5 W’s can be used to filter for Intent. Try exporting Phrase Report or Related Terms, then sort by the presence of “W” words.
What “What do I do about…” or “What is…” = issue and solution-seeking (TOF)
Why “Why is my…” or “Why does…” = issue or consideration (ToF or MoF)
How “How do I…” or “How does…” or “How far…” = issue or consideration (ToF or MoF)
Who “Who makes…” or “Who sells..” = consideration and comparison (MOF)
When “When will it arrive..” or “When will it open…” = trust-building and transaction (BoF)
Where “Where can I get…” or “Where is…” = negotiation and transaction (BoF)
How “How far is…” or “How do I return…” or “How many…” = negotiation (BoF)

Don’t be a zombie. Don’t chase the Algorithm. Your arm’s too short to box with God (or Google). Unless you can use up domains like tissues. Most brands want to be built, not burned.
