Track New Search Queries with Zero-Click Analysis in Google Search Console

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.

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.
