FAQ Schema: How to Get Cited by ChatGPT and Google
Pages with FAQ schema are significantly more likely to appear in AI answers and Google rich snippets. Here's how to add it — with copy-paste code.
FAQ schema (FAQPage JSON-LD) tells Google and AI engines exactly what questions your page answers. It's one of the highest-ROI technical SEO fixes for startups.
Why FAQ schema works
- Google shows FAQ rich snippets — more SERP space, higher click-through rate
- AI engines extract Q&A pairs directly from structured data
- Forces you to write content that matches real customer questions
- Takes 10 minutes to implement
Copy-paste FAQ schema template
Add this inside a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in your page head or body:
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "FAQPage",
"mainEntity": [{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What is [Your Product]?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "[Direct one-sentence answer]"
}
}]
}Which FAQs to add
Use questions customers actually ask: "What is X?", "How much does X cost?", "X vs Y — which is better?", "Is X free?". Growlit's action plan suggests specific FAQs based on your scan results.
