Tools for Fast Search Query Analysis

I rely on Search Console to understand a site’s organic visibility on Google. In my experience, third-party tools miss roughly half of Search Console’s data, especially now that queries are becoming longer, more diverse, and less predictable.

This keyword shift means researching organic search queries (and opportunities) has never been more important. Search Console provides filters to help, but they take time to review each page separately.

Here are three Chrome extensions that streamline query analyses in Search Console.

Query Scout

Query Scout is a freemium extension that loads the search terms that produced organic traffic for any page on your site. The extension makes page-level analysis much quicker by eliminating the need to create manual filters for each.

Install Query Scout, grant access to your Search Console account, and then click the extension’s icon to see queries driving traffic to that page. The queries load in a handy window that overlays the page, avoiding the need to click elsewhere for the data.

The free option reveals a page’s search terms and the essential metrics for each: clicks, impressions, click-through rates, and average position. It also allows downloading the complete list as a CSV file.

A $29 one-time upgrade provides pre-built query filters:

• Phrased as questions,
• Commercial or informational intent,
• Comparisons,
• Longer than five words,
• Include numbers,
• Seasonal,
• Drive no clicks,
• Page rankings.

Find Real Prompts in Google Search Console

Find Real Prompts

Find Real Prompts in Google Search Console is a new, free extension that analyzes queries in Search Console’s Performance section and extracts longer ones that appear to be AI prompts. The extension doesn’t need access to your Search Console account. Just log in to Search Console and load the “Queries” data in the Performance section. Find Real Prompts will then pull the data from your browser.

Find Real Prompts also provides an interface to prompt ChatGPT to analyze the query list. Click “Send to ChatGPT for Analysis” and the extension will create this prompt:

I have a list of search prompts where [my website] appeared in Google search results.

Your tasks:

a. Filter out irrelevant prompts
– Remove any queries unrelated to [my product topics]

b. Identify the 50 most relevant prompts based on:
– High commercial or transactional intent (people comparing tools, looking for solutions, or intending to buy).
– Strong product fit for [my brand] [list a couple of topics]

c. Provide the final output as a table with the following columns:
– Search Prompt- Search Intent (Commercial, Transactional, Informational, Navigational)
– Reason for Inclusion (e.g., bottom-of-funnel, competitor comparison, strong product fit, purchase intent)

d. Rank the prompts from highest to lowest conversion potential (bottom-of-funnel first). Provide me with a CSV file. Here are my queries [insert list]:

The extension also provides a full CSV export, which includes:

• Category and, occasionally, intent,
• Keyword search volume,
• Notes on why it was detected.

Google Search Console Enhancer

Google Search Console Enhancer

Google Search Console Enhancer is another free extension that adds helpful, automated filters to Performance data, such as:

• “Low-Hanging Fruit.” Use the one-click “Highlight Low-CTR” filter to find queries ranking in positions 4–10 but with underperforming click-through rates, revealing immediate optimization opportunities.

• “Regex Template Library.” Access a collection of pre-defined, complex query patterns via regular expressions (e.g., “Question Starters,” “Long-Tail,” “Commercial Intent,” “Troubleshooting”). You can apply complex filters with a single click or copy the regex string for manual use.

Google Search Console Enhancer operates locally. It doesn’t require access to your Search Console account.
