Fetching the page…

What this checks

FAQ pairs are among the formats AI answer engines quote most readily, because the question is already matched to a self-contained answer. This pulls out exactly what a machine would read.

  • Every Question marked up in JSON-LD
  • The accepted answer for each
  • Total count

How to act on the result

  • Only mark up questions genuinely visible on the page.
  • Write answers that stand alone, without needing the surrounding page for context.
  • Answer the question in the first sentence. That is the sentence that gets quoted.

Frequently asked

Does FAQ schema still show rich results?

Google restricted FAQ rich results to government and health sites in 2023, so most sites no longer get the visual treatment. The markup remains valuable because it is machine-readable question and answer content, which is exactly what AI answer engines consume.

Is it worth adding FAQ schema now?

For AI visibility, yes. For Google rich results on a commercial site, no longer. Be clear which benefit you are pursuing.

Can I mark up questions not shown on the page?

No. Structured data must reflect visible content. Hidden markup is a policy violation.

How many questions should a page have?

As many as genuinely apply. Ten to fifteen well-chosen questions covers most subjects. Padding with invented questions is obvious to readers.
