Definition

What is faqpage schema?

FAQPage schema is the schema.org markup that declares a webpage as a frequently-asked-questions resource, with each question and answer wrapped in Question and Answer objects. AI engines extract these directly into response answers, often without needing to fully read the page.

FAQ

FAQPage schema questions from South Africa operators

Should every page have FAQPage schema?
No. Only pages with a genuine FAQ block. Adding the schema without matching visible content is schema spam and can lead to Google penalties.
How many questions per FAQPage?
3 to 10. Below 3 reads as thin; above 10 dilutes per-question extraction probability.
Can we use FAQPage on product pages?
Yes, as long as the FAQ block is visible and the answers are about the product or category.
Does the order of questions matter?
It matters for extraction. The first 1-2 questions are the most likely to surface in AI responses, so lead with the highest-volume buyer questions.
Can answers contain links?
Yes. Internal links inside answers help both readers and crawl depth. External authority links inside answers help trust signals.
