FAQ

How much does People Also Ask Scraper cost?

$0.0055 per keyword search on the Apify Free plan ($5.50 per 1,000), billed per result by Apify with no subscription. Plus $0.0006 per people also ask question. Plus $0.005 per ai overview check. Higher Apify plans get the discounted tiers shown in the pricing table. You can cap any run with a maximum cost.

Why are many answer fields empty?

Google now answers most People Also Ask questions with AI-generated text that loads separately, so there's often no classic snippet to save. Turn on Include AI Overview to capture Google's AI answer for the keyword itself.

Why do some keywords have no questions?

Google doesn't show People Also Ask for every search. Those keywords are listed in the run SUMMARY, and you only pay the keyword-search fee for them.

Can I target a city?

Yes. Use the full Google location name, e.g. New York,New York,United States.
