# Get the questions people also ask

> Type a keyword. We search Google live and pull out its People Also Ask box: each question, the answer Google chose and the page it took it from.

This is a free tool on the web page at https://www.manifoldmcp.com/free-tools/people-also-ask-tool: 15 runs a day per visitor, no signup, run by a person in a browser.

## Questions

### What is People Also Ask?

The box of related questions Google shows on many results pages. Each opens to an answer taken from a page, with a link to it, and it expands as people click.

### How do I get into People Also Ask?

Answer the question directly on your page, in the first sentence or two under a heading that asks it, and rank well for the query. Google takes PAA answers mostly from pages already on page one.

### Why are there only a few questions?

Google shows four or so at first and loads more as people click. This reads the box as the page first loads. In your agent, Manifold can pull the questions for hundreds of keywords at once.

### Is the People Also Ask tool free?

Yes. You get 15 searches a day here, with no signup. For more, connect Manifold to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor: the free plan gives your agent 250 credits every month, with no card.
