Managing keyword lists
Save, organize, and manage your keyword research results with saved lists for easy access and export.
Save, organize, and manage your keyword research results with saved lists for easy access and export.
Keyword lists belong to the selected client workspace and are shared with organization members who can access that client. Confirm the client before saving, because a list is not an organization-wide clipboard and cannot substitute for correct client access.
Saving keywords to a list
After running any research mode, you can save keywords to a named list for later reference. Select the keywords you want to keep, then click Save to list and choose an existing list or create a new one.
Use a name that captures the topic, market, intent, or source, such as “US commercial HVAC gaps.” Before saving, remove irrelevant and accidental duplicates. Rankability can show which results are already saved so you can avoid adding the same keyword repeatedly.
Working with saved lists
View lists — Access your saved lists from the Researcher sidebar or the lists tab.
Add keywords — Keywords can be added to existing lists from any research mode.
Remove keywords — Open a list and remove individual keywords you no longer need.
Delete lists — Remove entire lists when they are no longer relevant.
The Content badge means Rankability found a Copywriter project in the same client whose normalized topic exactly matches the keyword and whose saved draft is non-empty. Normalization ignores capitalization and repeated spaces; it does not perform fuzzy, synonym, URL, or semantic matching. The linked project is the most recent exact match. A related article with a different topic can therefore exist without producing the badge.
Using keywords from lists
Saved keywords can be used across Rankability:
Create content — Use a keyword from your list as the target topic for a new Copywriter project.
Create a content batch — Select multiple keywords and choose Send to Copywriter to open the multiple-asset setup with the selected rows already populated.
Set up tracking — Add keywords from your list to Track for rank monitoring.
Share with your team — Lists are visible to all team members in the same agency workspace.
Recommended list workflow
Select only the qualified rows and choose Save to list.
Create a focused list or add the rows to an existing list with the same purpose.
Open the list, remove mistakes, and verify the keyword count.
Use Create content for one keyword, or select several and choose Send to Copywriter for a multiple-asset batch.
Export when you need an external review or durable handoff.
Copywriter accepts up to 100 valid topics in one batch. Before starting paid work, remove duplicates, confirm the shared language, and choose the intended page format for every row. A prefilled table is a handoff of the selected keywords—not approval to generate every asset unchanged.
Deleting a keyword removes it from the list, not from completed research history or an existing Copywriter/Track project. Deleting a list removes that organizational view; it does not cancel work already created from its keywords.
Limitations and common issues
A list is missing — Verify the selected client and your access, then clear list filters.
A keyword still shows as saved — It may belong to another list in the same client. Open the lists view to locate it.
A Content badge is missing — Confirm the Copywriter project belongs to the same client, has a non-empty saved draft, and uses the same topic wording. Similar phrases do not count as exact matches.
A teammate cannot see the list — Confirm they have access to the client; use Managing team and client access.
The next workflow uses the wrong client — Return to the intended client before creating a project. Never rely on the list name alone.
The Copywriter table is empty — Return to the saved list, reselect the intended rows, and use Send to Copywriter again. Confirm that the Copywriter URL and header still show the same client before entering the batch.
Metrics changed since the list was created — Saved lists preserve keywords, not a guarantee that provider metrics remain current. Re-analyze when a current decision requires fresh data.
