FAQ Schema

FAQ schema commonly refers to Schema.org `FAQPage` structured data that identifies a page containing one or more questions with answers provided by the publisher. It describes existing page content for machines; it does not create the visible FAQ. Pages where users can submit multiple answers generally need a different type, such as `QAPage`, when that type accurately represents the content.

Why it matters: Add `FAQPage` only when it accurately describes useful questions and complete answers that visitors can access on the page. Keep the markup consistent with visible content and validate its syntax and properties. Do not add repetitive FAQ blocks or markup solely to occupy more search-result space. Since 2023, Google has limited FAQ rich results to well-known, authoritative government and health sites; for other sites they are not shown regularly, and correct markup never guarantees a rich result or higher click-through rate. Unused markup does not need urgent removal, but maintaining code with no current consumer or product purpose may not be worthwhile.
