What is AlsoAsked?
AlsoAsked is a keyword research tool that collects live People Also Ask questions from Google and shows how they branch from one another. Because these questions come from what searchers ask next, the tool helps writers and SEOs understand intent and plan content that answers real follow-up questions. It is made by Candour, a UK digital marketing agency.
Searches can target a country, city and language, and new questions can appear within hours of a news event. Paid plans add bulk searches, CSV and PNG exports, a Deep Search mode that returns around 150 questions per query, search history and API access. AlsoAsked also offers an MCP server and webhooks, so the data can feed AI assistants and other tools. The focus stays narrow on purpose, so it pairs well with a separate tool for volumes and rankings.

AlsoAsked FAQ
Is AlsoAsked free?
AlsoAsked gives a small number of free searches each month, so you can try it without paying. Regular users usually need a paid plan, which starts at $12 a month for 100 search credits. Higher plans add more credits and longer search history, and extra credits can be bought as needed.
What is AlsoAsked used for?
AlsoAsked is used to find the questions people ask on Google around a topic, based on People Also Ask results. Writers and SEOs use AlsoAsked to plan articles, FAQ sections and topic clusters that match search intent and cover the follow-up questions readers have.
Is AlsoAsked good for beginners?
Yes. AlsoAsked is very easy to use. You type a keyword, choose a location and language, and get a visual map of related questions. There are few settings to learn, which makes it a good first tool for content planning, though beginners will still need another tool for search volumes.
AlsoAsked vs AnswerThePublic: what's the difference?
AlsoAsked focuses on live Google People Also Ask questions and how they connect. AnswerThePublic draws on autocomplete-style suggestions from several platforms, including Google, YouTube and Amazon, and adds search volume, listening alerts and AI writing tools. AlsoAsked is cheaper and more focused on question intent.
Does AlsoAsked have an API?
Yes. API access is included on all AlsoAsked paid plans. It supports synchronous and asynchronous requests with webhooks, and documentation is available on the AlsoAsked developer site. There is also an MCP server so AI assistants can pull People Also Ask data directly.
