Introduction

W-questions in the content editor help you align your content more closely with the actual search intent of your target audience. They provide concrete questions that users actively enter into search engines.


Explanation of the Feature

The displayed W-questions are based on Google Suggest. This means:

  • The questions are real queries entered by users on Google

  • They are directly related to your selected keyword

  • They reflect genuine information needs

This gives you valuable inspiration for relevant content and allows you to optimize your texts for real search queries.


Technical Background

The data is provided via an API interface from Google. The following applies:

  • A maximum of 10 results is delivered per W-question type (e.g. “What”, “How”, “Why”)

  • If more questions are available, the selection is randomized

This means that the displayed questions may vary slightly, even if the keyword remains the same.


Usage in the Content Editor

Develop Content Ideas

Use W-questions to:

  • identify new topics

  • find relevant subtopics for your content

  • directly address user questions


Improve Structure

W-questions are ideal for:

  • subheadings (H2/H3)

  • FAQ sections

  • inspiration for text sections


SEO Optimization

By integrating W-questions, you can:

  • better cover search intent

  • increase the relevance of your content

  • improve your chances of ranking higher


Best Practices

  • Integrate W-questions naturally into your text

  • Use them for structured content (e.g. FAQs)

  • Combine them with your keywords

  • Don’t rely solely on the suggested questions—add your own ideas


Conclusion

W-questions in the content editor are based on real search queries, making them a valuable tool for content optimization. When used correctly, they help you align your content more closely with your audience’s needs and sustainably improve your SEO performance.
