<h3>Get Set Up in No Time!</h3>
<p>When you first activate the Ultimate FAQ plugin, it will automatically run a walk-through, which will help you create your FAQs and add them to a page.</p>
<h3>Google Optimized</h3>
<p>The plugin includes full FAQPage and FAQ schema structured data markup, in LD+JSON format. So, when your page is indexed, Google will know it’s an FAQ page and can list it accordingly in search results.</p>
<h3>Multiple Languages? We’ve got you covered!</h3>
<p>Your FAQs are created using a post type. This means it works out of the box with language plugins like WPML, Loco Translate and Polylang. There are also many community translations already available <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/ultimate-faqs/" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.

The FAQ comments make use of WordPress’s built-in comment engine, which means seamless integration and you can use WordPress’s comment and moderation settings to fine tune the experience.</p>
<h3>Use AI to Generate FAQs</h3>
<p>You no longer need to manually create all your FAQs. Let the plugin do the heavy lifting for you! We now offer Open AI integration, via which the plugin will automatically generate new FAQs for you. You just need to specify which page or post should be used and the plugin will automatically create the FAQ based on the content of it. You can also choose to automatically assign an FAQ to a category. You then get a chance to review the generated content before publishing it to your site.</p>
<h4>Premium AI-generated FAQs</h4>
<p>In the premium version you will get access to create up to 20 AI-generated FAQs at a time as well as to specify multiple pages and/or posts from which the content should be pulled to generate the FAQs.</p>
<p><em>Privacy note: The plugin sends post or page content to our server, which is forwarded to Open AI when using the AI FAQ generation feature. No other data is sent to external sources.</em></p>
