What if your Google Search Console data could tell you exactly what to do next?
Most SEO professionals face the same nightmare: Google Search Console gives you 50,000 keyword-URL combinations, but zero guidance on which pages to fix first, which content to merge, or where to build internal links. You're drowning in
metrics but starving for clarity.
This presentation reveals the architectural insight that changes everything: store granular, aggregate on-demand.
The Problem Every SEO Tool Gets Wrong:
Traditional analytics tools aggregate data too early. They show you "Page A has 7,000 impressions" and stop there. But that single number hides 50+ individual keyword-URL relationships, each with its own position, CTR, and opportunity cost.
By aggregating upfront, these tools make it impossible to detect keyword cannibalization, dead content patterns, or internal linking opportunities.
The Breakthrough:
We built a data model where every keyword-URL-date combination is stored independently in what we call ContentSnapshot. One URL ranking for 50 keywords creates 50 discrete relationships. This granularity unlocks three powerful automated
analyses:
1. Overlap Detection - When two URLs rank for the same keyword, compare their CTR and create a MERGE task on the worse performer
2. Dead Content Identification - Find pages with impressions but zero engagement, but preserve any unique keywords they own
3. Opportunity Keywords - Detect high-impression, low-CTR scenarios and automatically generate UPDATE and LINK tasks with related content suggestions
The Hidden Scale:
What looks like 1,847 URLs and 12,459 keywords becomes 167,234 individual snapshots. This massive relationship graph makes every question answerable:
- Which exact keywords are causing cannibalization?
- What anchor text should I use for internal links?
- Which pages belong in the same topic cluster?
- Where are my highest-priority opportunities?
From Data to Action:
Instead of "Page A has 1,623 impressions," users see "Task #276: Update H1 and meta (Priority: 85/100)" with:
- 12 related keywords (click any for Google site search of link opportunities)
- 3 specific pages that should link here
- Automatic topic clustering
- 0-100 priority score normalized across their entire domain
The Technical Innovation:
- Three SQL relationship patterns (1 keyword → many URLs, 1 URL → many keywords, related keywords → topics)
- Two-pass priority calculation for consistent 0-100 scoring
- Topic clusters that emerge from data relationships, not manual tagging
- SQLite with WAL mode for concurrent analysis operations
- Context-driven UX where every number leads to a specific action
The ROI:
10 hours saved per week (480 hours per year) by eliminating manual Google Search Console analysis, priority guessing, and internal link research. Built with Flask, SQLite, and the GSC API - no enterprise complexity, just results.

Google Search Console gives you data.
It doesn't tell you what to do.

The Hidden Architecture
Most tools think like this:
Content → Total Impressions
We built this:
Content ──┐
├─→ ContentSnapshot (keyword × URL × date)
Keyword ──┘
↓
Topic
One URL. 50 keywords. 50 relationships. 50 opportunities.
The insight: Every URL-keyword pair is its own story.

The Scale Most People Miss
Traditional view:
konfuzio.com/machine-learning/
└─ 7,000 impressions
Our view:
konfuzio.com/machine-learning/
├─ "machine learning" → 5,000 impressions @ position 15
├─ "AI basics" → 1,500 impressions @ position 8
├─ "deep learning" → 500 impressions @ position 3
├─ "neural networks" → ...
├─ "supervised learning" → ...
└─ (45 more keywords)
This granularity unlocks everything else.

How Content, Keywords, and Topics Talk
1. ContentSnapshot stores EVERY combination:
├─ URL A + Keyword 1 → 1,000 impressions @ position 5
├─ URL A + Keyword 2 → 500 impressions @ position 12
├─ URL B + Keyword 1 → 800 impressions @ position 8
└─ URL B + Keyword 3 → 300 impressions @ position 15
2. When we detect Keyword 1 on BOTH URL A and URL B:
→ OVERLAP DETECTED
→ Compare CTR: URL A (2%) vs URL B (0.5%)
→ Task: Merge URL B into URL A
3. When we see Keyword 2, 3, 4 all on URL A:
→ Group them into Topic "Machine Learning"
→ Show all related keywords in task detail

Pattern 1: One Keyword → Multiple URLs
SELECT content_id FROM ContentSnapshot
WHERE keyword_id = 42
→ Cannibalization detection (which URL should win?)
Pattern 2: One URL → Multiple Keywords
SELECT keyword_id FROM ContentSnapshot
WHERE content_id = 123
→ Context enrichment (what's this page really about?)
Pattern 3: Related Keywords → Topic Clustering
SELECT keyword_id FROM ContentSnapshot
WHERE content_id IN (
SELECT content_id FROM ContentSnapshot WHERE keyword_id = 42
)

Why This Architecture Is Massive
Without granular storage:
❌ "URL A and URL B compete" (but for which keywords?)
❌ "This page has low CTR" (but which keywords are dragging it down?)
❌ "Build internal links" (but using what anchor text?)
With granular storage:
✅ "URL A and URL B both rank for 'machine learning' (1,000 imp vs 800
imp)"
✅ "Position 15 for 'AI basics' (5,000 imp) has 0.2% CTR - fix the meta"
✅ "Use 'neural networks' as anchor: 3 pages rank for it, here's where"
Every question becomes answerable.

The Content → Task Flow
1. Store granular snapshots
↓
2. Detect relationship patterns:
├─ Same keyword, different URLs → MERGE
├─ High impressions, low CTR → UPDATE
├─ Zero clicks, low impressions → DELETE
└─ Related keywords → LINK
3. For each task, attach context:
├─ All keywords this URL ranks for
├─ All URLs that rank for same keywords
└─ Topic cluster this belongs to
4. User clicks task → Sees:
├─ "Merge into konfuzio.com/ai-guide/"
├─ "Related keywords: neural networks, deep learning, AI"
└─ "3 pages should link here" (click to see)
The data model does the thinking.

The Topic Layer: Automatic Clustering
Topics emerge from the data, not manual tagging.
When you view a Topic:
See all keywords in cluster
See all content ranking for those keywords
See opportunity gaps (keywords with no content)

What This Actually Looks Like
Dashboard shows:
?????? Domains: 5
?????? Content: 1,847 URLs
?????? Keywords: 12,459 tracked
?????? Snapshots: 167,234 (keyword × URL × date combinations)
One click on "Tasks" shows:
Task #276: UPDATE (Priority: 85)
URL: konfuzio.com/gpt-bedeutung/
→ 12 related keywords (click any → Google site search)
→ 3 pages should link here (click → open URL)
→ Belongs to Topic: "AI Terminology"
The scale is invisible until you need it.

The Real Win: Context = Action
GSC tells you:
"Page A: 1,623 impressions"
We tell you:
"Task #276: Update H1 and meta"
"This page ranks for 12 keywords (priority: 85/100)"
"Pages konfuzio.com/ai-guide/ and /machine-learning/ could link here"
"Click 'GPT' → See all pages mentioning it (potential link sources)"
"Belongs to Topic: AI Terminology (47 keywords, 23 URLs)"
Every relationship is one click away.

Questions?
Key Innovation: ContentSnapshot = keyword × URL × date unlocks all patterns.
Key Relationships:
One keyword → Multiple URLs = Overlap
One URL → Multiple keywords = Context
Related keywords → Topic cluster = Internal linking map
Result: 50,000 data points become 247 actionable tasks.
