Today we’re talking about one of my absolute favorite sewing tools, especially when it comes to sewing swimwear – my loop turner!

My loop turner makes my life infinitely easier when it comes to turning straps for swimwear, belt loops, ties, and things!

It’s much faster for turning straps than using a safety pin and will work for just about any straps you need to turn unless they are super long.

I have a short video tutorial below showing you how I use my loop turner to turn straps – but if you prefer the written version, that’s down below the video!

THIS is the loop turner I have (*affiliate link*).

Written Tutorial

Ok, let’s get into the tutorial!

For this tutorial I’m using a swimwear strap as an example – I made this strap with a strip of swimwear material and it has 1/4 inch elastic in the seam. So it just needs turned right sides out and it will be ready to use in a swimsuit!

The end of a loop turner has a small hook that is sharp enough to poke through fabric and it has a little piece of metal that flips up and down to either close or open access to the hook.

So the first step is to slide the loop turner into one end of the fabric tube, hooked end first. Scrunch the fabric around the loop turner until the hooked end is coming out the other end of the fabric. Make sure the hinged piece of the loop turner is down so that the hook is exposed.

Then hook the end of the fabric by poking the sharp end through the fabric. If your fabric is very thick and the loop turner can’t poke through, you can cut a small slit in the fabric to hook with the loop turner.

Next, start pulling the loop turner back down through the tube, pulling the hooked end of the fabric with it. At this point the hinged piece of the loop turner will be up to keep the hook from catching on other areas of the fabric. You may have to use your fingers to help get the fabric started going down through the tube.

Once the fabric has been started, it should be pretty fast and easy to just pull the end of the loop turner to pull the end of the fabric through the tube until it starts coming out the other end.

Once you can see the right sides out end of the fabric you can unhook the loop turner and just use your hand to finish pulling the whole thing right sides out – and you’ve got a beautiful strap!

That’s if you categorize your keywords based on the type of search intent—i.e., the general purpose behind the user’s search:

  • : Searchers want to find information
  • : Searchers want to find a specific site or page
  • : Searchers want to investigate brands, products, or services
  • : Searchers want to complete an action (e.g., make a purchase)

There are other keyword categories used in SEO. For example, local keywords are used to find nearby products or services. And long-tail keywords are highly specific search terms.

But analyzing keywords based on intent can be particularly helpful. Because it helps you understand how to compete on search engine results pages (SERPs).

The intent type assigned to a keyword can tell you if a searcher is looking to buy something soon, shop around, or gather information.

Let’s look at each of the search intent categories in more detail.

1. Informational

Informational keywords are search queries used by people who want to learn something.

Here are some informational keyword examples:

  • Coffee calories
  • National coffee day
  • What is the difference between cold brew and iced coffee

Tài liệu hướng dẫn sử dụng tms	Informational, Commercial

Informational keywords frequently (but don’t always) take the form of question keywords. This means they often start with “what,” “why,” “how,” and so on.

Google’s results for informational searches commonly contain featured snippets, which provide searchers with quick answers.

For example, here’s the featured snippet for the informational keyword “what is the difference between cold brew and iced coffee”:

Tài liệu hướng dẫn sử dụng tms	Informational, Commercial

Informational keywords are usually higher in the marketing funnel. This means that people are earlier in their buying journeys. And less likely to take action (e.g., make a purchase).

As a result, informational content tends to have a lower conversion rate. But it can help you build brand awareness. And become an authority in your niche.

2. Navigational

Searchers use navigational keywords to find a specific site or page.

When someone types a website or brand name into a search engine, they perform a navigational search.

Here are some navigational keyword examples:

  • Youtube
  • Semrush blog
  • Where is angelino’s coffee located

Tài liệu hướng dẫn sử dụng tms	Informational, Commercial

People behind these searches already know the company or product. And want to find the correct website or physical location to get to their products or services.

These keywords can be helpful sources of organic traffic when the brand or the site are well-known and popular.

You should naturally rank highly for keywords that contain your brand name.

3. Commercial

People use commercial keywords to research specific brands, products, or services. They may want to check reviews, compare products, or look for discounts.

