Finding your way around

Last updated 19 October 2026

Once you are logged in, KeywordsPeopleUse has a sidebar on the left, a top bar with a global search, and the main working area in the middle. This page explains what each part does.

The sidebar

  • Dashboard. The home page. It holds the New Search panel plus four summary cards: Recent Searches, Recent Lists, Recent Alerts and Recent Clusters. Each card has a View All link and a shortcut button (New Search, New List, New Alert, New Cluster).
  • Keywords. Expands to New Search, Lists (Keyword Lists), Alerts (Search Alerts) and History (Search History).
  • Clusters. Expands to New Cluster (the Keyword Clustering form) and History (your finished and in-progress clustering jobs).
  • Content Tools. Expands to Articles (drafts created by the AI Assistant), Search & Content Optimizer (the Google Search Console integration) and Legacy Content Optimizer (the older version of that tool).
  • Credits Left. How many credits remain this billing period and the date they reset. Pay As You Go credits are included in the number. See Understanding credits.
  • Settings. Your plan, API key, team, password and account deletion. See Account Management. Settings is hidden while you are working inside someone else's team account.
  • Your name and plan. Click it to Switch Account between your own account and any teams you belong to, or to Logout.

The ‹ arrow next to the logo collapses the sidebar down to icons.

The top bar

  • Search keywords, lists, clusters, alerts… is a global search across everything you have done. Type at least two characters to see matches grouped by Keyword Searches, Lists, Clusters and Search Alerts. The keyboard shortcut is ⌘K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows.
  • Resources links to our SEO guides, quick tips, glossary and managed service pages.
  • Help opens this help centre (Help Docs) or the Contact page.
