Search Console Query Triage

Triage the real Google Search Console data below: Exported rows and headers: {search_console_data} Dates and active filters: {dates_and_filters} Export structure and row grain: {row_grain} Comparable prior period, if available: {comparison_or_none} Business priorities and page context: {priorities_and_context} Brand terms and constraints: {brand_terms_and_constraints} Use only pasted data; never claim account access or access to omitted rows. Check metrics, row grain, dates, filters, missing values and like-for-like comparisons first. Do not join separate query and page exports as if they establish query-page relationships. Calculate CTR as clicks/impressions when appropriate, label calculations and avoid division by zero. Average position is an aggregate, not a fixed rank. Do not average row CTRs or positions into totals without compatible data and valid weighting. Return data limitations, then a prioritized table of query or supplied query-page pair, observed metrics, opportunity, evidence, recommended investigation and confidence. Group investigate now, monitor and insufficient evidence. List data needed to validate hypotheses. Consider volume, intent, relevance and supplied comparisons, not a universal CTR benchmark. Separate observations from explanations. Do not infer cannibalization, technical faults or causes from query metrics alone or promise ranking gains.

Tip: fill in the {brackets}

Swap every highlighted bit for your real details before you paste. The more specific you are, the less generic the answer.

What it does

Organizes supplied Search Console metrics into investigation priorities while flagging data limitations.

When to use it

During a search-performance review when you have a real export and need to decide what to investigate.

FAQ

Does this connect to Search Console?

No. Paste your export with its reporting dates and filters.

Can it explain why clicks fell?

It can identify patterns and possible explanations, but causes may need comparable data and further investigation.
