Quality content always comes first. But content that is written naturally, for the audience, in an attempt to provide an answer to the intention of the user. That’s why generic content on a particular topic that ranked possible and well, even if it didn’t concentrate on the user’s intent in the search, found itself under attack by May Core Update. It is possible that Google it is getting better at identifying content generated by AI that is used to manipulate rankings, than that used to provide some value.

Thus, focusing on contextual relevance in the content, shifting the emphasis from the exact matching of keywords (especially from their overuse) and providing real value are the key to success.

If the answer is yes, then you are on the right path to respond well to the search intentions, and your content closely matches the intention of the users based on their query.
