FAQPage Schema Generator — Curate Questions and Answers
Generate valid FAQPage JSON‑LD for curated FAQs. Keep questions and answers aligned with visible content and manage expectations around limited FAQ display.
Why many FAQ pages underperform
Pain points we solve
- FAQ rich results are limited, leading to inconsistent visibility.
- Hidden or mismatched Q&A content triggers validator issues and policy flags.
- Using FAQPage on non‑FAQ pages confuses search engines and users.
- Manually maintaining JSON‑LD makes it easy to drift from on‑page content.
How SwiftSchema helps
Solution
The FAQPage generator produces a clean `mainEntity` array of Questions with accepted Answers that must match your visible content, reducing policy and validation issues.
Use it only on dedicated FAQ pages; choose QAPage for user‑generated Q&A threads. Our output is copy‑ready to keep content and markup in sync.

What is FAQPage structured data?
FAQPage marks up a publisher‑curated list of questions with their official answers. It improves machine understanding and may qualify for limited FAQ features.
Common Errors & Fixes
- Hidden or mismatched content: ensure JSON‑LD matches on‑page FAQs exactly.
- Wrong page type: use QAPage for forum or user‑generated threads.
- Overuse site‑wide: add FAQPage only where it truly fits.

When should I use FAQPage structured data?Show
Use it on a page that is primarily a list of questions with their answers (an FAQ page). Do not use it on forum posts or individual Q&A threads.
Do FAQ rich results still appear in Google?Show
FAQ display has been limited. Markup can still help machines understand your content; manage expectations on visibility.
Do the answers need to be visible on the page?Show
Yes. The structured data must match the visible content. Don’t include questions or answers that aren’t shown to users.
What’s the difference between FAQPage and QAPage?Show
FAQPage is for a publisher‑curated list of questions with a single official answer each. QAPage is for user‑generated Q&A with multiple answers and one best answer.
