A tab shouldn't mess up Google SEO as far as Google recognizes the content on the page as long as you're not doing anything funky with your tabs where for some reason your content isn't indexing the content within the tabs. You can do a test of this by doing a quick search....take one of your tabs that isn't the default and copy some text with it. For example, look at this tab and you would copy some text within that you highlighted as shown here:
and then do a search on Google and put that copied text in parenthesis as shown here:
In that example you can see that Google is indexing the content just fine and recognizing the content as being part fo your product page.
So, as long as your tabs aren't being managed in some kind of funky way if you add Q&A within an additional tab.....Google should be able to effectively crawl to the Q&A landing pages as well from there. We don't have data that would steer you one way or the other here with tabs vs not in tabs....we've seen effective organic traffic lift on sites who are using both.
Regarding what Google does when the person gets to a page....for the vast majority of queries when the product page is the one that Google chooses to prioritize....Google will simply bring the user to the top of the page and then if the visitor is there for the specific information...they would need to search within that page to find it and move onto the sale. With that in mind, this is what makes Answerbase's intelligent way of managing product Q&A brings the most value....because Google has communicate that it is working to "reward content where visitors feel they've had a satisfying experience" so it's not just about the content on the page...it's the experience when they get into the page and is it a good one.
That is the beauty of the Q&A landing pages that Answerbase spawns....because when there is a demand on Google for the information...the best experience for the searcher is that they easily find that information and THEN they are led to the sale of the product. That is why good Q&A landing page content for questions that are asked on Google are important to support and leading customers to to fulfill their informational needs as a priority and then spawning the sale after that is done.
