Google Wonder Wheel



Step by step guide on using the Google wonder wheel tool

Google’s new feature called Google Wonder Wheel is another manner in which users can view their search results. It is unique as it presents a visual wheel of phrases that is related to the main search query.
Below is a step by step guide on using the Google Wonder Wheel
First, you enter a word or phrase into Google and perform the search. For this guide, we will just type in wedding dress to use as an example.

Once this step is completed, look on the left side and you will see an option that says “more search tools”.

Within the list of options that Google has provided to help users search more efficiently is the Google Wonder Wheel. This wonderful option will display results that are relevant to your search in a unique manner. Keep in mind that the other new options are quite helpful as well so you can look into those after checking out the Wonder Wheel.

Now upon clicking on the Wonder Wheel option you will be presented with a circle like graph which contains the main search phrase in the middle and other related terms branched off from the circle. As you can see in the screenshot, our main search phrase, wedding dress, is in the middle of the graph while the related phrases are branched off surrounding the main phrase. On the right side of the Google Wonder Wheel you will see the normal search results.

At this point, you can start to have a little fun. If you click on any of the related phrases in the wheel, you will be presented with more relevant results and the wheel will grow. It’s very simple and the visuals make it a lot more interesting. With the example we used, a simple search of wedding dress led us to modest wedding dress results and other results all relating to our main search.
