Why I built the Fanout Miner
Technical SEO Lead- Updated
Good content starts with the questions people really ask, in the words they use. Keyword tools show volumes, but they rarely show that wording, and they're thin for smaller European markets like the Netherlands, Denmark or Croatia. This tool shows the questions Google's autocomplete suggests for a topic in the market you pick, so you can plan a page that answers them.
The aim is a page that helps the person asking, not a page stuffed with every question on the list. Google's ranking systems reward original, helpful content that shows experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust, however it's written. A list of questions is a starting point for that, not a shortcut around it.
How the results are produced
Tier 1: the tool asks Google autocomplete for your topic with question words in front (how, what, why, can, is…) and context words after it (vs, for, without…), in the language you chose. It keeps the suggestions that read as questions or comparisons.
Tier 2: it takes the first question in each group and asks autocomplete again with that question. This second layer is where the specific, long-tail questions are.
Every line you see is a real suggestion from Google. No question is written by AI. Grouping happens in your browser with simple rules: by the question word, or by the terms the questions share. Suggestions that are clearly junk, such as web addresses, or off-topic (for "seo": "seoul"), are left out.
Long or very specific topics often have no suggestions at all. Then the tool tries the topic's key words ("schema markup generator" for "best schema markup generator for shopify product pages") and says which topic it used. When there are no question-style suggestions, it shows the related searches Google does have.
Reading the map and the outline
Your topic is the pillar on the left of the map. Each branch is a cluster. Results come in two tabs. Questions lists the open cluster as an outline, with follow-up questions under the question they came from. Mind map shows the same clusters as a map: click a cluster to grow its questions. Both tabs keep the same cluster open. Click a question with a count to see its follow-ups on the map. The map follows the branch you open; scroll or drag to look around it, zoom with the buttons or Ctrl/⌘ and scroll, and use Fit to see the whole map.
Hover a question in the Questions tab to copy it or open it on Google in the same market. "Copy outline" copies the open cluster as an outline you can paste into a brief. The cluster plan export lists every question with its cluster, ready for a content plan.
Turning questions into a helpful page
- Pick the questions your page can answer well, from your own experience or data. Skip the rest.
- Use the strongest questions in a cluster as H2s and answer each one in the first sentence below it.
- Use follow-up questions as H3s, FAQ entries or short sections inside the matching H2.
- Open a question on Google to see the "People also ask" box and which pages already answer it well.
- Run the same topic in English and in the local language: the questions often differ by market.
- Don't publish one thin page per question. Producing many pages mainly to rank, whether by people or by AI, goes against Google's spam policies on scaled content.
Example: technical SEO for the Dutch market
Topic technical seo, market Netherlands · English. The country goes in the market menu, not in the topic: Google has almost no suggestions for "technical seo netherlands" (if you type a country, the tool moves it to the market for you).Try this example.
On 8 October 2026 it returned 50 questions in 7 clusters, plus 19 follow-ups. The "how" cluster started with "how to do technical seo", and its follow-ups included "how to conduct a technical seo site audit". That pairing suggests a guide that explains the work and then walks through an audit. Results change over time, so yours may differ.
Limits
Autocomplete shows what people start typing, not how often they search. It isn't the "People also ask" box, which only appears on results pages. Suggestions vary by market, language and day.
Questions about the tool
Is this "People also ask" data?
No. It's Google autocomplete, which shows what people type. Use the ↗ link next to a question to see the real "People also ask" box for it.
Does it show search volume?
No. Autocomplete doesn't share volumes. Check the questions you pick in a keyword tool or in Search Console.
Are any of the questions written by AI?
No. Every question is a real Google suggestion. The tool only sorts them into groups.
Why do results differ between markets?
Google suggests different questions by country and language, because people there search differently. That's why the market choice matters.
Can I use the questions to write content with AI?
Google cares about whether content is helpful and original, not how it was made. Using AI to help is fine; using it to mass-produce pages to manipulate rankings is spam. Whatever you use, make it clear who wrote the page and add what only you know.
Why did the tool change my topic?
Two cases. A country in the topic ("technical seo netherlands") moves to the market menu, because that's how Google targets a country. And when Google has no questions for a long topic, the tool searches its key words instead. A note above the results always says what was searched.
Is my search stored?
No. Your topic and market are sent to Google through this site to fetch suggestions and are not stored. The topic stays in your address bar so you can bookmark or share the search.
