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.

Warning
If you are restricting the web reviews, the "Ask a question" button is still displayed if Q&A is enabled.

3. Manage your Questions and Answers

Q&A curation

From the main dashboard, you can access Q&A dashboard from More > Questions and Answers. 

  • In the Q&A dashboard, you can hide, delete, publish, or answer these questions by sending a public or private reply.
  • You can't publish a question automatically but only curate them from the Q&A dashboard.

Ask community

You can also use the "Ask community" feature to ask recent buyers to answer the questions you receive via the Q&A tab on your Review Widget. Your community of buyers will receive an email with an in-mail form where they can give you the answers directly.

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.

Q/A notification email

  • You can optionally notify the visitor who asked the question via email. The notification email can be customized in Settings > Other Emails > Q/A Notification Email. 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.
