FAQ & content structure guide

A good FAQ is not a keyword dump. It anticipates real decisions and objections, phrased the way customers actually ask them, structured so both people and parsers can navigate it.


01Choosing questions

  • Source questions from support tickets, sales calls and onboarding friction — not from keyword tools alone.
  • Group by intent: pre-purchase, usage, troubleshooting, policy.
  • One question per entry; split compound questions.

02Writing answers

  • Answer in the first sentence; add nuance after.
  • Keep each answer self-contained enough to be quoted out of context.
  • Link deeper pages for detail instead of bloating the answer.
  • Avoid duplicating identical answers across many pages — consolidate and canonicalize.

03Page-level structure

  • Place FAQs where the related decision happens (product, pricing, docs) rather than one giant dumping-ground page.
  • Use semantic HTML — real headings and definition-style structure, not accordion-only content hidden from non-JS clients.
  • Mark genuine FAQ content with FAQPage structured data only where questions/answers are visible on the page.
