Create stronger SEO content by targeting multiple keywords in a single document. Here's how it works and when to use it.

What Multi-Query Documents Do
Multi-query documents let you pull in more comprehensive SERP (search engine results page) data when creating an SEO Workflow document. Instead of analyzing results for just one search term, you can analyze up to five—giving you a richer, more nuanced view of how content ranks and what to include.
When you enter multiple queries:
-
The document pulls in results for each query (up to 20 top results per query).
-
You only use one search query credit, no matter how many queries you add.
When to Use Multiple Queries
Use multi-query documents when you want to:
-
Target a primary keyword and related variations. Example: how to clean sneakers and sneaker cleaning tips.
-
Compare intent across similar terms. Example: buy espresso machine vs. best espresso machines 2024.
-
Capture broad and narrow phrases. Example: content marketing and SaaS content marketing strategy.
Tip: Avoid adding too many unrelated or loosely related terms. The SERP results may vary too much to be helpful in a single document.
How Many Queries You Can Add
On the Starter and Professional plans, you can add up to 5 search queries per document.
Each query will analyze about 20 top-ranking URLs, so a 5-query doc can pull insights from up to 100 results (with some overlap).
Despite pulling more data, you only use one search query credit per document.
How to Add Multiple Queries
You’ll add queries when first creating your SEO Workflow document.
-
On the SEO Workflow dashboard, click New Document.
-
Type your first query into the input field.
-
Click the + icon to the right of the field to add a second query.
-
Repeat up to 5 total queries.
-
When you're ready, click Create Document.
