FAQ Schema Markup Explained
FAQ schema markup (also called FAQPage structured data) is a way to tell search engines that your page contains a list of questions with answers. When implemented correctly, Google can display your Q&As directly in search results as rich snippets.What Rich Snippets Look Like
FAQ rich snippets appear as expandable question-answer pairs below your search listing, significantly increasing your result's visual size and click-through rate.Benefits of FAQ Schema
| Benefit | Impact ||---------|--------|
| Increased SERP real estate | 2-3x more visible listing |
| Higher click-through rate | +15-30% more clicks |
| Voice search compatibility | Answers used by voice assistants |
| AI search citations | LLMs reference structured Q&As |
| Featured snippet eligibility | Higher chance of position zero |
