Introducing Query groups in Search Console Insights
27 October 2025 @ 7:00 am
We are excited to announce Query groups, a powerful Search Console Insights feature that groups
similar search queries. One of the challenges when analyzing search performance data is that there
are many different ways to write the same query: you might see a dozen different variations for a
single user question - including common misspellings, slightly different phrasing, and different languages.
Query groups solve this problem by grouping similar queries.
