Questions and answers (Q&A)
Updated this week

Available on the Awesome plan

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) are a great way to improve your customer's knowledge of the products.

Need a dedicated section for questions and answers for your store? If you are on the Awesome plan, you can add a Q&A tab to your Review Widget, and a badge below your product titles.

1. What is the Questions and Answers?

The Questions and Answers helps you collect questions from your store visitors or buyers, and answer these questions publicly on your store or privately via email. By enabling the Q&A section, you can build a set of FAQs for your store. You can also use this user-generated content to help your store rank higher in Google organic search.

Spam filter

  • You can also enable web reviews spam filter to detect spam reviews (available in our Awesome plan). When you enable this, Judge.me will detect and filter out spam reviews coming from the "write-a-review" form on your webpages as well as via API using a third-party spam filter. You can use this setting to filter out spam if you want to continue to allow review creation via the web and API.

  • Judge.me uses OOPSpam to detect spam questions on your store. Any questions detected as spam will be moved to the Spam tab. If any questions are not spam, you can click the "Not Spam" button to move them back to the All Questions tab.

  • In your Judge.me admin go to Collect Reviews > Moderation > Review restriction > Select Filter out spam reviews and questions.


For other platforms
