Each sub-section should answer a potential question. This approach covers more of the queries generated by fan-out.  <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"53109\" data-end=\"53393\">\n<p data-start=\"53111\" data-end=\"53393\"><strong data-start=\"53111\" data-end=\"53148\">Integrate UGC in sidebars.<\/strong>  Customer testimonials, reviews or partner interviews add variety and authenticity.
