Knowledge Base

A knowledge base is a structured, searchable library of articles, how-to guides, troubleshooting steps and FAQs. It can be public, for customers, or internal, for employees and support agents.

Why it matters

Many questions repeat. A good knowledge base answers them once, around the clock, which reduces support ticket volume and makes self-service the quickest route for the user. Internally, it keeps procedures and tribal knowledge in one place so new staff ramp up faster and answers stay consistent. Articles appearing in search engines can also bring in organic traffic.

Example

Help centre structure
  Getting started
    - Create your account
    - Add your first site
  Troubleshooting
    - Why is my site reported as down?
    - Fix a certificate warning
  Billing
    - Change your plan

Support agents link the matching article in their reply and note any topic that lacked one.

Common mistakes

• Writing it once and never updating it, so steps no longer match the product.
• Organising by internal team names instead of customer problems.
• Having weak search, so users cannot find existing answers.
• Ignoring feedback and search terms that returned nothing.
