Definition FAQ schema defines Question and Answer objects under the FAQPage type. Each question binds to a Question and each answer to an acceptedAnswer.

How it works The JSON-LD block lives inside <script type="application/ld+json">. Google validates FAQ schema and renders rich results where appropriate. Generic FAQ rich snippet visibility was restricted in 2023 to mostly authoritative and government sites. AI Overview and Bing Copilot still use FAQ schema as a signal during answer synthesis.

Where you see it in Scope Trends **Schema Sentinel** validates page FAQ schema and detects missing Q&As. **Brief Producer** appends FAQ suggestions to every brief.

Frequently asked questions **Add FAQ schema to every page?** Only on pages with real Q&A content. Inserting fake FAQs into other pages is schema spam.

**Use the same question on multiple pages?** If the content truly answers the same question, possible, but Google consolidates duplicate FAQs.
