Pages Without a Topic

Indexable pages that don’t match any of the project’s topics.

Priority: None

Impact: Neutral

What issues it may cause​

These pages aren’t counted towards any topic’s coverage, so the Topics reports understate how much content the site has.

How do you fix it​

Review the pages with the most clicks first. Where several share a Nearest Topic, widen that topic’s keywords or description. Where they share a subject with no topic, add one. Pages such as legal or careers pages can be left as they are.

What is the positive impact​

Unassigned pages that earn traffic or AI citations point to a subject the site covers but hasn’t defined as a topic. Large groups of unassigned pages with the same Nearest Topic suggest that topic’s definition is too narrow.

How to fetch the data for this report template​

You will need to run a crawl for report template to generate report. When report has been generated and you have crawl id you can fetch data for the report using the following query:

Operation: query GetReportStatForCrawl( $crawlId: ObjectID! $reportTemplateCode: String! $after: String ) { getReportStat( input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode} ) { crawlUrls(after: $after, reportType: Basic) { nodes { pageTitle url nearestTopicName nearestTopicCosineSimilarity searchConsoleTotalClicks citationsCount wordCount level } totalCount pageInfo { endCursor hasNextPage } } } }Variables: {"crawlId":"TjAwNUNyYXdsNDAwMA","reportTemplateCode":"pages_without_topic"}
