What is AnswerThePublic?

AnswerThePublic is a keyword research and content ideation tool that visualises the questions and searches people make around any keyword. Type in a topic and it generates a visual map of every who, what, when, where, why and how question people search for β€” invaluable for content planning, FAQ pages and understanding your audience's real concerns.

Originally launched as a free tool, AnswerThePublic was acquired by Neil Patel's NP Digital in 2022. It remains partially free with a limited number of daily searches, with paid plans unlocking unlimited searches, data exports and search listening alerts.

It's most useful for content marketers who want to understand the full range of questions their audience is asking before writing a blog post, guide or FAQ page β€” ensuring content covers what people actually want to know rather than what the writer assumes they want to know.

Who is AnswerThePublic for?

Content marketers, SEO professionals, bloggers and anyone who creates content and wants to understand what questions their audience is actually searching for. Particularly useful for building FAQ sections, planning blog post angles and finding long-tail keyword opportunities.
