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.

You can look up the search volume for any keyword with our free keyword tool.

Top Google Questions By Type

Here's a quick breakdown of the types of questions that people ask Google most often (based on the US top 100 questions list above):

Percentages:

What: 28% (including "que")
How: 44%
When: 18% (including "cuando")
Where: 4%
Who: 5%
Why: 1%

From this breakdown, "How" is the most common starting word for the questions, making up 44% of the list.

This list includes lots of fairly mainstream questions that don't tend to change from year to year (for example, people have been searching for "How many days until Christmas" for years). However, we wanted to pull out a few questions that are showing signs of more recent growth.

Any Market

1. What is AI 

"What is AI" growth chart

5-year search growth: 3,233%

Search growth status: Exploding

Monthly Search Volume Globally: 354,100

Monthly US Search Volume: 90,500

Description: Recent advancements in AI, particularly in generative AI, have created a public buzz around the topic. Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity have given anybody with an internet connection direct access to AI today. In fact, the global AI market grew from $50 billion in 2023 to $184 billion in 2024.

Interest in AI continues to grow as more models launch. DeepSeek disrupted markets in early 2025, Semrush has launched its comprehensive AI SEO toolkit, and 83% of companies now claim that AI is one of their #1 priorities.

2. How To Deactivate Facebook

"How to deactivate Facebook" growth chart

5-year search growth: -12%

Search growth status: Regular

Monthly Search Volume Globally: 440,500

Monthly US Search Volume: 165,000

Description: Facebook remains the largest social media platform. However, there is a steady stream of users who are turning away from the platform.

Some of the people searching how to deactivate their accounts have privacy concerns. They may be looking at decentralized social media alternatives instead. 

3. How Many Steps In A Mile

"How many steps in a mile" growth chart

5-year search growth: 5%

Search growth status: Exploding

Monthly Search Volume Globally: 226,900

Monthly US Search Volume: 201,000

Description: It’s estimated that 115.8 million Americans walk for fitness and exercise purposes. Plus, new devices like smart watches make it easier to track your total steps for the day. However, a large number of people want to see how their daily steps equate to distance (specifically, miles). 

4. How To Lower Cholesterol

"How to lower cholesterol" growth chart

5-year search growth: 65%

Search growth status: Exploding

Monthly Search Volume Globally: 267,400

Monthly US Search Volume: 165,000

Description: As with the "steps in a mile" query, searches for "how to lower cholesterol" tie into a wider increase in awareness of health and fitness needs. Around 1 in 10 US adults have high cholesterol, a condition which significantly increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

A 2023 study found that as many as 40% of Americans with high cholesterol were not aware they had it. But search trends suggest that may be changing, with more people taking the initiative to find ways to lower their cholesterol (generally through diet and exercise). 

5. How To Say Hi In Spanish

"How to say hi in Spanish" growth chart

5-year search growth: -42%

Search growth status: Peaked

Monthly Search Volume Globally: 155,100

Monthly US Search Volume: 135,000

Description: Spanish is spoken by over 460 million people natively, making it the second-most spoken language globally. Since 1980, there has been a 233% increase in Spanish speakers in the US. Because Spanish is the fastest-growing language in the US, it’s common for people to learn popular phrases like “Hi” on Google.

And while this specific search may have peaked (albeit still with 135,000 US searches per month), the presence of some Spanish phrases on the US top searched list tells its own story. Queries related to Real Madrid and Barcelona reflect the popularity of soccer among Hispanics; last year's Champions League final drew 9.5 million US viewers, 40% of whom were Hispanic.

6. How To Make Money Online

"How to make money online" growth chart

5-year search growth: -31%

Search growth status: Peaked

Monthly Search Volume Globally: 363,700

Monthly US Search Volume: 74,000

Description: Due to downturns in the economy, layoffs, and the growth of remote work, Americans are more interested than ever in earning money online to increase their income. In fact, the number of freelancers in the gig economy is expected to grow to 86.5 million and will account for 50.9 percent of the total workforce in the US by 2027.

Searches are gradually on the way down from a Covid peak, but interest remains at a similar point to December 2019 levels.
