PAA Selection Rules

Taught on 2024-12-19, 2024-10-31

What this is

How to pick WHICH People Also Ask question to target. Taught as the most common fail point.

Run it

  1. Start with the 4th question in the PAA block, not the first.
  2. Do not go accordion-deep. Skip the questions that only appear after you expand several layers.
  3. Confirm map results are present for the query before targeting it for a local business. No map pack means it is not a local intent worth chasing.
  4. One specific service per PAA. No broad topics.
  5. Skip low-volume keywords that have no map ranking at all, they burn time.
  6. PAA with a geo behind it lands fastest.
