Can you give me any tips on how to ask my question in order to get relevant and informative answers?

Our advice is to be as specific as possible when you ask our question. It’s good practice to write a short heading (e.g., ‘Child-friendly activities in San Francisco’) and then add a paragraph or two with more background info (e.g., ‘We are planning a family trip to San Francisco in August with our 7 and 10-year-old daughters.  They are very keen on outdoor activities so can you please recommend some day trips or other child-friendly and age-appropriate things to do in San Francisco and the Bay Area in the second week of August.’) Adding a featured image or video might help with a better response rate.
