How do you scrape "People also ask"? Hint: SEO Minion

"People also ask" or PAA has become a prominent SERP feature on Google.

You must have seen the "People also ask" section in the results, which is an expandable grid box. In this box are a series of questions involving the search term you looked for.



"People also ask" is a goldmine for SEOs. There are several ways you can take advantage of this SERP feature -
  • Discover new keywords 
  • Improve your content by knowing what people questions people are searching answers for in the SERP
  • Bring more search traffic by ranking on "People Also Ask"
New questions keep on adding when you open and check a question. So there is an infinite number of questions that google provide.

But the question is -

How can you scrape all the 'People also ask' queries?

Well there might be many extensions that can help, or you can even do it manually, but I am particularly interested in an extension called 'SEO Minion', I use this extension for many other SEO tasks, so I don't need to use an extra extension.

SEO Minion helps you with SEO tasks such as On-Page SEO analysis, Broken Link Checking, Hreflang tag checking, SERP Preview and more.

They have recently added a feature where you can scrape up to 200 clicks worth of PAA queries with just a couple of clicks.


Remember it is not just 200 queries, 200 clicks means much more than that. Because when you click on one query, 2-3 new queries start to appear. So most of the times you will need to download PAA for 10 or 20 clicks only.

You will be able to download a Spreadsheet containing the queries (Title), the answers (texts), URL of the page where the answer taken from, and Title of the page. The spreadsheet looks like this


SEO Minion also helps you scrape a few more things like one-click copy all ads results, ads URLs, all the Organic URLs and so on. You can find all in the screenshot below.
