SCHEMA_GEN v2.6 — SESSION INITIALIZED
Type your questions and answers below. Valid FAQPage JSON-LD compiles on the right, ready to paste into your site.
FAQ schema tells any parser, human or AI, exactly which text on your page is a question and which is the answer. That removes ambiguity that formatting alone can't resolve, and it costs almost nothing to add once your questions and answers are written.
FAQPage remains a valid schema.org type, and Google has said it will keep parsing it to understand your page. Structured data works as a clarity signal for AI platforms too, though Google has confirmed no special schema is required for AI Overviews specifically.
Google retired the FAQ rich result, the expandable dropdown that used to appear in search results, in May 2026, for every site, including the government and health sites that had kept it since the 2023 restriction. Adding this schema won't bring that snippet back, but the structural clarity it gives parsers still holds.
FAQ schema, or FAQPage structured data, is a block of JSON-LD code that marks up question-and-answer content in a machine-readable format. It tells search engines and other parsers which text on your page is a question and which text is its answer, without them having to infer it from headings or formatting.
It no longer earns the expandable dropdown snippet in Google search results. That feature was restricted to government and health sites in 2023 and fully retired for every site in May 2026. The schema type itself is not deprecated, and Google has said it will continue to parse it for page understanding. The realistic benefit today is cleaner content structure, not a visible SERP feature.
Google has stated no special schema is required for AI Overviews or AI Mode. Structured data functions as a trust and clarity signal, reducing ambiguity about what your content says, rather than a guaranteed citation mechanism. Some third-party research has found correlation between structured content and higher AI citation rates, but this is not confirmed by Google as causal, and no platform has published a required schema type for citation.
Copy the generated code and paste it inside a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag, placed in your page's <head> or just before the closing </body> tag. Most CMS platforms, including WordPress and Webflow, support this through a custom code or embed block.
Include only the questions a reader would genuinely ask about that specific page. There is no minimum or maximum, but padding a page with generic questions to add more markup produced the spam pattern that led Google to restrict, then retire, the rich result in the first place. Match the schema to content that's already visible on the page.
