## How to use it

1. Enter one seed keyword - the topic, not a whole sentence.
2. We expand it across question, commercial, comparison and alternative angles using Google autocomplete.
3. Write for the phrasings that match what your page can actually answer.

## Questions

### Where do the ideas come from?

Google autocomplete, the same suggestions that drop down in the search box. They are built from real queries people type, so every idea here is a phrasing somebody has actually searched.

### Why is there no search volume?

Because honest volume data costs money, and a made-up number is worse than none. Autocomplete tells you a query exists and how it is phrased. For demand, publish the page and read the impressions in Search Console.

### How should I use the angles?

Question phrasings suit a guide or FAQ block, comparison and alternative phrasings suit a dedicated comparison page, and commercial phrasings belong on the page that sells the thing.

### How do I pick which ideas to write about?

Take the question phrasings your product can answer better than a generic guide. Long, specific queries have less competition and convert far better than the two-word head term.

### Do I need search volume to start?

No. For a new site, volume is the wrong filter - almost everything with volume is out of reach. Write for specific questions first, then check volume once you have rankings to defend.

### Are autocomplete suggestions personalised?

Lightly, by country and language. The core suggestions are aggregate query data, which is why they are a reasonable proxy for demand.

### What is the difference between this and a keyword tool with volume?

Paid tools model volume from clickstream data. This shows demand exists without pretending to know its size. For content planning, knowing the exact phrasing matters more than a number with a wide error bar.
