Schema Markup for a FAQ Page

Google loves websites with FAQs. Not only are they very helpful to the visitors, but they also help your business answer the most commonly asked questions instead of responding to them one at a time. 

They also help you rank higher on search results. 

The Schema Pro plugin allows you to easily add an FAQ schema on the required pages. You can also keep the existing FAQ page design and add FAQ schema from the backend.

Let’s see how to add FAQ Page schema with easy steps –
