SM drives traffic, but most comes through search engines – hence the term ‘Google it’! 

 

A high-intent audience are people that are more likely to take a particular business action, such as buying a product or service. So, essentially they are in the market for what they are searching for. 

 

Low intent audiences are those that are looking for information, and are not likely to commit to a purchase at that time. But of course they may use that information to buy in the future. 

 

If I search for ‘Florist that delivers on Sunday’ I’m likely to be in the market, so I’m in the high intent audience 

 

But a search for ‘flowers that smell nice’ is more likely to be low intent (although could become high intent quite quickly.)
