Stats on the most-asked questions on Google globally<\/h2>\n

A list is a list, but what interesting facts and stats can we draw out from the top 100 most-asked questions on Google in 2023-2024? Answer: loads.<\/p>\n

1) Looking into search intent<\/h3>\n

What do we want? ANSWERS. When do we want them? NOW.<\/p>\n

We all say Google has the answer to everything, and the questions you ask it are answered at a rapid rate, too. Especially when SERP features get involved.<\/p>\n

\"Cher<\/p>\n

Whatever search terms are plugged into search engines like Google, there will be some form of search intent<\/strong><\/a>. When it comes to question queries in particular, people are looking for answers, meaning the search intent is \u2013 almost always \u2013 informational.<\/p>\n

In the most-asked questions in 2023, you\u2019ll find most of them are \u2018How to\u2019 questions. In fact, \u2018How to\u2019 questions take up 52% of the top 100<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find \u2018how to tie a tie<\/em>\u2019 at #5, which is always quite high-up. The global traffic leader<\/a> for this search term is (predictably) YouTube – because who wants to read<\/em> a step-by-step of how you tie a tie?<\/p>\n

A lot of the other \u2018How to\u2019s are tech-related; something for tech brands to consider in their content strategy<\/a> to win more traffic and improve the customer experience.<\/p>\n

\u2018What is\u2019 questions also take up a mighty 19% of the top 100 most-asked questions on Google last year, including:<\/p>\n
