What is an FAQ page?
An FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page is a key part of a knowledge base because it addresses the most common questions customers have and is useful to customers at all stages of the customer journey. FAQs start with a question and then answer it concisely. Within a knowledge base template, FAQs can function as their own articles (e.g., “How do I set up a password?”) or be incorporated into a longer series (e.g., “How to get started with your account”). Outside of the help center, a chatbot can also provide support through FAQs.
How to create an FAQ page
If you want to make an FAQ section that resonates with your customers, don’t just slap some ordinary questions and answers on a site page. Carefully think about what questions to include, consider who will answer (and how), and offer next-step solutions for when FAQs aren’t enough.
