How to categorize keywords into topics

Group tracked keywords into Topics so Overview, Rankings, and exports can roll up by theme instead of one flat list.

Prerequisites

  • Project with SEO tracking and keyword.read / keyword.update as needed

Topics organize keywords into themes (product lines, funnels, content hubs). Assign or recategorize keywords so dashboards and filters can focus on one theme at a time.

Steps

  1. Open Projects → project → Rankings (or Topics if you manage topics from that view).
  2. Select one or more keywords with the row checkboxes.
  3. Open the toolbar More menu → Recategorize / assign topic (or use the Topics recategorize flow).
  4. Choose an existing topic or create a new topic name, then confirm.
  5. Filter Rankings or Overview by that topic to verify the assignment.

Outcome

Keywords appear under the selected topic. Topic filters and topic rollups on Overview / Topics use the new grouping. See Topics and keyword categorization.
