How We Generated This List

To find these questions, we first sorted through a list of over 4 billion search terms using the Semrush Keyword Magic Tool.

Specifically, we searched for keywords containing words like "where" and "how". Our figures are for global searches.

To refine the list, we used the "Questions" filter in Semrush.

Questions filter in Semrush Keyword Magic Tool

We then manually curated the list to remove questions with the same search intent.

For example, the keywords "How old is Donald Trump" and "How old is Trump" are variations of the same keyword. In each case where the intent is the same, the keywords with lower volume were removed.

Finally, we looked up the search volume for each term using Semrush. Questions are ranked based on which terms generate the most monthly searches in Google.
