Google Autocomplete Tool
A Google Autocomplete tool is a tool that collects the search suggestions Google shows while someone types a keyword, optionally expanded with question words, so you can see what people commonly search for.

How to use the Google Autocomplete Tool
- 1
Enter a seed keyword. Type the topic you want suggestions for, such as a product or a question.
- 2
Pick a country and mode. Choose the market and either plain suggestions or the question-word expansion, which adds how, what, why, can, is and best in front of your seed.
- 3
Run the lookup. Press Get suggestions. Results are deduplicated and listed in the order they were returned.
- 4
Copy or export. Copy the list as plain text for a spreadsheet or open the JSON view.
What autocomplete suggestions are and are not
Autocomplete suggestions are predictions Google shows in the search box. They reflect aggregate search behaviour and Google's own prediction systems, and Google may remove some suggestions, for example for policy reasons.
They are useful for content research and keyword ideas, but they are not search volumes. Use them to find phrasing and questions, then validate demand with a keyword data source.
Frequently asked questions
Are these suggestions personalised?
+
The lookup is made without a signed-in Google account or search history, so you see generic suggestions for the chosen country and language. What a real user sees can differ because Google may personalise suggestions using location, language and past searches.
Why do some suggestions disappear?
+
Google's predictions change over time with search behaviour, and Google can remove suggestions that violate its policies. A suggestion you saw yesterday may not return today, which is why this tool shows results as of the moment you run it.
Can I get search volumes with the suggestions?
+
Not in this tool. Autocomplete returns phrases only. To estimate demand you need a keyword data source that reports search volume, and you can then feed the suggestions into it.
What does the question-word expansion do?
+
It runs six lookups, with how, what, why, can, is and best placed before your seed keyword, and merges the unique suggestions. It surfaces question-style and comparison-style phrases that a single lookup usually misses.
