Google Search Console – Discover New Keywords (Last 7 Days)

This n8n template demonstrates how to identify new queries in Google Search Console that had no impressions in the past but appeared for the first time in the last 7 days.
It also segments them into two groups: queries with impressions but no clicks yet (Zero Click) and queries that already have clicks (Has Click).

Use cases include:

  • Finding emerging SEO opportunities.
  • Identifying keywords where you already get impressions but need to optimize for clicks.
  • Tracking newly discovered queries week over week.

Good to know

  • This workflow requires a connected Google Search Console account.
  • You can adjust the date ranges in the Compare search analytics node to suit your needs.
  • Works best when scheduled weekly, but in this template we start with manual execution for flexibility.

How it works

  1. Manual Start – Run the workflow manually to fetch fresh data.
  2. Compare Search Analytics – Compares the last 7 days against a custom reference period in Google Search Console.
  3. Filter (No Past Impressions) – Keeps only queries that had zero impressions in the reference period.
  4. Zero Click – Filters queries with impressions but no clicks.
  5. Has Click – Filters queries with impressions and clicks.

The final output is two clean data sets:

  • Zero Click queries: impressions but no clicks → improve meta descriptions, titles, or content relevance.
  • Has Click queries: new queries already generating clicks → consider creating supporting content and optimizing further.

How to use

  • Start with the Manual Start node.
  • Add your Google Search Console credentials in the Compare search analytics node.
  • Optionally, replace the Manual Start with a Schedule Trigger (e.g., weekly) to automate monitoring.
  • Export results or connect them to Slack, Email, or Google Sheets for reporting.

Requirements

  • Google Search Console account (with property access).
  • n8n instance with the Google Search Console integration enabled.

Customising this workflow

  • Adjust the date ranges in the compare node (e.g., last 30 days vs. previous 30 days).
  • Replace the output branches with integrations like Slack, Notion, or Google Sheets to automatically deliver keyword reports.
  • Extend the workflow with additional filters, such as filtering by CTR, country, or device.
