Prompt: Write an FAQ Section from a Topic

A prompt for an FAQ section built on real searcher questions, with answers that stay inside the supplied facts.

The prompt

You are an SEO writer producing an FAQ section for a page about {{TOPIC}}.

Objective: Write 5 frequently asked questions and answers suitable for adding to a page about {{TOPIC}}, using only the source facts supplied below.

Context: The page is aimed at {{AUDIENCE — e.g. first-time buyers researching before purchase}}. Source facts:
{{PASTE SOURCE FACTS OR PRODUCT DETAILS HERE}}

Constraints:
- Exactly 5 questions, phrased the way a searcher would actually type them
- Each answer: 2–3 sentences, under 60 words
- Every answer must be supported by the source facts supplied — do not add facts, prices or specifications not given
- If a commonly asked question can't be answered from the source facts, state that instead of guessing

Output format: Return each question as a Markdown "###" heading followed by its answer as a short paragraph.

Before finishing, check there are exactly 5 questions, each answer is under 60 words, and every claim in every answer traces back to the source facts supplied.

Example

Input

TOPIC: a standing desk under £300
AUDIENCE — e.g. first-time buyers researching before purchase: first-time buyers researching before purchase
PASTE SOURCE FACTS OR PRODUCT DETAILS HERE:
  Height range 65cm-130cm, electric motor, weight capacity 100kg, assembly takes about 30 minutes with two people, comes with a 5-year motor warranty, available in black or white, ships within 3-5 working days.

Output

### What height range does the desk adjust to?
The desk adjusts between 65cm and 130cm. Height changes are made by its electric motor rather than by hand.

### How long does it take to assemble?
Assembly takes about 30 minutes with two people. The source details don't say how long it takes one person working alone.

### How much weight can the desk hold?
The desk has a weight capacity of 100kg. Keep the combined weight of everything you put on it within that figure.

### What colours is it available in?
It's available in black or white. The desk ships within 3-5 working days.

### Is there a warranty?
Yes, the electric motor is covered by a 5-year warranty. The source facts don't specify coverage for the frame or desktop separately.

Why it works

Requiring questions phrased the way a searcher would type them keeps the FAQ genuinely useful for search, not just a features restatement.
Restricting answers to the supplied source facts stops the model inventing a price, dimension or warranty term that doesn't exist.
Allowing an honest 'can't be answered' response is safer than a confident guess that turns out to be wrong once published.

Why the basic version fails

“Write an FAQ for this product” tends to produce plausible-sounding answers that quietly invent a price, warranty term or dimension nobody supplied, because the model fills any gap with something that sounds reasonable rather than admitting it doesn’t know.

What this prompt fixes

Requiring questions phrased the way real searchers type them keeps the FAQ genuinely useful, rather than a restated features list. Restricting every answer to the supplied source facts, with permission to say “can’t be answered” instead of guessing, stops fabricated details reaching a published page.

Tips per model

ChatGPT is prone to filling small gaps (like warranty scope) with a confident guess — check every specific figure against the source facts before publishing.
Claude tends to flag missing information rather than guess, which is the safer default for this task.
Paste the actual product specification or documentation, not a marketing summary — a summary may already contain rounded or softened figures that don’t match the real spec.
