Search Console Query Gap Note

Explain why visible search queries do not add to property totals without inventing missing keywords. The download provides a specific review process. It does not make decisions or act in an account.

What to provide

Same-window property totals, query export, filters, search type, aggregation and report freshness.

How it works

1. Lock identical dates, search type and filters. Preserve property and query table aggregation labels.
2. Sum only supplied query rows; show visible coverage, not complete attribution.
3. Read Google's privacy and aggregation notes. Mark the unallocated remainder unknown; never distribute it across guessed keywords.
4. Separate missing-query coverage from low CTR. Return a note and follow-up measurements, not an SEO penalty diagnosis.

The output

window | property impressions | visible query impressions | visible coverage | unallocated | aggregation caveat | next check

Worked fictional example

Property 1,000 impressions; visible queries total 300. Report 30% visible coverage and 700 unallocated. Do not invent a 700-impression keyword.

Checks and limits

Preserve source versions and original values. Unknowns stay unknown. Use a qualified reviewer for regulated, legal or hiring decisions. No send, share, account change, schedule, ledger update or payment is authorized. No live account test is claimed.
