| 5 | **When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output. |

| 7 | ## FAQ and Rich Results |
| 8 | |
| 9 | | Feature | Relationship | Optimization | |
| 10 | |---------|--------------|---------------| |
| 11 | | **People Also Ask (PAA)** | FAQ schema triggers PAA-style dropdowns; PAA questions = FAQ source | FAQPage schema; match question phrasing; "how/what/why" format. PAA ~51% of searches. See **serp-features** | |
| 12 | | **Featured Snippet** | Answers extracted for position zero | 40-60 words; answer-first; H2/H3; paragraph (70%), list (19%), table (6%). See **featured-snippet** | |
| 13 | | **GEO / AI Overviews** | AI cites FAQ blocks; FAQ most cited content type (3-7x more citations) | Self-contained; 40-80 words; entity signals; content in initial HTML. See **geo** | |
| 14 | | **People Also Search For (PASF)** | Appears when user bounces; comprehensive FAQ reduces bounce | Match intent; cover related questions. PASF shows 6-8 related queries. | |
| 15 | | **FAQ rich result** | FAQPage schema; max 2 dropdowns per SERP | Restricted to government/health in many regions; schema still helps PAA, voice, AI | |
| 16 | |
| 17 | **PAA vs PASF**: PAA = expandable question boxes (same SERP). PASF = related queries after bounce. Both benefit from comprehensive, intent-matching content. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | ## Content Sources |
| 20 | |
| 21 | **Real user**: Support tickets, chat logs, sales objections, surveys, reviews. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | **Rich-result purpose**: PAA (search keyword, extract questions), AnswerThePublic, AlsoAsked, Featured Snippet queries, competitor FAQ, keyword research, GEO citation data. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | **Reverse flow**: Use PAA, Featured Snippet, GSC Search queries to find questions you rank for but don't answer. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | ## Content Structure |
| 28 | |
| 29 | | Approach | When | Example | |
| 30 | |----------|------|---------| |
| 31 | | **Page topic** | In-page section | 3-8 questions about that page | |
| 32 | | **Theme** | Dedicated page | Group by Billing, Features, Support, Compliance | |
| 33 | | **Logical flow** | Decision funnel | Awareness -> Consideration -> Purchase -> Support | |
| 34 | | **Objection handling** | Conversion | "Is it worth it?" "Can I cancel?" | |
| 35 | |
| 36 | **Page-specific**: LP (objection handling); pricing (billing, plans, enterprise); alternatives (migration, comparison); category (materials, recommendations); tools (what is X, how calculated). See **landing-page-generator**, **pricing-page-generator**, **alternatives-page-generator**, **category-pages**, **tools-page-generator**. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | ## Dedicated FAQ Page vs In-Page FAQ Section |
| 39 | |
| 40 | | Dimension | Dedicated Page | In-Page Section | |
| 41 | |-----------|----------------|-----------------| |
| 42 | | **Placement** | /faq, /help, standalone URL | Within LP, pricing, blog, product page | |
| 43 | | **Count** | 5-30 (5-10 optimal) | 3-8 | |
| 44 | | **Structure** | Categories, TOC, navigation | Inline; after main content | |
| 45 | | **Schema** | One FAQPage per page | Same; schema matches visible Q&A | |
| 46 | | **When to use** | Many questions; support/help hub; central FAQ | Objection handling; page-specific long-tail; conversion | |
| 47 | | **Related pages** | contact-page, docs-page, website-structure | landing-page, pricing-page, blog, alternatives, category-pages, tools-page | |
| 48 | |
| 49 | **Shared rules**: Word count, content rules, format, and schema apply to both. Choose placement based on question volume and page purpose. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | ## Accordion: Crawlable? |
| 52 | |
| 53 | **Yes.** Google indexes accordion content fully; hidden content receives full weight. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | **Requirements**: Content in DOM at load (no AJAX on click); use `<details>`/`<summary>` or server-rendered HTML; first item expanded. Avoid `display: none` for primary content. See **tab-accordion**, **rendering-strategies**. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | **Nuance**: Some tests suggest visible content outperforms hidden. Use accordion for secondary FAQ; keep primary Q&A visible. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | ## Best Practices |
| 60 | |
| 61 | ### Word Count |
| 62 | |
| 63 | | Element | Range | Notes | |
| 64 | |---------|-------|------| |
| 65 | | **Answer** | 40-80 words | Sweet spot for AI; under 40 = incomplete; over 80 = cut off | |
| 66 | | **Featured Snippet** | 40-60 words | 45 words most common | |
| 67 | | **First sentence** | 40-50 words | Answer immediately | |
| 68 | | **Sentences** | 2-4 | Standalone, comprehensive | |
| 69 | |
| 70 | ### Content Rules |
