Faq schema example

FAQPage marks up a page of questions with one official answer each. Google restricted FAQ rich results to well-known government and health sites in August 2023, and in 2026 added a notice to its FAQ docs saying FAQ rich results no longer appear in Search at all. The markup remains valid schema.org and Google says it causes no harm, so this page shows it correctly for sites that keep it.

What Google checks

FAQ docs

Google says FAQ rich results no longer appear in Search, and it is removing the FAQ report and Rich Results Test support (announced May 2026). The markup is harmless and still valid schema.org.

Required: mainEntity

Taken from Google Search Central's documentation for this type. Meeting the requirements makes a page eligible; Google decides whether to show a rich result.

Mistakes the validator catches on FAQPage

Expecting FAQ drop-downs in results
They no longer appear. Keep the markup only if you want it for other consumers; don't chase it for Google rich results.
Using FAQPage for user Q&A threads
Forum-style pages with several answers per question use QAPage, not FAQPage.
Answers missing from the visible page
Every question and answer in the markup must be readable on the page itself.
name vs text mix-ups
The question wording goes in Question.name; the answer goes in acceptedAnswer.text.

Questions

Is FAQ schema deprecated?

The schema.org type isn't. Google's FAQ rich result is: Google says FAQ rich results no longer appear and it is removing the Search Console report and Rich Results Test support.

Should I remove my FAQ markup?

You don't have to. Google says the markup can stay without causing problems. Remove it if it is costly to maintain.

Can I use FAQPage and Article on the same page?

Yes. Several entities can live in one @graph or in separate script blocks.
