Query intent
The job a buyer is trying to get done with a prompt (discover, compare, trust, etc.).
Definition
BatSignal groups prompts by intents such as discovery, comparison, problem/solution, use case, and trust—so content fixes map to how buyers actually ask.
In practice
- Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
- Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
- Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
