How to add this to your site

Integration guide

Step-by-step for your platform

Copy the generated JSON-LD code from above.
Open the HTML file of the page where your FAQ appears.
Paste the full <script type="application/ld+json">...</script> block inside the <head> section: or just before </body>.
Make sure the questions and answers you schema-mark are visible on the page. Google requires visible content to match the schema.
Validate with Google's Rich Results Test.

Install a plugin like Rank Math, Yoast SEO, or Insert Headers and Footers.
If using Rank Math: go to the page and Rank Math panel and Schema and Add Schema and FAQ, and enter your pairs directly. (No need to paste JSON-LD.)
If using Insert Headers and Footers: paste the generated JSON-LD block into the footer/head section for that specific page, or use a page-specific custom field.
For block editor users: add a Custom HTML block to the page and paste the JSON-LD there.

Copy the JSON-LD object (inner JSON only, not the <script> tag).
In your page component, add a <Script> tag from next/script:

<Script id="faq-schema" type="application/ld+json"
  dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
    __html: JSON.stringify(faqSchema)
  }}
/>

For the App Router, use export const metadata or inject via a server component.
If you render FAQs from a CMS, build the schema object dynamically from the same source: never hardcode content that doesn't match what renders.

Go to Online Store and Themes and Edit Code.
Open theme.liquid (or the specific template where your FAQ appears, like page.faq.liquid).
Paste the full <script type="application/ld+json">...</script> block inside the <head> section.
If your FAQs come from page metafields, use Liquid templating to build the schema dynamically so it always matches the rendered content.
Save and validate with Google's Rich Results Test.

In Google Tag Manager, create a new Custom HTML tag.
Paste the entire <script type="application/ld+json">...</script> block into the HTML field.
Set the trigger to fire only on the specific pages where the FAQ content is visible. Do not fire site-wide: that's a Google guidelines violation.
Submit and publish the container.
Verify with Google's Rich Results Test. GTM-injected schema is valid as long as it renders before crawlers index.

Frequently asked questions

What is FAQPage schema?

Schema.org markup that identifies Q&A content on a page. Qualifies for FAQ rich results in Google (expandable Q&A snippets below the title).

Did Google remove FAQ rich results?

Google reduced FAQ rich result display in 2023 for most sites, keeping them for government and health domains. Markup is still parsed and feeds AI engines.

Is FAQ schema worth adding then?

Yes. AI engines (Perplexity, ChatGPT) parse FAQ schema for direct citation. Markup future-proofs you if Google re-expands display.

How many Q&A pairs minimum?

Google rich result requires 2 minimum. For AI engine citation value, 6 to 10 is a good baseline.

Can questions include HTML?

The question text must be plain text. Answers can contain basic HTML (p, strong, a).

Should questions mirror actual search queries?

Yes. Use real questions people search. The Content Brief Generator surfaces common questions from SERPs.

Can I have duplicate questions on different pages?

Each FAQPage block should be unique to that page's topic. Repeating identical FAQs sitewide is a flag for low-quality template content.

What is the mainEntity property?

The array of Question objects in a FAQPage. Each Question has a name (the question) and acceptedAnswer (the answer).

Can one page have multiple FAQPage blocks?

Technically yes but Google prefers one FAQPage per page with all questions in mainEntity.

What is a HowTo vs FAQ?

FAQ is Q&A format. HowTo is step-by-step. Different schemas with different rich result eligibility. See the HowTo generator.

How is this different from writing FAQs in a Google Doc?

The schema is the machine-readable structured representation. Google reads it, AI engines read it, screen readers can read it. Your Google Doc stays private.
