According to Microsoft, 95% of customers say customer service plays a major part in their brand loyalty.
FAQ pages make for a top-notch customer experience, after all. If you want your site visitors to know what it feels like to have their needs put first, communicate with them using a FAQ page.
Chatbots, customer reviews, and social media support lines like Twitter are ways to help customers along their buyer’s journey.
But an FAQ page can earn the trust of customers, provide additional insights into your products and services, and help you secure sales.
So, don’t sleep on FAQ pages. They serve as a great assistant for your customers and your site’s SEO.
That’s right, FAQ pages are good for SEO.
When designed with an effective SEO strategy, FAQ pages capture your customers’ attention and help you rank high in the search engine results pages (SERPs).
It takes a little keyword research to generate FAQ ideas, but that’s where an SEO tool like Ubersuggest comes in.
It helps identify keywords with high traffic to feed into your content strategy.
Let’s use Ubersuggest to craft FAQs that turn visitors into customers.
How FAQs Help With SEO
Just how valuable are FAQs for SEO?
You can use keywords you already rank for to identify topics and questions of value to your visitors.
Let’s say you’re a specialty meats distributor like ButcherBox and two of your keywords are “specialty meats” and “quality meats.” You’ll want to communicate that you are one of the best places to get hot dogs to users searching for quality hot dogs.
One question you could pose in your FAQs is, “Where can I find the best hot dog?” “Which hot dogs are the best?” is another question to boost your SEO with an aligning keyword while meeting your messaging goals.
By taking this approach, you’re positioning yourself as a solution—an answer to potential customers’ questions. This is what search engines like Google will notice and rank you for. That’s how you’ll get matched to queries with similar search intent. From there, you’ll start noticing conversions from FAQs.
You can educate your user by answering questions simply and concisely.
Use your SEO strategy to form your FAQ ideas and demonstrate your value to users.
Then watch the organic traffic flow in.
FAQs in Rich Results: Why Aim For Them?
Other than being a source of information for visitors, FAQs can appear in rich results.
Rich results are valuable because:
They have the potential to increase your click-through rate (CTR).
They take up more space in the SERPs, increasing the chance that users will see the link to your page.
So, how do you achieve rich results? Adding FAQ schema to your site is one way.
Google can read and interpret questions and answers on your FAQ page if you use FAQ schema. Then highlight them in the SERPs. Like this:
What Makes Strong FAQ Ideas?
Strong FAQ ideas answer what users are looking for and may need.
It’s best to start with questions customers ask the most during the course of business.
Beyond identifying these via your customer service data, you can perform keyword research. Knowing what terms users are searching gives you a good sense of what questions you should pre-emptively answer through FAQs.
As users get deeper into their search, there may be things they need to know or understand along the way. Strong keyword research will help you develop FAQ ideas that match your users stride for stride at
If your FAQ ideas align with the topics that pop into users’ minds while visiting your site, then you’ve got the ultimate opportunity to earn their trust.
