Google Question Hub (GQH) is a knowledge market platform developed and offered by Google. As part of reducing non-existent digital media backlog,[clarification needed] it uses various but not-known search algorithms to collect unanswered web search queries for content creators, including journalists.[1][2] GQH is accessible via a registered Google search console account with a verified web property as contradict to Google Questions and Answers. However, searchers do not need to be registered with search console except a google account.

Google search users ask a question in specified languages such as English, Hindi and Indonesian language,[3] and after collecting the unanswered questions, Google lists them in GQH where publishers can then use them as the basis for new publishing articles.[4][5]

Google posted a message after you login at questionhub.withgoogle.com that says “As of January 5, 2023, the Question Hub beta will end. If you’d like to retain a copy of your data, you can do so via Google Takeout up until March 6, 2023. After that date, Question Hub user data will be deleted.”
