Frequently asked
Where do I get the right People Also Ask questions?
You find them directly in Google search in the "People also ask" box, in tools like AlsoAsked, or in Search Console. Paste them into the prompt. Without your own questions, ChatGPT derives fitting ones itself, so check those against real search results.
Can ChatGPT know Google's current PAA questions?
No. ChatGPT doesn't see your live search results and guesses the questions from the language model. For real, current PAA questions, research them yourself on Google or in an SEO tool and paste them into the prompt. That makes the answers genuinely quotable.
