Search Term Groups (STGs) are how the Search Terms contained within your workspaces are organised.

STGs are a simple yet important tool when using Pi. Allocating search terms to STGs allows you to segment search terms into categories, intent, or relevance based on your business model and to easily locate specific terms within a workspace.

STGs can have a maximum of 10,000 terms within them in a single workspace, with no limit as to how many STGs a workspace can have; however, 12 is the recommended number for Visibility Indexes and reporting purposes.


How to add Search Term Groups to Workspaces

From the Workspace list, click the '+' to expand the workspace's STG list and click the blue 'Add new group' button:

In the pop-up:

  • Enter the search term group name

  • Description (optional)

  • Use the search function and tickboxes on the right to add search terms (optional)

Click ‘Save’:

The search term group is now in the search term group list:

Repeat as necessary for each search term group.


How to edit and delete Search Term Groups

To edit or delete an STG, choose the option in the Actions column on the right of the STG list:

Edit Group

From here, you can edit:

  • Name

  • Description

  • Which terms are included in the group using the search bar and tickboxes to tick/untick the necessary search terms

Click 'Save':

Delete Group

A prompt will warn you of any indexes that will be affected by deleting the STG before confirming. There is also a tick box to delete all the search terms in the STG from the workspace:

STGs can also be bulk deleted using the tick boxes and the 'Delete Groups' option from the 'Apply selection to' drop-down:

Warning: these actions are final and cannot be undone
