# What is Keyword clustering?

Keyword clustering is grouping search queries by the topic they belong to, so that a subject can be tracked and reported as one line instead of as a hundred individual queries. Each cluster carries the summed [impressions](/glossary/impressions), clicks and [average position](/glossary/average-position) of its queries.

Queries grouped into topics, so a cluster moves before any single keyword does.

## Why it matters

A site rarely ranks for one query per page; it ranks for a family of them. Reporting by cluster shows whether the family is growing, which is the question a content plan needs answered, while a query table only shows which member moved.

## How to read it

Clusters are built by rules or by similarity, and both leave an "uncategorised" bucket; its size is a measure of how well the clustering fits the site. Check that a cluster does not mix intents, because a topic that combines "what is" queries with "buy" queries will average two different behaviours into one number.

## In a Data Studio report

In a Data Studio (formerly [Looker Studio](/glossary/looker-studio)) report clusters are a computed dimension over Search Console queries: a table of clusters with keyword count, impressions, clicks, [CTR](/glossary/ctr) and position, a stacked chart of cluster visibility week by week, and a funnel of how the queries distribute across topics.

## Where to find it in Google Search Console

Not in Search Console: the clusters are built in the report from the Queries export under Performance, then Search results.
