An Elfsight FAQ alternative that grows itself

Elfsight's FAQ widget shows the questions you type into it. Actually Asked writes its first entries from your pages, answers the questions visitors ask in their own words, and adds the ones asked most to your FAQ.

Elfsight and Actually Asked, side by side
Topic Elfsight Actually Asked
Where the questions come from You type each question and answer, or start from a template. The first entries are written from your site, then the questions visitors ask most are added on their own.
A visitor's own question Visitors read the entries you wrote. Visitors ask in their own words, or highlight any sentence and ask about it. Answers come from your site, your help center and the files you upload.
Keeping it current You edit the entries yourself. On its own. A question visitors keep asking is answered and added to your FAQ, each read of your site suggests more, and entries you edited are never rewritten.
Looks Templates and style settings in Elfsight's editor. It takes your site's fonts and colours, and your own styles win.
Install Embed code on 24 platforms and more, including Shopify, WordPress, Wix and Squarespace. Anywhere you can paste two lines of HTML, and in Shopify as a theme block.

What your site gets.

  • Two lines to install

    Paste a div and a script, or add the block in your Shopify theme editor.

  • Real HTML

    Plain questions and answers in your page's HTML, with FAQ structured data, so search engines read every entry. On Shopify they're in the page before any script runs.

  • Your colours, your radius

    Pick a look, then change the colours, corners and spacing in the widget editor. The preview updates as you type.

  • Groups and page rules

    Group entries under Shipping, Returns and Sizing. Show different entries on different pages with URL rules.
