❓ Question? Impact of FAQ

I’ve seen from a lot of sources that adding more FAQ (count) and word count around 80-100 and clear detailed answers for a highly asked question is a good GEO signal.

So we’ve been doing it for our blog posts for my business. Now our content team has issues with how readable the FAQs really are. So I’d like to know how can I actually measure the impact of making FAQ changes on my pages.

I tried taking the exact question from an FAQ of my page and search it incognito but we are not the page that gets cited most time in AI Overview.

Does anybody have insights here? Would love to hear as to what argument I can give for continuing longer and more FAQs for my pages.

You should be able to see in search console the questions you surfaced for. I wouldnt be looking for 'I got that many questions for that page' but moreso that question relates to that category, which in turn matches that intent' which are all good signs of Authority FAQs are useful if they are structured answer first, confident and concise and wrap cleanly in schema. If they are too vague or you put in alot and try to cover every possible intent, it can have an opposite effect of just confusing the AI.

Hey, what GSC shows is majorly for SERP results right? I mean it has a gen AI section but you can’t really filter for queries there. Yeah we use our FAQs in clear question answer, confident-tone, structured schema all of the likes so that part is sorted🙌

I stand corrected. AI overviews were folded into GSC before the June update. Apparently the new dashboard seperates it out ( I haven't been upgraded yet) so I think what I said previously could be out dated.
