Rising Queries lists the search terms whose clicks or impressions are growing fastest period on period, broken down by row. It is your early-warning radar for emerging demand: the queries worth doubling down on with content and on-page optimisation before competitors catch up.
What it tracks
This card reports Rising Queries, broken down by row: one row per query showing the largest positive movement in clicks (and impressions) when the current period is compared against the prior period, drawn from Search Console Performance query data. Unlike a static top-queries list, this surfaces momentum rather than absolute size, so a small-but-fast-growing term ranks above a large-but-flat one. Use it to spot seasonal demand turning on, a new product or topic gaining organic traction, or a recently published page starting to rank. Pair it with New Queries to separate genuinely new terms from existing ones accelerating, and with Average Position to see whether the rise is ranking-driven or demand-driven.Reconciling against the source
Cross-check in Search Console under Performance on Search, opening the Queries tab and using the Compare date mode to sort by the largest click or impression difference between two periods; the Search Analytics API withdimensions=["query"] over two date ranges returns the same comparison. Search Console data is typically 2 to 3 days delayed, rare queries are anonymised (so very long-tail risers may be hidden), and query tables cap at 1,000 rows.
