How to use the FAQ schema generator

STEP 1

Add your questions

Write each question the way a customer would ask it, then answer it fully in the first sentence.

STEP 2

Generate the code

The tool builds FAQPage JSON-LD and flags duplicates, missing answers and answers that are too thin.

STEP 3

Paste it into your page

Add the code to the page HTML. Keep the same questions and answers visible on the page.

What FAQ schema does

FAQ schema is structured data that labels your questions and answers so machines can read them without guessing. It uses the schema.org FAQPage type, written in JSON-LD, the format Google recommends.

Is FAQ schema still worth adding?

Google now shows FAQ rich results only for a small group of well-known government and health websites, so most sites won’t get the expandable questions under their search listing. The markup is still worth having. It gives search engines and AI tools a clean, unambiguous copy of your answers, and question-and-answer content is exactly the format AI assistants like to quote.

How to write answers AI tools will quote

Answer the question in the first sentence, then add detail. Keep most answers between 40 and 80 words. Use the words your customers use, cover one topic per question, and make sure every answer also appears on the page. If you want to see whether AI tools already quote you, try our AI Citation Check.

Questions about FAQ schema

Where do I put FAQ schema code?

Add it to the HTML of the page that shows the questions, in the head or the body. On WordPress, a Custom HTML block or a header code plugin works. The questions and answers in the code must match what visitors can see on the page.

Can I add FAQ schema to every page?

Only add it to pages with real, visible FAQ content. Copying the same questions across your whole site adds nothing and can look like spam.

How many questions should I include?

There’s no official limit. Three to ten genuinely useful questions per page is a sensible range. Pick the questions customers actually ask about that page.

How do I test my FAQ schema?

Paste your page URL or the code into the Schema Markup Validator at validator.schema.org, or into Google's Rich Results Test. Both show errors and warnings.

What is the difference between FAQPage and QAPage schema?

Use FAQPage when you write both the questions and the answers. QAPage is for pages with one question and answers submitted by users, such as a forum thread.
