What Are Related Searches?

Related searches is a SERP feature that displays a list of similar or connected queries, usually shown near the bottom of a search results page.

How It Works

Google generates these suggestions based on what other users commonly search in connection with your original query, offering a window into related topics, questions, and variations that real searchers are also exploring.

How to Use Them for SEO

Related searches are a quick, free source of keyword and content ideas — they reveal how a topic connects to adjacent questions and terms, which can inform subheadings, related content to create, or angles a piece might be missing. They’re especially useful for identifying long-tail variations and follow-up questions a searcher might have after their initial query.
