What Is Awesome FAQ?

Awesome FAQ is a lightweight, user-friendly WordPress plugin that lets you create beautiful and responsive FAQ sections using Gutenberg Blocks or shortcodes. It’s perfect for bloggers, business owners, online shops, portfolios, and anyone who needs a simple and elegant way to display frequently asked questions.

FAQ Schema (JSON-LD) is built right in. With one click, your FAQs are marked up with Google-recommended structured data – increasing the chances of rich results and “People Also Ask” snippets in search engines. No extra SEO plugin needed. An analytics dashboard also shows which questions get the most views, clicks, and engagement, so you can continuously improve your content.

The Pro version goes further with an AI-powered FAQ generator: draft product FAQs for WooCommerce using OpenAI (GPT-4o), Anthropic (Claude Sonnet), or the native WordPress 7.0 Connectors API, and generate Q&A content with custom layout prompts right inside the Block Editor.

Why Use Awesome FAQ?

A well-organized FAQ section helps visitors find answers without searching through long pages or contacting support for common questions.

Awesome FAQ lets you:

  • Create FAQs visually with Gutenberg.
  • Display FAQs with shortcodes.
  • Choose from available FAQ themes and layouts.
  • Add FAQ schema markup.
  • Create WooCommerce product FAQs with Pro.
  • Generate FAQ content with supported AI providers.
  • Analyze FAQ interactions with Pro analytics.
  • Let visitors ask questions through the Ask AI block.
  • Display FAQs from WordPress posts or custom post types.
  • Use ready-made FAQ templates and specialized FAQ blocks.

AI-Powered FAQ Builder

Awesome FAQ Pro includes AI-powered tools for creating FAQ content.

You can generate Q&A content directly inside the Gutenberg editor using custom prompts.

For WooCommerce products, the AI FAQ builder can generate product-specific questions and answers using supported AI providers.

Supported AI providers include:

  • OpenAI (GPT-4o)
  • Anthropic (Claude Sonnet)
  • Native WordPress 7.0 Connectors API

The AI features are designed to help you create FAQ content faster while still allowing you to review and edit the generated content before publishing.

WooCommerce Product FAQs

With Awesome FAQ Pro, you can add FAQs directly to WooCommerce product pages.

Choose where your FAQ section appears:

  • In a dedicated product tab
  • Below the product summary

You can write product FAQs manually or use the AI-powered product FAQ generator to create an initial set of questions and answers.

This is useful for:

  • Product specifications
  • Shipping questions
  • Return policies
  • Product usage
  • Compatibility questions
  • Warranty information
  • Customer support questions

FAQ Analytics

Awesome FAQ Pro includes an analytics dashboard that helps you understand how visitors interact with your FAQ content.

Track:

  • FAQ views
  • Question clicks
  • User interactions
  • Popular questions
  • Engagement

Use these insights to identify the questions visitors care about most and improve your FAQ content.

Ask AI block features (Pro)

  • Answers from your own content only – the model receives your matching FAQ snippets and is told to reply from them, so it cannot invent an answer.
  • Source citations – every answer can list the FAQ entries it was built from, which is what makes visitors trust it.
  • Rotating placeholders – example questions cycle through the empty field so visitors know the box is worth using.
  • Suggested question chips – clickable questions under the field that answer instantly.
  • Visitor feedback – a customisable question with 👍/👎 buttons, so you can see which answers miss.
  • Fallback link – send anyone the assistant could not help to your contact or support page.
  • Disclaimer line – editable AI notice under the box.
  • No answer, no guess – when nothing is close enough, the visitor gets related questions instead of a made-up answer.
  • Full design control – colors for every part (heading, input, chips, answer box, labels, sources, feedback text), typography, background, borders, padding, and alignment.

Ask AI Dashboard (Pro)

Everything the assistant does is reported under Awesome FAQ → Ask AI, built around the two questions a site owner actually has: what is this costing me, and what are people asking that I have not answered yet.

Dashboard Features:

  • Questions today with a trend against the previous 7 days.
  • Answered for free – how many replies came from the cache or straight from a FAQ, so cost nothing.
  • AI calls today against your daily allowance.
  • Unanswered – questions no FAQ covered.
  • Found helpful – 👍 and 👎 totals from visitors.
  • A daily bar chart splitting every answer into cached, from a FAQ, and answered by AI, so you can see whether questions are growing and how much of the load stays free.

How Does FAQ Schema Work?

Awesome FAQ can add FAQPage JSON-LD structured data to applicable FAQ content.

Structured data provides search engines with information about the FAQ content on a page.
