How-to filter blog posts from your Google Search Console results

If you want to look at Google Search Console results to see your impressions or clicks on your webpage, sometimes the blogs can overwhelm your results and make it hard to find your pages.

Using regex to filter pages in Google Search Console

Use regex. In the filter criteria:

  1. Click “add filter”
  2. Click “page”
  3. Select “custom regex”
  4. Change “matches regex” to “doesn’t match regex”
  5. Enter \d{4}|tag|category|page in the field
    • This finds pages with 4 numbers (if you’re using a year in your permalink) and pages with tag, category, or page in the URL and ignores them

Straightforward and helpful.
