PRACTICAL GUIDE

What should a product-page FAQ include?

A useful FAQ answers the questions a customer needs resolved before taking the next step. Start with what people ask, check the facts, and put essential buying information where it is easy to find.

Start with the unanswered questions

Gather questions from enquiries, support conversations and customer feedback that you are entitled to use. Remove personal details and write each question in ordinary language. Group variations together: “How much room does it need?” and “Will it fit on my desk?” may need one clear size answer.

Check the main page before adding a question. Price, dimensions and the basic offer should be easy to find in the page itself. The FAQ can explain the practical detail and point readers to a current policy where needed.

Seven areas to check

  1. Fit and size: what dimensions, capacity or compatibility should the customer check?
  2. What is included: which items or services come with the stated price?
  3. Use and care: what approved instructions does the customer need?
  4. Delivery: where are current costs, destinations and estimated times explained?
  5. Returns or cancellation: where can the customer find the applicable policy and its conditions?
  6. Variations: which colours, versions or options are actually available?
  7. The next step: what should someone do if they still cannot tell whether the offer fits?

This is a checklist to adapt, not a requirement to publish seven questions. Keep the ones relevant to the product and supported by current information.

A worked example: answering a size question

FICTIONAL EXAMPLE / NORTHLINE DESK

Approved facts: the desk mat measures 80 × 30 cm, comes in charcoal or navy, and has a cork underside and a wipe-clean top.

Vague answer: “Our versatile mat is perfect for every workspace.”

Clearer answer: “The mat measures 80 × 30 cm. Measure the free space on your desk and check the area you need for your keyboard and mouse before ordering.”

The clearer answer gives the reader something they can check. The supplied facts do not establish that it fits every desk, protects against every spill or comes with a particular warranty.

Keep missing facts out of published answers

If delivery time or care guidance is missing, put the question in an internal list for the person who owns that information. Do not turn a guess into a promise.

For each draft answer, keep a short note of its source, the date checked and anything still awaiting confirmation. When a policy changes, those notes make it easier to find the affected wording.

For the fictional mat, “Can I put it in a dishwasher?” remains unanswered. A wipe-clean top does not establish dishwasher compatibility. The right next step is to obtain approved care instructions.

Review the page as a customer

  • Can you find the basic facts without opening every FAQ?
  • Does each answer address its question in the first sentence?
  • Are qualifications and limits visible next to the relevant claim?
  • Do policy links lead to the current information?
  • Is there a clear way to ask a question the page does not answer?

Ask someone unfamiliar with the offer to explain it back to you. Their unanswered questions can identify wording to revisit. This checks understanding; it does not demonstrate an increase in sales.

Use this brief for a page rewrite

Collect your current page, the intended reader, the action you want them to take, approved product facts, current policies and recurring questions. Mark any fact that needs confirmation before writing starts.

Ladyfemi’s fixed-scope rewrite covers one page of up to 800 words, up to eight FAQs, three headline options and one revision. The delivery is editable copy and notes; website implementation is outside the package.
