we have an FAQ page on the site with 50 Q&As. i want to show this to Google with structured data. what do I need to do to see the FAQ expansion (accordion opening) in search results?
should I add JSON-LD schema or HTML meta tags? honestly we have Yoast SEO, can we use the plugin?
FAQ schema (FAQPage) is written in JSON-LD format. Thanks to this schema, Google can display FAQ accordions in search results, which can increase CTR by 20-40%.
Implementation: 1) Open Yoast SEO / Rank Math, activate the FAQ block. 2) Add mainEntity and acceptedAnswer for each question. 3) Test with Google's Rich Results Test. 4) If no errors, request indexing in Search Console.
i had FAQ schema too but the accordion wasnt opening... then I checked the Yoast settings turns out the 'FAQ block' was off. once I tuurned it on I saw the expansion on Google 2 weeks later.
Edit: asked below, I wrote the answer in the second message.
FAQ Schema Setup: 1. Add JSON-LD (FAQPage) 2. mainEntity: Question+Answer 3. Yoast: Is 'Rich snippets > FAQ' active? 4. Google Rich Results Test 5. Errors resolved? → request indexing 6. 1-4 weeks: accordion shows up on Google
Quick setup: 1) Yoast SEO > Search Appearance > Rich Snippets > FAQ = ON. 2) Add FAQ block on the page (Question/Answer). 3) Test on Google. 4) If no issues, you're done.
FAQ schema shows Google you answer customer questions quickly. Google values this for user experience. But it must be 90% correctly formatted.
edit: fixed a few typos.
Let me summarize whats been said so far. Dont hesitate to ask; those who dont ask always pay more.
Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once. I mean hope this helps.
absolutely but if I were to add anything: Internal linking is the cheapest and most neglected task.
people defend habits not processes. resistance comes from there. if you post the result here, it will help others too.
Exactly like that. If it's your first time, start small; scaling comes later.
That's all, sorry if I went on too long.
My perspective changed after experiencing that. Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.
Good luck with that.
I was thinking the same thing. Updating an existing page yields faster results than creating a new one.
Let's separate the concepts, they're getting mixed up. When making decisions, write down the worst-case scenario too, not just the best.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm a small business, let me explain from my side. Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.
Merge instead of deleting; deleted content doesn't come back. Good luck with that.
You're right. When making decisions, write down the worst-case scenario too, not just the best.
Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once. If you post the result here, it will help others too.
If you're going this route, sort this out first. People defend habits, not processes. Resistance comes from there.
Let me speak from the other side; Im on the supplier side. btw just because everyone does it doesnt mean its right.
Correct me if Im wrong.
