Now, when a person first wants to write to you in Direct, they will display frequently asked questions to choose from. As you remember, there can be no more than four of them.

In addition to frequently asked questions, do not forget to set up quick replies in Yandex.Direct, which will be the answers to these questions.

What questions to make?

To determine the questions that will be automatically offered to the user, analyze your correspondence with clients in Yandex.Direct and select the questions that are most common. Then just add according to the instructions above. Here are examples of what these questions might be.

For the company:

• Is there a delivery?
• How much is a bouquet of 25 roses?
• How long do you work?

For blogger:

• How much does an ad in a post cost?
• How much does advertising in Stories cost?
• Can I work with you on a barter basis?

Also, if you see that there are new questions that have begun to be asked more often, then do not forget to change them in the settings.

Previously, Instagram began testing the “Close Friends” filter in private messages, and there were also ad personalization settings.
