FAQPage schema

FAQPage is a schema.org type for marking up a page whose visible content contains questions and answers. Google stopped showing FAQ rich results on May 7, 2026, and states that no special schema is required for AI Overviews or AI Mode. The markup can remain valid, but it does not guarantee extraction or citation.

In plain terms

Each marked Question and acceptedAnswer should correspond to content a user can see on the page.

A visible, direct answer can be useful to readers and retrieval systems even when no consumer uses the FAQPage JSON-LD.

Treat FAQPage as semantic labeling, not as a high-impact ranking or citation shortcut.

Why it matters

Visible question-and-answer content can serve readers and retrieval systems even when no platform consumes the JSON-LD.

Matching markup to visible content prevents contradictory machine-readable claims and is what GetCited.me can audit deterministically.

How it relates to GetCited.me

GetCited.me's audit checks whether FAQPage JSON-LD exists and whether a matching visible FAQ can be detected. Its content pipeline can generate FAQPage JSON-LD only when the draft contains a qualifying FAQ structure.
