People Also Search For

What are "People also search for" results and when do they appear?

PASF suggestions turn up in your search results when you type in a search query, click on a given organic search result and then return to the search results page looking for more options. You’ll then notice the PASF box right below the link you just visited.

This almost seems like Google suggesting, “Didn't find what you’re looking for? These topics could help.”

The search suggestions that appear in the PASF box are based on URLs. The topics you see in the box are related to the URL of the result you just clicked on and not the original search string you typed out.

Currently, the PASF box on desktop, pulls up six related topics, two lesser than the PASF results that you get on the SERPs on mobile devices.

Here’s an example of what it looks like:

How to optimize your pages for PASF?

Know the search intent

You need to be able to create content that matches the search intent. For this, you will need to look up related searches, analyze the purpose of the search query, and drill down to what the customer is looking for.

Identify and implement key search terms

Do in-depth keyword research and identify relevant search terms that you can include in your content. To get your web page to rank higher, you need to include topically connected search terms and different questions that people use on search engines.

Add FAQ schema to your web pages and blog posts

Another great way to optimize your pages and find your way into Google’s search-assisted features is to add a FAQ scheme on your website. This is a specialized markup code that you can place on your website to amplify your content for SEO.

Doing this will let the search engine know that your content is displayed in a question and answer format, making it eligible for rich snippets on Google’s SERPs.
