SQL Server PIVOT table for Hours

I have a T-SQL query as below which queries a table holding the search data and gets the search hour and count of the rows for that search hour.

SELECT DATEPART(HOUR, aps.CreatedOn) AS SearchHour, COUNT(*) AS ItemCOUNT 
FROM ASearches aps
GROUP BY DATEPART(HOUR, aps.CreatedOn)
ORDER BY SearchHour;

As you can see, this does't produce a great result. However, I know that if I use a Pivot table for this and have the hours as column names, that would be better. I tried but I have been failing so far.

Any idea how?

Something like this:

SELECT *
  FROM (SELECT DATEPART(HOUR, CreatedOn) AS SearchHour 
          FROM ASearches) aps
 PIVOT (COUNT([SearchHour]) FOR SearchHour IN 
         ( [0],  [1],  [2],  [3],  [4],  [5], 
           [6],  [7],  [8],  [9], [10], [11], 
          [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], 
          [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23])) as pvt
