What is Ask Questions?
Ask Questions searches Reddit through Google for threads about your topic and returns the ones phrased as questions. Reddit is where people go when the existing articles did not answer them, which makes it the clearest available signal of what a topic is missing. A thread titled "is a grinder actually worth it for one cup a day" is a question a page can be built around, and it comes with the replies that tell you what the answer needs to cover.
The tool runs five queries against your topic: the bare topic on Reddit, and four phrasings that pull questions specifically, built around "how do I", "should I" and "is it worth". Each runs across two pages of results, which is deep enough that the long tail appears rather than just the handful of threads everyone already cites. Results are restricted to the last two months, because a question from years ago has usually been answered by the internet by now and the point is to find the gap that is open today.
Thread titles are cleaned before you see them. Google appends the subreddit and the site name to Reddit results, so the raw title arrives as something like "Is a grinder worth it? - r/espresso - Reddit", and neither suffix belongs in a heading. Duplicates are collapsed on the cleaned title, since the same thread surfaces under several of the five queries, and fragments under fifteen characters are dropped because they are almost always a truncated title rather than a question. What is left is ranked with genuine questions first.
It has real limits. It sees what Google has indexed from Reddit, not Reddit itself, so a very recent thread may not appear and a private or removed subreddit will not appear at all. The two-month window is fixed, which is right for finding live gaps and wrong if you are researching an evergreen topic where the good questions are old. Reddit skews young, English-speaking and technical, so it is a strong signal for software, hobbies and consumer goods and a weak one for topics whose audience is not there. And a question being asked is not evidence that it has search volume - use it to find angles, then check demand separately.
How to use Ask Questions?
Enter a topic
Type the subject you are writing about, such as "home espresso" or "solo travel". Broad enough to have a community, specific enough to be one subject.
Run the search
Five query shapes run across two pages each, restricted to Reddit threads from the last two months.
Scan the questions first
Titles that read as questions are ranked first. Those are the ones that map directly onto a heading or an article.
Open the threads that repeat
A question asked several ways is a gap. The replies tell you what an answer has to cover to beat what is already ranking.
Ask Questions features
Five question angles
The bare topic plus "how do I", "should I", "is it worth" and a question qualifier, run in parallel
Last two months only
Freshness-restricted so you find gaps that are open now rather than ones the internet already closed
Titles cleaned for use
The subreddit and site suffixes Google appends are stripped, leaving a title you could use as a heading
Questions ranked first
Threads phrased as questions sort above statements, because those are the ones that become articles
