How to position your pages to get direct answers to questions (DAQ)?
To position your web pages to get the maximum direct responses, you need to optimize the following factors:

Answer the question as soon as possible. (Hint: in the first sentence of the first paragraph.)

State the question first, then answer in a way that makes it easier for Google to tag your page as the best possible answer. For example: For a question like “What is the full name for NASA?”, try an answer like “NASA’s full name is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.”

Don't end your answer abruptly. Instead, continue elaborating on your answer after you have provided the response. This will give sufficient weight to your answer and the overall content.

Improve your website's trustworthiness by providing solid information, answering questions, not stealing content, and avoiding shady SEO practices.

Push the boundaries when creating educational content pieces on a topic. Let Google see that you are a trusted source of information for your users.
