Keywords are helpful for the engines to know what the page is all about however
i believe search intent is equally crucial here if your content is relevant to the users queries then there is more likelihood of success in my opinion first one needs to know what the users intent behind the keyword is and then make appropriate content.

Keywords show what people are searching for, while search intent tells us what they actually want. I focus on both when planning SEO content, so the right keywords are targeted with content that matches user intent and has a better chance of ranking.

Search intent is important because the same keyword can have different expectations behind it. Understanding whether users want information, a comparison, or a solution helps you create a page that answers the query in the right way.
