3 GSC SEO tips:

In Google Search Console → Add Filter → Query → Custom (regex):

🔴 Questions (informational intent):
^(who|what|when|where|why|how|which|can|does|is|are|should)\b.*

Example for a medtech dev firm: "how to build a HIPAA compliant patient portal"

🔴 Transactional intent:
\b(buy|price|pricing|cost|quote|rate|plan|subscribe|book|appointment)\b

Example: "custom EHR software development cost estimate"

🔴 Comparisons:
\b(best|top|review|compare|comparison|alternatives?)\b

Example: "best healthcare app development companies for startups"

These regex filters are a quick way to see top-of-funnel (TOFU) vs bottom-of-funnel (BOFU) queries.

To limit them to long tail keywords, add this to the end:
(?:\s+\S+){5,}

For example to filter questions with 6 words or more:
^(who|what|when|where|why|how|which|can|does|is|are|should)\b.*(?:\s+\S+){5,}

Replace the 5 with your # of choice.
