FAQPage Schema
Schema.org type for marking up question-and-answer content so search and AI engines can extract Q&A pairs.
Full definition
FAQPage is a schema.org type that wraps a list of Question/Answer pairs. When present, Google can render the FAQ as a rich result and AI engines can extract individual questions and answers verbatim.
FAQ schema is the single highest-ROI on-page change for AI search. Pages with FAQ schema are cited 3-5x more often than equivalent pages without it because each Q&A becomes an independently quotable unit.
Example
<script type='application/ld+json'>{"@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"...","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"..."}}]}</script>Related terms
Structured data (usually JSON-LD) that describes a page's content in a machine-readable way.

Is FAQPage Schema the same as SEO?
No. FAQPage Schema is one piece of the broader GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) program that sits on top of classical SEO. The two work together — classical SEO gets you crawled and indexed; FAQPage Schema is part of what gets you cited by AI engines.
Do I need a tool to implement FAQPage Schema?
For most teams, a free scanner like OptimAIze is enough to identify what's missing. Implementation is usually a copy-paste of generated markup or a small code change — no specialist tool required.
