What new keywords has my site started to rank for?

Written by Nick Swan. Updated on 31, July 2025

Looking for new content ideas?

As you publish new content on your site and Google improves it’s understanding of the relationships between topics and keywords, your website will continue to rank for new keywords each day.

Regularly reviewing these keywords will help you find new topics and sub-topics that you can create content around.

With this in mind, SEOTesting.com has the ‘New Keyword’ report. This displays the keywords the site has started to rank for over the last 7 days. You can find this report linked in the Reports section of each site.

You will also get an email once a week, when a full week of new data is available from Search Console, with the top new keywords by impression discovered.

The ‘New Keywords’ report shows you queries to base new content on.

If you are running a site that publishes a lot of content, this may be quite a big list. Reviewing the new keywords will show up many that are already associated with current pages – but you’ll also find some keywords that make sense to address in new content.

I’d suggest reviewing this report once a week, and saving new keyword ideas to the Saved Ideas area.
