Best strategy for Researching for FAQ
-
Hi,
I work for an eCommerce. I want to create a FAQ section on category pages with the question relative to that particular category.
For Example -https://www.lockthedeal.com/catalog/energy/battery/four-wheeler?subcategory=Cars
This is a sample URL for which I want to create a FAQ section.
What would be the best way to do research for FAQs? -
Hi,
Thanks, BobGW and Everett for your valuable suggestion.
I am in talks with my customer service guys and asked them to create a sheet of questions.@Everett, I am looking into the tools you have shared.

Hello Ravim,
I agree with Bob that the best place to start is by finding out what your customers ask, and the best place for that is the customer service people in your company, or whoever answers the phone/chat and speaks with customers directly.
In terms of keyword research, there are a number of great tools out there. I like Answer The Public, GuberSuggest, aHrefs, Moz, SEMRush... Just look for who/what/when/where/why/how questions related to that product/keyword.
Here's a great tool I use to help scrape and organize people also ask (PAA) results:
https://www.hannahrampton.co.uk/google-qa-people-also-ask-research/And, of course, you can just go to Google and start checking for yourself. See what Google is suggesting as you type. See what questions show up in the PAA accordions.

Hello,
There are some ways.
#1 talk to customer service and see what calls or emails they've had on the products in the category, or what they know about the category from working with customers. This will give you a more 10X FAQ.
Despite that, you can research the appropriate on Google, which will be useful information and needs to be included but will not make it dynamic.
You need to talk to someone who is in the business of working with customer service in each area to do the best job, whether it's in your company or not. Otherwise, you can simply Google the information, tailor what you know, and make the best FAQ possible. Try to always include something that's not in Google search that sets you apart.
I'm sure other more premium members will have other ideas. My suggestion is just our standard practice. I don't know what level you are at.

Best website IA/structure for SEO?
What's the current thinking on the best structure of information on a website for SEO? Structure for visitors can be best achieved through navigation menus, but I am more interested in how I should organise my URL structure so Google can make sense of the depth of my site topics. The website is an Asian travel blog so there are essentially two specific types of post on the site. One type is location specific (may be about an attraction, a city, a region or a country). The other type is general (usually about an aspect of travel like travel cash, visas, scams, etc). At the moment, all my general posts are organised like www.asiantraveltips.com/blog/[post-name]. My location-specific posts are organised like www.asiantraveltips.com/[country]/[region-or-city]/[place-name]/ so that Google can see I have depth of topics about each country and region. But I find it hard to keep consistency in this arrangement of URLs and I don't know if I might be better off to just have everything flat and tagged as a blog post like www.asiantraveltips.com/blog/[country]-[region-city]-[post-name]/? What's best practice these days? How are others organising travel blog websites?

How "Top" or "Best" are considered when in front of keyword
I would like to know if someone has proven info how google today counts words "Top" or "Best" when in front of main keywords you try to rank for. For example, if I have a keyword like "Restaurants in Madrid" and I optimize that page without using words "top" or "best" will it have good rankings for keywords "top restaurants in madrid" and "best restaurants in madrid" ? I suppose that google is smart enough to know that web page should be good ranked even without using those 2 words but would like to know percentage of my loss if I just exclude those words from title tag and other important onpage factors. I want to rank high for all the 3 combinations, with "top", with "best" and without it in front so searching for best solution. I plan just to add one of those words, for example "top" and hope that google will know that "top" = "best" 🙂

Fresh Content Strategy - What does it look like?
I understand the growing importance fo content freshness, but I have some questions about how to incorporate content freshness components into an existing SEO strategy: Here are some specific questions I would love some help with: If I have a specific "product or services" page that is properly optimized, and getting a decent amount of traffic, would I benefit from updating/modifying the content on a routine basis to improve rankings? In general, should I be considering an occasional re-fresh of content on my site even if I don;t necessarily have anything new to say? For my homepage, if I am pulling in headlines from various news and events sections within my own site, and those sections are updated pretty frequently, is my homepage going to be viewed as fresh when the site gets re-crawled? In other words, is updating my homepage via rss feeds that pull from content areas from within my site keeping my homepage "fresh"? Thanks!

Best SEO extension or plugin for on-page optimization
I was wondering what you guys might recommend for a browser extension or plugin that would help developers optimize each page for specific keywords. I'm looking for a tool that will give me a grade on how well it's optimized with a recommendation checklist. I would use SEOMoz's onpage analysis tool but it doesn't have access to my private development environment (hence the need for a plugin.) Recommendations? Thanks!

How to best use our blog posts for SEO?
My company recently created a WordPress hosted blog. It is hosted completely separate from our company site. The primary domain for the blog is blog.mydomainname.com, but we immediately created a folder within our company website for www.mydomainname.com/blog that has a reverse proxy to the blog itself. I'm curious though if we should consider taking the content from the blog posts and re-creating that within our company website as well? The blog posts are very good SEO rich content, and we always struggle to find new content to put on our company website as it is already. Would like to get some folks thoughts on this. Thanks!

What is the best duplicate content checker that will check by phrase?
I create a lot of landing pages for individual keywords on my site. An issue that I've run into is I unknowingly use some common phrases repeatedly on different pages and therefore sometimes get dinged by Google. I'm basically looking for a tool that would check the content of a new page against all the other pages on my site and check it phrase by phrase. Most of the tools I've found make you put in two URLs to check against - I need it to check against hundreds.
