Why this matters
People ask AI assistants questions: "Do you take walk-ins?" "How much is a men's cut?" "Are you open Sundays?" When the site has those exact questions written out with answers, AI can quote the business directly — and quoting it is one step away from recommending it. No FAQ means AI answers from someone else's site instead.
Ask the client for the 5 questions they hear most — from the phone, the front counter, DMs, wherever. Those are the FAQ. Real customer questions beat guessed ones every time.
Add it
Pick the site's platform. Write each question as a headline, with the answer as normal text right under it.
Wix
- Add an FAQ section
In the editor, click + Add (left sidebar) → Lists & Grids → FAQ, and drop it on the homepage or a new FAQ page.

Write questions like customers ask them
Use the customer's words, not the business's: "How much does a haircut cost?" beats "What is your pricing structure?" Start questions with who, what, where, when, how much, or do you. Keep answers to two or three sentences.
After publishing
Run a new SERAVERRA scan. The FAQ check reads the questions fresh each time — once they're there as real headlines, the flag clears.
