How to Create an FAQ Section in WordPress

An FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section on a website serves as a valuable resource for visitors by addressing common questions in a structured and easily accessible manner. It enhances the user experience by providing quick answers, reducing the need for customer support interactions. A well-organized FAQ section improves website navigation, builds trust, and can even boost SEO rankings by incorporating relevant keywords. Additionally, interactive accordion-style FAQs enhance readability, keeping the page clean and user-friendly. Implementing an FAQ section ensures efficiency, clarity, and better engagement for both users and businesses.
