# What is Unique keywords?

Unique keywords are the distinct search queries for which a site received at least one impression in a period, each counted once regardless of how many times it appeared. The number measures how wide a site's search visibility is, not how deep.

## Why it matters

Growth in unique keywords usually comes before growth in traffic: a page starts appearing for new queries at low positions, then climbs. Watching the count is a way to see SEO work paying off weeks before clicks move.

## How to read it

Search Console anonymises rare queries for privacy, so the count you can export is a floor, not the true total, and the gap is larger for small sites. Compare periods of the same length, and separate new keywords from lost ones: a flat total can hide a full replacement of the query set.

## In a Data Studio report

In a Data Studio (formerly [Looker Studio](/glossary/looker-studio)) report unique keywords is a scorecard with its trend, and a keyword analysis page that lists new, lost and improved queries between two periods, with the pages that gained or lost them.

## Where to find it in Google Search Console

Search Console: Performance, then Search results, then the Queries tab; the row count at the bottom of the table is the unique keyword count for the period.
