Introducing Q&A Pages – Every Expert Answer, Now Discoverable by AI

At Featured, our mission has always been simple: help experts and businesses build visibility by sharing their knowledge.

But in 2025, visibility looks different. It’s no longer just about ranking in Google search results — it’s about showing up in AI-generated answers. When a customer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI a question, will your business be mentioned?

The truth is, no one has complete clarity on how to influence AI visibility yet. But we do know one thing for certain: Reddit is the most cited domain across every major AI platform. If your expertise isn’t accessible to LLMs, you risk being invisible in the next era of discovery.

That’s why we built Q&A Pages.

Why We Built Q&A Pages

For years, Featured has been connecting experts with publishers. Over 1.5 million answers have been submitted to 60,000+ questions. But not every answer makes it into a published article — even if it’s insightful and valuable.

We believe all knowledge deserves to be featured. And in the age of AI visibility, making this knowledge discoverable online is critical.

Q&A Pages ensure that every answer on Featured — whether chosen by a publisher or not — is published online in a structured, search-optimized way. This gives experts, businesses, and publishers a better chance of being cited by LLMs, recommended in AI chats, and ultimately discovered by customers.

How Q&A Pages Work

Q&A Pages turn Featured’s massive database of expert insights into a public, structured library that’s easy for both people and AI systems to access.

• Central Hub – Browse and search through 60,000+ questions at featured.com/questions
• Individual Q&A Pages – Every question gets its own page, with all expert answers displayed, whether or not they were selected for publication.
• SEO + AEO Ready – Pages are optimized for both traditional search (SEO) and AI Answer Engines (AEO), making them more likely to be crawled, indexed, and cited.
• Always Free – Q&A Pages are included for every Featured user at no cost.

With Q&A Pages, every expert answer has a permanent home online.

Transparency for Publishers

We know publishers may ask: If Featured publishes Q&A Pages, what happens to our original articles?

Here’s our commitment:

• Boosting Publisher Authority – By linking back to original published pieces, Q&A Pages reinforce the publisher as the canonical source in the eyes of search engines and AI crawlers.
• Clear Attribution – Any answer that was selected and published will be labeled on the Q&A Page with a blue “Published” tag pointing back to the original publisher’s article.
• Different Content, Different Purpose – Q&A Pages show the full breadth of expert insights, not just the handful curated into a final article. That means publishers still benefit from original, edited, and contextualized content — while experts gain visibility from answers that might otherwise never see the light of day.

In short: Q&A Pages amplify, not duplicate. They give publishers credit for what they’ve published, while making the broader conversation accessible to AI systems and audiences everywhere.

Built for AI Discovery

AI systems are increasingly shaping how people discover information. That’s why we’ve built Q&A Pages with AI integrity in mind—ensuring that the knowledge surfaced from Featured is authentic, trustworthy, and human-driven.

Here’s what we’re doing:

• AI Detection on Every Answer: Every answer submitted to Featured is scanned by Pangram AI’s detection tool, giving us a clear signal of whether content was AI-generated.
• Exclusion of Low-Value AI Content: Answers that are AI-generated and not selected by a publisher are excluded from Q&A Pages. This prevents “AI slop” from being indexed or cited by large language models.
• Human Experience First: Q&A Pages prioritize expert answers that contain lived experience, professional context, and personal insights—the kind of content AI systems can’t fabricate.
• Clear Marking and Attribution: When an answer has been selected and published by a media outlet, we label it with a “Featured In” link so crawlers and readers can trace the original context. This ensures AI platforms see the difference between raw expert perspectives and editorially polished stories.
• Structured for AI Discovery: Q&A Pages use schema and structured data so that AI crawlers can understand relationships between questions, answers, experts, and publishers.

The result: when AI systems crawl Featured, they find authentic, attributed, human expertise—not filler.

Why Q&A Pages Matter for Experts and Businesses

For experts and businesses, visibility online has never been harder — or more important. With the rise of AI-driven discovery, being cited by LLMs could mean being recommended to customers at the exact moment of intent.

Q&A Pages make that possible by:

• Giving every answer a permanent, searchable home
• Increasing the likelihood of being crawled and cited by AI platforms
• Building long-term authority in your industry by showcasing consistent expertise

Your knowledge is too valuable to disappear in a database or remain unseen in a discarded draft. With Q&A Pages, every answer finally gets featured.

Q&A Pages: FAQs for Experts

Why did Featured create Q&A Pages?

Because your knowledge deserves visibility—even when it isn’t chosen for publication. Until now, only the answers selected by publishers appeared in live articles. With Q&A Pages, every eligible answer is published online, giving you more opportunities to be discovered by search engines, AI platforms, and customers.

Will all of my answers be published?

Yes, all eligible answers will now appear on Q&A Pages, whether or not they were selected by a publisher. However, we exclude answers from flagged profiles, exclusive-source questions, and 100% AI-generated answers that were not selected.

How does this help me as an expert?

Every answer you write now has a permanent, search-optimized home. That means:

• More chances to be discovered by AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
• Greater long-term visibility in traditional search engines.
• More authority and credibility in your area of expertise, since your insights are consistently published and linked to your profile.

What if my answer is already published in an article?

If your answer is selected by a publisher, the Q&A Page will label it with a “Featured in” link back to the publisher’s article. That way, readers (and crawlers) know where the final story appeared—and you get visibility in both places.

Will Q&A Pages compete with publisher articles?

No. Publisher articles remain the polished, contextual, narrative-driven pieces. Q&A Pages provide the full range of expert answers to a question. If your answer is published in an article, we highlight that fact and link to the original piece—so both you and the publisher benefit.

Do I need to do anything different?

No. Keep submitting answers the same way you always have. Q&A Pages automatically make your work discoverable, with no extra steps required.

Is there a cost to be included on Q&A Pages?

No. Q&A Pages are included for all Featured users at no additional cost.

How do Q&A Pages affect my Featured profile?

Your answers are linked back to your profile, which strengthens your professional presence. As Q&A Pages gain traffic, more readers will discover your profile, your other answers, and your expertise.

What if I don’t want my answers to appear on Q&A Pages?

Answers from exclusive sources or with restrictions are already excluded. If you have a specific request to withhold an answer, you can contact our support team, though we encourage inclusion—because visibility is the key to building your authority.

Q&A Pages: FAQs for Publishers

Will Q&A Pages outrank our article?

They’re designed not to. Your article provides the unique narrative; Q&A Pages aggregate raw expert perspectives. We prominently link back to your piece for any published answer and make the content distinction explicit for crawlers and readers.

Can we keep certain questions/answers off Q&A Pages?

Yes—exclusive sources are omitted. We also exclude flagged profiles, low-signal content, and 100% AI-generated answers that weren’t selected.

Do you attribute our brand visibly?

Yes. Published answers on a Q&A Page display “Featured in: [Your Article Title]” with a link to your site.

Does this add work for our team?

No. Q&A Pages are generated from the existing workflow. You keep reporting; we handle structure, surfacing, and attribution.
