Google Search Suggestions Scraper

What does it do?

Google Search Suggestions Scraper extracts keyword ideas from three powerful Google sources: Autocomplete suggestions, People Also Ask (PAA) questions, and Related Searches. By combining data from all three sources, you get a comprehensive view of what people are searching for around any topic, along with search intent classification for each keyword.

This actor is essential for content marketers, SEO specialists, and PPC managers who need to understand search behavior and find content opportunities. The Autocomplete API reveals what users are actively typing, PAA questions show the most common questions Google identifies for a topic, and Related Searches uncover lateral keyword opportunities you might otherwise miss.

The scraper uses a two-pronged approach: it queries Google's autocomplete API directly for fast, reliable suggestion data, and also scrapes Google search results pages to extract PAA boxes and Related Searches sections. Each keyword is automatically classified by search intent (informational, transactional, commercial, or navigational) to help prioritize your content strategy.

Why use this actor?

• Combine three Google data sources in a single run for comprehensive keyword research
• Automatic search intent classification for every keyword
