# Search Console Query Review

Turn query and page performance data into evidence-based research, refresh, internal-link, consolidation, snippet, technical, or monitoring actions.

## Usage note

Use Search Console data as evidence of Google Search visibility and clicks, not as a complete record of demand, ranking causes, or user satisfaction. Preserve filters and comparison context.

## How to use this template

1. Save property, filters, periods, export, releases, and technical context.
2. Group queries by real reader intent and map them to current and intended pages.
3. Inspect each page's usefulness, evidence, snippet, internal links, and overlap.
4. Separate observations from hypotheses and choose the least speculative action.
5. Annotate implementation and recheck page-query behavior with qualitative evidence.
