Keyword Insights
SEO Booster spreads keyword insights across several admin screens, not one legacy report page. Use this hub to find the right surface for each question, then filter, sort, and act on imported Google Search Console data inside WordPress.

Keyword intelligence
One import, many views
What is it?
The same Search Console keyword data, surfaced in the admin view that fits each task (table, chart, email, or batch tool).
Who is it for?
Site owners and agencies who need the right screen for trends, content gaps, cannibalization, or batch fixes.
What does it solve?
Hunting the same metrics in Search Console tabs. Pick dashboard, GSC Overview, weekly email, or Tools for the question at hand.
Match the insight to the screen
Stop hunting in Search Console
Each insight type below links to the WordPress admin path where you can filter, sort, or fix, without leaving your site.
Combine views for faster decisions
Spot a declining term in weekly email, confirm it in GSC Overview, then open the page metabox or SEO Possibilities to fix content.
Scale with Pro batch tools
When dozens of pages need meta or focus-keyword updates, Pro Tools batch scans and AI-assisted rewrites from GSC clusters.
Where to find each keyword insight
New and emerging keywords
Keywords that recently started driving impressions or clicks: expansion opportunities and proof that new content is gaining visibility.
- GSC Overview → Filter: New Keywords (Past 30 Days): last-visit date within 30 days; combine with Recent Activity (on by default)
- Weekly email → New keywords in the past 7 days section with link to dashboard
- Dashboard → keyword summary cards after GSC import
- Docs: /docs/reports/new-keywords/ (legacy article: see hub mapping)
Declining and stale keywords
Terms that used to bring traffic but have faded: refresh content before rankings slip further.
- GSC Overview → Filter: Keywords Not Seen (Over 30 Days); uncheck Recent Activity for full history
- GSC Overview → gray inactive rows and X days ago labels on the Query column
- Weekly email → keywords with declining performance section
- SEO Possibilities → per-page analysis may flag GSC-related decay checks
Top performers and top pages
Keywords and URLs with the highest clicks and impressions: double down where you already win.
- GSC Overview → sort by Impressions or Clicks (default: impressions, highest first)
- Dashboard → GSC chart and KPI scorecard at the top
- GSC Overview → Page column groups keyword–page pairs; use Edit row action to update winners
- Per-page GSC metabox → keywords for one URL, sorted by impressions
Cannibalization, CTR gaps, and long-tail opportunities
Advanced patterns: multiple pages competing for one query, low CTR at good positions, and striking-distance terms.
- Cannibalization → GSC Overview green/yellow dots on Query column; weekly email section; SEO Possibilities GSC cannibalization check
- Low CTR / striking distance → GSC Overview position filters (High 1–10, Medium 11–50); SEO analysis GSC checks in metabox
- Pro → Tools → GSC opportunities: scan low CTR, striking distance, high impressions/low clicks; batch-rewrite meta with AI
- Long-tail → GSC Overview Low Position (50+) filter paired with high impressions; Tools GSC opportunities clusters
How to use Keyword Insights
-
Connect GSC once
From the SEO Booster dashboard, connect Google Search Console via OAuth. Initial import pulls up to 90 days; daily sync keeps data current.
-
Start on the dashboard or GSC Overview
Scan KPI tiles and the chart for sitewide trends. Open GSC Overview for the full searchable keyword–page table with filters.
-
Drill into a single page
Edit any post and open the GSC metabox: filter by no clicks, content usage, and sort by impressions for that URL only.
-
Fix at scale
Open SEO Possibilities for prioritized issues across URLs. Use Tools for bulk meta, images, or Pro batch workflows seeded by GSC data.
-
Stay ahead with email
Enable weekly email in Settings → Email & Reports. Review trends, new keywords, cannibalization, and (Pro) top 404s without logging in daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a single Keyword Report page in the plugin?
No. Keyword insights are distributed across GSC Overview, the dashboard, the per-page GSC metabox, weekly email, SEO Possibilities, and Tools. This hub maps each insight type to the right admin screen.
Where do I find new keywords?
GSC Overview → Filter New Keywords (Past 30 Days). Also check the weekly email new-keywords section and dashboard summary cards after import.
Where do I find declining or lost keywords?
GSC Overview → Keywords Not Seen (Over 30 Days) with Recent Activity unchecked. Gray rows and days-ago labels also flag stale terms in any view. Weekly email includes a declining-keywords section.
Where are top performing keywords?
Sort GSC Overview by Clicks or Impressions. The dashboard chart shows sitewide trends. The GSC metabox on each edit screen lists keywords for that URL by impressions.
How do I spot keyword cannibalization?
Look for yellow competition indicators in GSC Overview, the cannibalization section in weekly email, and the keyword cannibalization check in SEO analysis / SEO Possibilities.
What about CTR and long-tail opportunities?
Use GSC Overview position filters for striking-distance terms. Pro Tools → GSC opportunities scans low CTR and high-impression/low-click pages and can batch-rewrite SEO titles and meta with AI.
Do I need Pro for keyword insights?
Core GSC import, GSC Overview, metabox, dashboard, weekly email (without 404 section), SEO Possibilities, and free Tools tabs work on the free plugin. Pro adds 404 monitoring, Pro Tools tabs, autolink conveniences, and AI bot blocking.
