Questions and Answers widget (Q&A)
Updated over 3 weeks ago

Available on the Awesome plan

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

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

Adding the Questions and Answers widget

To add the Questions and Answers widget to your product pages:

  • From your Judge.me admin, go to Widgets > Questions and Answers > Manage.

  • Enable "Show Q&A tab" to show all questions and answers as a tab in the Review Widget.

  • Enable "Show Q&A badge" to add a small badge linked to the Q&A tab, placed below the product titles.

  • Click Save.


For other platforms

  • To activate the Questions and Answers, go to Settings > Other Widgets > Questions and Answers > Questions and Answers Installation.

  • From here, you can install both the Q&A tab (the dedicated tab in your Review Widget to showcase all the questions and answers) and the Q&A badge (a small badge linked to the Q&A tab, placed below the product titles)

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

  • From your Judge.me admin go to Settings> Review Widget > Review Curation> Web Reviews Spam Filter.

Also, the customers will get notified when you edit their reply in the question thread, but won't get notified when you edit their question or your own reply.
