  • What does FAQ mean?


    It stands for frequently-asked questions, and it’s a page on a website that gives quick answers to customer questions. The idea is to keep the answers short and direct so that people find info quickly. We write it as “an FAQ”…(“an eff-ay-cue”) instead of “a FAQ” (a “fack”).

What Does A Great Shopify FAQ Page Look Like?

A great FAQ page is one that is designed with the customer in mind and addresses all of the common questions that customers may have about your product or service. Here are some characteristics of a great FAQ page:

  1. Well-organized
  2. Clear and concise
  3. Including visual aids
  4. Searchable
  5. Up-to-date

1. Make it easy to find: People know what an FAQ is, so make that your page title. Don’t overcomplicate things by calling it “Good to Know” or “More Info”. Sometimes people put the frequently asked questions section on their Contact page, but you can create your own page and put it right in your website navigation menu or website footer so it’s easy to find.


2. Write questions from a customer’s point of view: Write the question as the reader would ask it. So the customer is “I” and you, the website owner, are “you”. Sticking to this format makes more sense for a reader, reduces confusion, and more closely matches what people actually type into search engines:


Write from the point of view of a customer: “Can I purchase a gift certificate?” instead of “Can you purchase a gift certificate?” or “Can customers purchase gift certificates?”


3. Use a question-and-answer format: This sounds obvious…but don’t forget to write out actual questions with answers. When someone finds an FAQ page they want specific information, not a marketing pitch or a long story.


4. Keep answers short: Getting a straight, quick answer to your question is a relief. So keep answers to a short paragraph if you can, less than 100 words.


5. Actually answer the question: You’d be surprised how many FAQs avoid giving a straight answer or they send you on a wild goose chase to another page entirely. When possible, answer the entire question in the FAQ without linking away to another page. You can provide links to more info, but the answer itself should be right there on the page. For example – which one is more useful?

  • Tips:

    • Your FAQ page should complement information that exists elsewhere on your site. (This approach will help your website rank for that information, and save you time producing the FAQ page since the content exists on your product pages.)
    • If your customers ask questions about product features, then you can provide accurate answers in your FAQ section and build out that information on the product pages.
    • Choose the right tool to build your FAQ page
