2)      Categorizing FAQs:  Like the way you would not want to display hundreds of products on one page of your site, instead you would like to categorize them such as new product, featured products etc. Similarly Categorizing FAQs will greatly increase visibility of required information to customers e.g. you can create separate FAQ sections such as Sales FAQ, Product FAQ, Support FAQ or by topics

3)      Clear and easy to read: The information should be clear enough to read and navigate and should not be complicated. Language usage should be easy.

4)      Search Facility: This service as a key factor in reducing time consumption. Customers will be able to quickly find their desired information and instead of flying around just FAQ section, customers can more productively utilize your web

5)      Frequently searched questions on top: This is another feature that increases your site’s productivity and customers’ time spent on your FAQ pages.

6)      FAQs rating:  This factor allows you to measure how well the FAQ information is displayed across the page, capture users’ feedback and what measures are needed to be taken to make more enhancements.

7)      FAQ Presentation: To give you an example Accordion style is much better option to use instead of simple list of FAQs. Accordion keeps all the information contracted. Customers can click on any specific question to expand and view its details.

8)      SEO Friendly URLs for FAQ pages: This feature will allow global search for your products in search engines. Top eCommerce platforms such as Magento eCommerce Platform have this feature already built-in
