How it works What the Keyword Grouping Tool does

Groups keywords under the most common meaningful word they share — every “boots” keyword together, every “socks” keyword together — with a heading and count per group. Quicker and looser than the cannibalization detector.

Groups keywords under the most common meaningful word they share, so every “boots” keyword sits together and every “shoes” keyword sits together, each group with a heading and a count. Stop words are ignored, and plurals are matched to singulars.

It is a quick, rough clustering for when you need structure in seconds. For page-level decisions based on overlap, use the Keyword Cannibalization Detector.

3 steps How to use the Keyword Grouping Tool

  1. Paste your list into the box above — one item per line. Keyword exports, crawl exports and spreadsheet columns all work.
  2. Check the settings and adjust them to your job — the result updates as you type.
  3. Copy the result and paste it wherever it needs to go. Nothing is uploaded, so client and confidential data stay on your machine.
