describes a page of frequently asked questions (FAQ) and their answers in a machine-readable way. Each question is marked up as a Question with an acceptedAnswer.
The key rule: FAQ markup may only be used for visible FAQ content. The questions and answers in the markup must match the visible page content.
It suits pages such as:
- FAQ and help pages,
- support articles,
- guides with genuine common questions.
The prominent display as a in Google is now heavily restricted; Google shows it mainly for authoritative government and health sites. FAQ markup is therefore no longer a guaranteed click-through lever. For forums with multiple user answers, the QAPage type is more appropriate than FAQPage.
