FAQPage (schema.org)

The FAQPage schema is a schema.org format for marking up genuine question-and-answer pairs that are visible on the page, so that search engines and AI systems can read them.

In practice

Worth knowing: since August 2023 Google had already been showing the FAQ rich result snippet only for a small number of authoritative health and government sites. In May 2026 it discontinued that display entirely, including for those remaining exceptions, so nobody now gets an FAQ snippet in search results. The FAQPage schema remains worthwhile all the same and does not need to be removed: it is still valid schema.org, it helps search engines understand the page, and in our experience structured question-and-answer pairs are among the most reliable citation signals for AI answer systems – a case where the AEO benefit and the classic rich result benefit diverge.
