Frequently asked questions
- Why can't I use the standard GSC interface export?
- Because the tool needs Query and Page in the same rows of one file, and the GSC interface exports queries and pages as separate lists. You need a query-by-page export, for example from the GSC API, the GSC Data Exporter tool, or Looker Studio. Column names are auto-detected ('Top queries', 'Query' or 'query', and similar variants for page, clicks and impressions) and can be remapped manually.
- Why is it suggesting a keyword that is already in my title?
- A query only counts as covered when one of its individual words exactly equals an entire delimiter-separated title segment. With the title 'Blue Widgets | Acme' split on '|', the segments are 'blue widgets' and 'acme'; the query 'blue widgets' has the words 'blue' and 'widgets', neither of which equals a whole segment, so it is flagged as missing. Titles made of multi-word segments therefore produce false positives; single-word segments match correctly.
- Which keywords make it into the suggestions?
- Only queries with at least one click. Zero-click, impressions-only queries are excluded, then remaining suggestions are sorted by clicks and capped at your max per page setting (3 to 20, default 10). If you want to target high-impression keywords you do not yet get clicks for, this tool will not surface them.
- How does the brand exclusion work?
- It is a substring filter: any query containing the brand text (case-insensitive) is removed entirely, and title segments containing it are dropped from the coverage check. Short brand names can over-filter, for example a brand called 'Max' would remove the query 'air max 90'.
- My CSV will not load. What encodings are supported?
- Both files are read as UTF-8 first with an automatic retry as Latin-1, which covers standard Screaming Frog and GSC exports. Files in other encodings (for example UTF-16 exports from some spreadsheet tools) should be re-saved as UTF-8 CSV.
