Extracted Question Keywords

    SEO Tip: Use these question keywords for FAQ schema, blog post headings, and People Also Ask optimization. Questions with 4-8 words tend to perform best for featured snippets.

    What Are Question Keywords?

    Question keywords are search queries phrased as questions. They usually start with words like "what," "how," "why," "when," "where," or "who." These keywords are super valuable for SEO because they match the natural way people search, especially when using voice assistants like Siri or Alexa.

    Google loves question-based content because it directly answers what searchers want to know. That's why you see the "People Also Ask" boxes showing up in almost every search result now.

    Why Extract Questions from Content?

    Pulling questions out of existing content helps you in several ways.

    • You can find gaps in your own content where you mention a topic but never actually answer the question.
    • You can analyze competitor content to see what questions they're targeting and answering.
    • You can build FAQ sections that match real search queries.
    • You can identify opportunities for featured snippets and People Also Ask boxes.
    • You can create content briefs based on the questions your audience is actually asking.

    Explicit vs. Implied Questions

    This tool finds two types of questions in your content.

    Explicit questions are the obvious ones that end with a question mark. Things like "What is keyword density?" or "How do I optimize my meta tags?"

    Implied questions are phrases that suggest a question without actually being one. For example, "how to write better headlines" or "the best way to build backlinks" are things people search for, but they're not technically questions. This tool recognizes common patterns like "how to," "best way to," "tips for," and similar phrases that indicate search intent.

    How to Use These Questions for SEO

    Once you have your list of question keywords, here's what to do with them.

    1. Add FAQ schema markup to your pages using the questions and answers you find.
    2. Use questions as H2 or H3 headings in your blog posts.
    3. Create dedicated content pieces that answer specific questions in depth.
    4. Optimize existing content by adding sections that directly answer common questions.
    5. Build internal links between related question-based content.

    The goal is to make your content the best answer for these questions so Google wants to show it in featured snippets and PAA boxes.
