    Incentive on STILL as in the past in was, but o thought FAQs were deleted from the search.

    At least it is important and helpful for the visitors having questions.

  • No FAQ should evah introdooce noo stuff naht seen in the main areah.

    Yet it must appeah as if it does, without soundin' too evidently like no kinda ECHO.

    If SHOW beats TELL, TELL must always beat ASK.

    This clear?

    For my use cases, yes.
    • I get good value by providing my ideal viewers with helpful FAQs content about any of my products and niche topics, pre or post sales?
    ** FAQs content reduces my support ticket volume.
    ** And I'm able to use FAQs content to get more organic search traffic.

    I put specific FAQs in each product page.
    • These specific FAQs are about the product on focus.

    And more general FAQs for each category in each category page.
    • These are about the category on focus.

    That way, I'm able to quickly address the pre and post sales questions of both my prospects and current paying customers.
    • These range from questions about broader topics (FAQs in category pages), to more specific ones (FAQs in product pages).

    Plus, there's an opportunity to SE-optimize each of my pages.
    • So I put FAQs schema markup. I target relevant questions with good search demand across my ideal markets in my target geos. And I implement my on-page SE-optimization techniques.

      I agree with you on this and do as much with FAQs as possible.

      FAQs are a great way to insert more relevant keywords to product pages as well as websites.

      They give visitors additional information about the product/service and other details, like payment processing, shipping times, etc.

      If anything on the page or website can be questioned, I think that developing helpful FAQs is a great practice.

  • I wish more companies/websites had better, more valuable, relevant FAQs. If I'm left wondering about this or that, my nature is just to leave.

  • Thing to considah also is how THE MORE yr FAQs kinda ANSA, the less likely nowan consultin' yr ass direct for the finah detail (which is the whole pointa stuffs anyways).

    So you gotta thinka them FAQs as amplifyerckations of valyoo you pumpin' out elsewhere, kinda like mini ads for your brilliance.

    It's all about context (isn't everything?).

    I'm not keen on sites that use FAQs as a substitute for support and make you wade through pages of irrelevance just to get to an actual contact number or address.

    FAQs can be useful for more technical services but other than that, too many of them might indicate your sales pages aren't really doing their job.

    are there questions about the product that are often asked, this indicates that the description of this product is incomplete, and if you do not have a complete description of the product, then just in case for consultation, make a phone number easily accessible, you need to understand that the products are there and this is a very large list of that what people can buy from you, you do not provide for all the possible questions that may be asked to you, so making an easily accessible telephone number for consultation is one of the quick methods of solving this

  • Yes, including FAQs on product or category pages is a good practice. FAQs can help address common customer questions, provide additional information, and improve the overall user experience. They can also reduce customer support inquiries, build trust, and potentially boost SEO by incorporating relevant keywords and phrases.

    I work for corporate retail and we have FAQ schema for all of our product landing pages for all product categories but not on the product page itself and I would say yes if done right it is very effective. In fact we had a developer copy content and strip the scripts on accident and our traffic dropped. It really depends on the brand and company and purpose of the site. We always put faqs toward the bottom of the page before the footer.

    Yes, FAQs are helpful. I'd suggest to just place a FAQs section on blog pages instead. Instead of placing it on product/category pages, you can encourage users to contact you directly for questions. However, most users don't like to interact if they are still not sure what they're looking for or what type of service they want to see, so better to improve your copywriting to include all important details already.

  • Yes, FAQs enhance the user experience by providing immediate answers to questions coming to their mind. It improves SEO, and Boost Organic Traffic of the website.

    Yes, including FAQs on product or category pages significantly SEO by capturing long-tail keywords and improving search visibility, while also providing users with quick answers and a better overall experience.

    Are the FAQs specific to just one page/concept? If so, then putting them on the appropriate page could work. But if they cover multiple topics, then putting them in one place would make more sense.

    I am sure what FAQ it's a very important element on the page Google often used this data from micro code and use this content in search result, the FAQ it's important knowledge for users of your site and Google the respect this decision now it's a fact. in many times you can see part of the text from micro data from FAQ and this text wii bee on the first position from search result, you can do not use this experience but you will miss opportunity from many possible improve your results

    Yes. If course, FAQs are a way to address presale objections or questions without adding to user scroll fatigue. The FAQs shouldn't include anything not addressed in the page to help drive the sale, and if the people are still asking deeper questions about something to have an answer to that you put in the FAQs, then you build in directly into the page.

    not for technical perspective but for products ı think its usefull. If product detail are shown in a way that visitors can easily get the information its okay. But;

    What is the price of X, What is X some faq like that looks like purely for SEO.

    Yes, of course, you should add the FAQ Schema on the Product category Pages. Schema data is essential for niche blogs as well as e-commerce sites. you can also add other types of schema like
    Organization or local business schema.
    Product schema.
    Reviews and ratings schema.
    Video schema.
    Breadcrumb schema.
    Site search schema.
    Article schema.
    FAQ schema.
