<p>wAnswers turns your WordPress site into a structured community Q&A platform. Every question is a WordPress post with its own canonical URL, server-rendered HTML, and complete QAPage JSON-LD schema – the exact format Google uses to surface Q&A content in rich snippets, People Also Ask boxes, and AI Overviews.</p>
<p>No JavaScript rendering. No iframe embeds. No third-party dependencies. No jQuery.</p>
<p><strong>Live demo:</strong> https://wbuild.dev/questions/</p>
<h4>Why wAnswers Is Different: SEO & GEO First</h4>
<p>Most Q&A plugins render everything via a single shortcode page – one URL, no per-question structured data, effectively invisible to crawlers. wAnswers works the opposite way.</p>
<p>Every question gets its own permanent URL (<code>/questions/my-question/</code>). Every page ships with the structured data Google and AI search engines need to surface your content in search results, rich snippets, and AI citations.</p>
<h4>GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation)</h4>
<p>AI search engines like Perplexity, ChatGPT Browse, and Google AI Overviews favour content with clear Q&A structure, explicit authorship, date signals, topic tagging, and Speakable content markers. wAnswers outputs all of these automatically on every question page.</p>
<h4>Core Q&A Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Ask questions with a title and optional body text</li>
<li>Categorise questions by topic (custom taxonomy with live AJAX filter)</li>
