Searching, Filtering, Editing & Bulk Actions

Once you have keywords in RankTurn, the Keywords page becomes a working table you can search, sort, filter, edit, and manage in bulk — everything you need to keep a large keyword list organized.

Search & Filters

A search bar and filters sit above the keyword table.

• Search — Type in the search box to filter by keyword text. It's a partial match and ignores capitalization, so "image" matches "optimize images for web." Results update automatically as you type, after a brief pause.
• Intent filter — Narrow the table to a single search intent: Informational, Navigational, Commercial, or Transactional. Choose All Intents to clear it.
• Source filter — Narrow the table by how each keyword was added: AI, Manual, Imported, Google Search Console, or Series. Choose All Sources to clear it.

On desktop the intent and source filters appear as drop-downs next to the search box. On smaller screens they're consolidated into a single filters control. Search, intent, and source filters combine — for example, you can search "shoes," filter to Commercial intent, and AI source all at once.

For more on what each source and intent means, see Keyword Metrics, Intent & Quotas.

Sorting

Click any sortable column header to sort the table by that column. Click the same header again to flip between ascending and descending order.

Sortable columns:

When Google Search Console is connected, three extra sortable columns appear: Position, Clicks, and Impressions. A Change column shows recent position movement but is display-only.

Keywords with no value for the sorted column (for example, a keyword with no search volume yet) are always pushed to the bottom of the list, regardless of sort direction. Sorting applies across your whole filtered list and resets you to the first page.

Search-Volume Trend Sparkline

Next to the search-volume number, keywords that have monthly search history show a small line chart (a sparkline) summarizing the last 12 months of search volume. The line is green when the most recent month is at or above where the trend started and red when it has declined, giving you an at-a-glance sense of whether interest is rising or falling.

Hover over the sparkline to see a tooltip with the exact monthly figures, listed by year and month. This 12-month history appears only on keywords that already have search data.

Editing a Keyword

You can change a keyword's text directly from the table.

1. Hover over a keyword row and click the pencil icon that appears next to the keyword text.
2. Edit the keyword in the dialog that opens.
3. Click Save.

A few things happen on save:

• Metrics refresh. Because you changed the keyword text, RankTurn fetches fresh search volume, difficulty, CPC, intent, and the 12-month search history for the new term. The new wording is effectively a different keyword, so its old metrics no longer apply.
• The source is preserved. Editing the text does not change how the keyword was originally added — a keyword that came from Google Search Console or AI keeps that source label.
• Duplicates are blocked. If the new text matches another keyword you already track, the edit is rejected so you don't create a duplicate.
• No change, no work. If you save without actually changing the text, RankTurn skips the update.

Editing requires write access to keywords. If you don't have it, the pencil icon won't appear (see Team Roles & Members).

Bulk Actions

When you need to act on many keywords at once, use the row checkboxes.

1. Tick the checkbox at the start of each keyword row you want to act on. Use the checkbox in the table header to select or deselect every keyword on the page.
2. A floating action bar appears showing how many keywords are selected.
3. Choose an action:
   • Set intent — Pick Informational, Navigational, Commercial, or Transactional to apply that intent to every selected keyword in one step.
   • Delete — Remove all selected keywords.
4. Use the X in the action bar to clear your selection without taking an action.

Bulk actions also require keyword write access; the checkboxes and action bar are hidden for members who can't edit keywords.

Select-All Scope

The keyword table shows up to 100 keywords per page. The header select-all checkbox selects only the keywords on the current page — not every keyword that matches your filters across all pages.

If you want to bulk-edit or delete a large set, narrow the list first with search and filters so the keywords you want fit on one page, then use select-all. To act on more than 100 keywords, move to the next page and repeat. When some — but not all — keywords on the page are selected, the header checkbox shows a partially filled state.
