# How to use AEO Q\&A Generator in PageFly

What is AEO Q\&A Generator?

* AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) helps your pages get cited by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity
* PageFly's built-in AEO Q\&A Generator uses AI to analyze your page content and generate FAQ question-and-answer pairs
* Generated Q\&A is inserted as an Accordion element with FAQPage Schema markup (JSON-LD)
* This helps your pages appear as rich results on Google and get cited by AI engines

Requirements

* Page must have at least 50 words of text content (headings, paragraphs, product descriptions, etc.)

* Uses AI credits from your PageFly AI credit pool (2 credits per generation)

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Open the AEO Drawer

* In the PageFly editor, find the AEO icon in the left toolbar (has a blue "New" dot)
* Click the icon to open the AEO Q\&A Generator drawer

Step 2: Generate Q\&A pairs

* The drawer shows your page's content word count
* If your page has enough content (50+ words), click "Generate AEO Q\&A"
* AI analyzes your page content and generates 6 Q\&A pairs (takes a few seconds)
* Loading shows two steps: "Analyzing page content..." → "Generating Q\&A pairs..."

Step 3: Review and edit Q\&A pairs

* Each Q\&A card includes:
  * A checkbox to select/deselect
  * The question text (click to expand)
  * The answer text (editable when expanded)
  * An intent tag (product, shipping, how-to, comparison, use-case)
  * A word count for the answer
* Click any card to expand and see the full answer
* Edit both question and answer text directly
* Use checkboxes to select which pairs to insert

Step 4: Insert Q\&A into your page

* Click "Insert to page" at the bottom of the drawer
* Selected Q\&A pairs are inserted as a single Accordion element at the bottom of your page
* FAQPage Schema (JSON-LD) is automatically generated and included when you publish

Step 5: Regenerate (optional)

* Click "Regenerate" to get a new set of Q\&A pairs
* Note: regenerating replaces the current Q\&A pairs

Step 6: Publish your page

* Save and publish your page as usual
* FAQPage Schema markup is automatically injected into the published page HTML

Tips

* Write enough content first — pages with detailed descriptions produce better Q\&A
* Edit the answers — AI-generated answers are a starting point, adjust to match your brand voice
* Keep answers concise — AI search engines prefer clear, direct answers (2-4 sentences)
* Check intent tags — a good mix of types (product, shipping, how-to) covers more search queries
* Don't delete the Accordion — removing it also removes Q\&A and schema. Regenerate from AEO drawer if needed
* Q\&A persists across sessions — your generated Q\&A is saved. Close the drawer or leave the editor, it will still be there when you come back

FAQ

* How many AI credits does it cost?
  * Each generation uses 2 AI credits from your shared AI credit pool
* Can I use this on any page type?
  * Yes — landing pages, product pages, collection pages, blog pages, and custom pages all support AEO Q\&A
* Will the FAQ Schema appear on Google immediately?
  * No. Google needs to recrawl your page after publishing. This can take days to weeks. Use Google Search Console to request indexing for faster results
* What if my page doesn't have enough content?
  * The generator requires at least 50 words. Add more headings, paragraphs, or product descriptions before generating
* Can I customize the Accordion design?
  * Yes. After insertion, the Accordion works like any other PageFly element — change styling (colors, fonts, spacing, border) via the Inspector panel
