FAQ Schema
Structured data (FAQPage) that marks up question-answer pairs. AI systems use FAQ schema to find direct answers, increasing citation potential for questions.
// Definition
FAQ schema, also known as FAQPage schema, is a type of Schema.org structured data that explicitly marks up question-answer pairs in your content. When you implement FAQ schema using JSON-LD format, you provide AI systems with clear, structured information about questions and answers on your page. AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity parse FAQ schema to find direct answers to user questions, making content with FAQ schema more likely to be cited for question-answering queries. FAQ schema is particularly effective for "What is X?", "How to X?", and other direct question formats.
// Examples
A page about "Schema Markup" with FAQ schema marking up "What is schema markup?" and "How do I implement schema markup?" is more likely to be cited for these questions
A product page with FAQ schema answering common questions about the product gets cited when users ask those specific questions
A guide with FAQ schema for troubleshooting questions helps AI systems provide direct answers
