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