[Keyword Management](https://help.nozzle.io/keyword-management?hsLang=en) # Should I organize my keywords into projects, keyword sets, or keyword groups? ## A little organization can go a long way toward more efficient usage. Organizing your keywords effectively can make it easier to gather the data you need and get better insights into how your brand is doing online. ### Keyword Groups Keyword groups are the **smallest containers** for keywords and should be used like categories. Use groups to organize keywords *within* your keyword set to get the most out of Nozzle. For example, if you are a pet store, you may want to make keyword groups for dog, cat, gerbil, collar, kennel, etc. Any keyword can be added to multiple keyword groups. Here is why you should you take the time to create descriptive keyword groups: - Sometimes it's more effective to see how a themed group is performing rather than trying to parse dozens of very similar keywords manually. - Comparing your keywords groups to each other or to the competition can provide more insights. - You can filter by group using the Keyword Group dropdown on any dashboard. - The [Keyword Groups dashboard](https://help.nozzle.io/performance-by-keyword-group-dashboard?hsLang=en) makes it easy to get the bigger picture on these groups. When you request a [PAA Content Idea Report](https://nozzle.io/paa) from Nozzle, you will need to use a single keyword set tracked daily and organize your keywords into keyword groups. ### Keyword Sets Keyword sets are **larger containers** for keywords. You will only need to create different keyword sets when you have different keyword sets that you want to track on **different schedules** (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) or if you want to use **[different keyword modes](https://help.nozzle.io/keyword-source-types?hsLang=en).** You can filter by keyword set using the Keyword Group dropdown on any dashboard and further analyze them on the Keyword Groups dashboard. ![](https://help.nozzle.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-15-2026-05-58-25-1925-AM.png?width=1460&height=1006&name=image-png-Aug-15-2026-05-58-25-1925-AM.png) It's *easy to compare* keywords from different keyword sets. ### Projects Projects are the **largest containers** for keywords and are meant for **different campaigns, clients, or entities** that you want separate from others. You **won't be able to compare data** from different projects in the same table or chart in Nozzle, but it's easy to switch between projects by clicking on the project name at the top left of any dashboard. ![](https://help.nozzle.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-15-2026-05-59-04-6291-AM.png?width=1362&height=944&name=image-png-Aug-15-2026-05-59-04-6291-AM.png) You can also view summaries for all your projects on the Nozzle home screen.  If you are an SEO agency, we recommend [creating a separate project](https://help.nozzle.io/how-do-i-add-a-new-team-for-each-of-my-clients?hsLang=en) for each of your clients. Otherwise, you can generally use either Sets or Groups to organize and track your keywords. Want to explore more?
