in the realm of SEO. Imagine searching for "Christmas trees" in November with the intent to buy, but by January, that same search might be about disposal methods. This episode dives into how Google adapts to these changing user intents by monitoring behavior and click patterns, ensuring the search engine serves you the most relevant results at all times.

We also tackle a fascinating discussion among SEO experts about whether intent shift involves changes in keywords themselves over time. Using real-life examples from broadband.co.uk, I'll explain how user queries evolved from basic informational searches about broadband in the early 2000s to more nuanced queries as broadband became ubiquitous. Whether you're a seasoned SEO professional or just starting out, this episode is packed with insights and practical tips to help you refine your SEO strategies in line with these evolving user behaviors. Tune in and transform your approach to meet the ever-changing needs of your audience.
