# FAQPage Structured Data — Quick Guide

## What is FAQPage Structured Data?

- It’s a standardized way to mark up a page containing a list of **frequently asked questions (FAQs)** with their answers.
- Helps Google understand the content and may display your FAQs as rich results in Search or Actions on Google Assistant.
- This can improve your site’s visibility and click-through rates by showing questions and answers directly on Google results.

## Key Use Case

- Use FAQPage structured data **only if your page contains static FAQs** written by your site.
- Users **cannot submit alternative answers** to the questions.
- If your page allows user-submitted answers, use **QAPage** schema instead.

## Feature Availability

- Mainly available for **well-known, authoritative government or health-focused sites**.
- Available on desktop and mobile, in all countries/languages where Google Search works.
- Other sites may or may not get FAQ rich results depending on authority and content quality.

## How to Add FAQPage Structured Data

### Required properties:

- "@context": "https://schema.org"
- "@type": "FAQPage"
- "mainEntity": An array of Question objects, each with:

  - "name": The full text of the question
  - "acceptedAnswer": An Answer object with:

    - "text": The full text of the answer (can contain limited HTML tags)

## Example JSON-LD for FAQPage:

{

  "@context": "https://schema.org",

  "@type": "FAQPage",

  "mainEntity": \[

    {

      "@type": "Question",

      "name": "How to find an apprenticeship?",

      "acceptedAnswer": {

        "@type": "Answer",

        "text": "We provide an official service to search through available apprenticeships. To get started, create an account, specify your preferences, and browse all open apprenticeships."

      }

    },

    {

      "@type": "Question",

      "name": "Whom to contact?",

      "acceptedAnswer": {

        "@type": "Answer",

        "text": "You can contact the apprenticeship office via phone or web-form. We usually respond within 7-10 days."

      }

    }

  \]

}

## Important Guidelines for Eligibility

- **Content must be visible on the page** — either fully visible or behind an expandable section.
- Don’t mark up content that’s hidden from users.
- Mark up **only one instance** of repeated FAQs across your site.
- Do **not use FAQPage markup for advertising or promotional content**.
- Content must comply with Google’s content policies — no profanity, hate speech, violence, or illegal content.
- Must include the **full question and answer texts**.
- For pages where users can submit answers, use **QAPage** schema instead.

## Testing & Monitoring

- Use **Google Rich Results Test** to validate your FAQ structured data.
- Use **Google Search Console** to monitor errors, warnings, and rich result performance.
- Fix any critical errors promptly.
- Submit sitemap and request URL recrawl after updates.
- Monitor your Search Console Performance report to track FAQ rich result impressions and clicks.

## Summary

- FAQPage structured data helps Google present FAQ content attractively in search.
- Best for static FAQs on government or health authoritative sites.
- Must follow content visibility and quality guidelines.
- Use QAPage schema if users contribute alternative answers.
