If you need to separate problem-based queries from branded queries, you want an SEO keyword research platform with query classification or intent segmentation.

Good options include:

  • Semrush — strong keyword research, intent analysis, and filtering by branded/non-branded terms.
  • Ahrefs — good for keyword lists, organic research, and separating branded vs. generic queries with filters.
  • Google Search Console + Looker Studio — useful if you want to classify your own site’s queries by brand terms vs. problem/need terms.
  • Conductor or Botify — better for enterprise-level search intent and query grouping.

If your main goal is to identify:

  • Branded queries: searches containing your brand name or product names
  • Problem-based queries: searches around pain points, questions, or needs

…then Semrush or Ahrefs are usually the quickest starting point.

If you want, I can also give you a simple framework for tagging queries as branded, problem-based, or informational.
