Need Article or Product schema?
Why use it

Valid FAQ markup without hand-writing JSON.

FAQPage markup describes a question-and-answer section in a form any machine can read. Writing it by hand means counting brackets and escaping quotes. This does it for you.

Paste, don't retype

Paste an existing FAQ with Q: and A: lines, or just questions ending in a question mark, and it splits them into pairs for you.

Correct structure

Output uses the schema.org FAQPage, Question and Answer types with name and acceptedAnswer text, the structure Google's documentation describes.

Honest about rich results

Google no longer shows FAQ rich results in Search. We say so up front, so you add the markup for the right reasons.

How it works

Questions in, JSON-LD out.

The code updates as you type.

  1. 1

    Add your FAQ

    Enter questions one by one, or paste the whole section and let it find the pairs.

  2. 2

    Check the pairs

    Review each question and answer. They should match what's visible on the page word for word.

  3. 3

    Paste the script

    Copy the script tag into your page's head or body and validate it with the Schema Markup Validator.

Guide

FAQ schema in 2026: what it still does.

FAQ markup changed status in Google more than once. This is where it stands, how to write it, and when it's worth adding.

What is FAQ schema?

FAQ schema is structured data, written with the schema.org FAQPage type, that marks up a list of questions and their answers on a page. Each question is a Question with a name, and each answer is an Answer inside acceptedAnswer.

It's usually added as JSON-LD: a script block that sits in the page's HTML, separate from the visible content, which is the format this generator outputs.

Does FAQ schema still show in Google?

No. In August 2023 Google limited FAQ rich results to well-known, authoritative government and health websites. On May 7, 2026 it stopped showing FAQ rich results in Google Search altogether.

FAQPage is still valid schema.org markup. Google's Rich Results Test won't list it as an eligible result, but the Schema Markup Validator will check it, and other search engines and tools can still read it.

Is FAQ schema still worth adding?

It's harmless and cheap, so if your page has a genuine FAQ section it's reasonable to describe it accurately. Just don't add it expecting dropdowns under your Google listing, more clicks, or a ranking change.

We don't claim it helps with AI search either. No AI assistant has published whether it reads FAQPage markup, and Google says there are no extra technical requirements for AI Overviews. Clear questions and answers in the visible text are what any reader, human or machine, uses first.

How to add FAQ schema to a page

The markup only describes what's already on the page, so start with a real FAQ section.

  1. 1Write the questions and answers on the page where visitors can see them
  2. 2Add the same pairs here, word for word, or paste the section in
  3. 3Copy the script tag and paste it into the page's head or body
  4. 4On WordPress, use your SEO plugin's FAQ block or a custom HTML block instead of editing the theme
  5. 5Validate the live page at validator.schema.org

FAQ schema rules to follow

Google's structured data guidelines still apply to any markup you publish.

  • Only mark up questions and answers visible on the page
  • Use FAQPage for questions the site answers, not for user-submitted questions (that's QAPage)
  • Keep each question's full text in name and the full answer in acceptedAnswer
  • Don't use it for advertising copy
  • Use one FAQPage block per page, even if the questions appear in several sections

FAQPage vs QAPage

FAQPage is for a list of questions that you, the site owner, have written answers to. QAPage is for a page with one question and answers submitted by users, like a forum thread or a support community post. Q&A rich results are still supported by Google for QAPage, while FAQ rich results are not.

Other schema types to consider

If you want structured data that can still earn rich results, look at the type that matches the page. Article markup for blog posts and guides, Product for product pages with a price, and Breadcrumb for site navigation are all still supported. Our Schema Markup Generator builds Article and Product JSON-LD.
