FAQ Schema Generator
Add your questions and answers, and get a valid FAQPage JSON-LD block built live as you type. Validation flags empty fields, duplicates, and answers long enough to get truncated.
What this generator builds
Each row becomes one Question object inside the FAQPage's mainEntity array, with your answer nested as the acceptedAnswer. Rows with an empty question or answer are kept out of the output entirely, so the block you copy is always structurally valid.
The honest state of FAQ rich results
Set your expectations before you ship this. Since August 2023, Google limits FAQ rich results to well-known authoritative government and health websites. If that is not you, your SERP listing will not grow dropdowns from this markup. It is still worth adding: the structured Q&A helps search engines understand the page, and AI answer engines parse FAQPage markup when extracting and citing answers. Just do not promise anyone stars or expandable snippets.
Where to paste this
Copy the whole block, script tags included, and paste it inside your page's
<head> or just before </body>. Use one FAQPage
block per page, make sure every marked-up question is visible on the page, and run
the result through Google's Rich Results Test.
Frequently asked questions
Does FAQ schema still work in 2026?
Partly. Since 2023 Google only shows FAQ rich results for well-known authoritative government and health sites. For everyone else, the dropdowns are gone from the SERP, but the markup is not useless: it still gives search engines and AI answer engines a clean machine-readable map of your Q&A content, which helps them quote and cite you accurately.
Does the FAQ content need to be visible on the page?
Yes. Google's policy requires that every question and answer in the markup is visible to users on the page itself. Marking up Q&A content that only exists in the JSON-LD counts as a structured-data violation and can earn a manual action.
Can I use HTML in the answers?
A limited set. Google allows certain HTML in acceptedAnswer text: links, lists (ul, ol, li), bold and italic, headings, and line breaks. Anything else gets stripped. Keep the question itself plain text.
How many FAQs should I add?
Only the genuine ones that appear on the page. There is no magic number, and padding the list with manufactured questions adds nothing. Quality over count: a handful of questions real users actually ask beats twenty filler entries.