You can target these keywords with comparison articles, listicles, reviews, or how-to articles. Depending on the specific keyword.

Here are some commercial keyword examples:

  • Free coffee
  • Dunkin iced coffee flavors
  • Peet’s coldbrew vs starbucks coldbrew

Tài liệu hướng dẫn sử dụng tms	Informational, Commercial

These keywords reveal a person’s intention to buy or take some form of commercial activity in the future. So they can help you to reach high-quality prospects.

4. Transactional

Transactional keywords are the keywords that show the strongest intent to buy or take imminent action.

These keywords can be targeted with paid ads and highly optimized product pages. Or other landing pages where users can take immediate action on a site.

Here are some transactional keyword examples:

  • Buy crypto online
  • Sandwich places near me that deliver
  • Pickup truck for sale

Tài liệu hướng dẫn sử dụng tms	Informational, Commercial

These searches can happen after someone has already searched for information, made a decision, and is determined to now take a specific action or make a purchase.

Transactional keywords often feature words like “buy,” “subscribe,” “for sale.” So, their SERPs often have Google Shopping Ads.

Like these:

Tài liệu hướng dẫn sử dụng tms	Informational, Commercial

Transactional keywords can also be called buyer keywords because they’re most likely to be used by a person at the bottom of the buying funnel. That means these keywords are highly valuable when doing keyword research and planning an SEO or PPC strategy.

As a general rule, transactional keywords describe a product or service more precisely (“neon blue unisex watch,” for example). More general keywords (e.g., “men’s watches”) fit into the category.

How to Check the Type of Keyword Intent

The intent behind different keywords isn’t always obvious.

For example, are most people searching “apple” looking for information about the fruit? Or trying to navigate to the technology brand’s website?

One way to understand search intent is to analyze the SERPs to see what type(s) of results Google displays.

Here, we can see that Google predominantly ranks information about the brand. So “apple” is a navigational search in the U.S.

Tài liệu hướng dẫn sử dụng tms	Informational, Commercial

Some keywords have mixed intent. Meaning that there’s a strong divide between the results searchers want.

For example, the first page of Google’s results for “coffee beans” provides commercial and informational results.

Tài liệu hướng dẫn sử dụng tms	Informational, Commercial

With Semrush, you can quickly reference the type of search intent keywords have.

All you have to do is look for the “Intent” box or column in any keyword-related report.

The intent type might be abbreviated like so:

  • I = Informational
  • N = Navigational
  • C = Commercial
  • T = Transactional

Tài liệu hướng dẫn sử dụng tms	Informational, Commercial

To assign an intent type to each keyword, Semrush looks into a few factors:

  • SERP features in keyword search results (e.g., featured snippets)
  • The presence of words in the keyword that indicate the user’s intention (e.g., “buy,” “address,” “how”)
  • Whether the keyword is branded or not

You’ll see keywords that include your seed keyword (or a close variation) along with various data.

Check the “Intent” column to see whether each query is informational, navigational, commercial, or transactional. Or a combination.

Tài liệu hướng dẫn sử dụng tms	Informational, Commercial

Transactional and commercial keywords are going to have the highest purchase intent, so these generally make better targets for paid advertising. Or for pages where your visitors can directly buy or take action on your site.

To see only these keywords, apply the relevant “Intent” keyword filter(s) to your table.

Should I Target Every Type of Keyword?

Use a combination of all four types of keywords to improve your SEO by targeting different stages of the customer journey. But make sure to prioritize based on your business goals.

Tip: to get an idea of the best ratio.

Here’s a customer journey example involving all keyword categories:

  1. Informational: Someone searches “what is a coffee dripper” and reads your blog post
  2. Commercial: They’re interested in buying, so they search “best coffee drippers” and read your comparison guide
  3. Transactional: They’re ready to buy, so they search “buy ceramic coffee dripper” and land on your product page
  4. Navigational: They liked buying from your brand, so they search “[BRAND] coffee filter paper” when they need a refill

Generally, transactional and commercial keywords are often best for PPC ad campaigns. If competitors bid on keywords including your brand name, you might want to focus on navigational search, too.
