FAQ (FAQPage, Question, Answer) structured data

If your government-focused or health-focused site has a list of questions and answers, you can use FAQPage structured data to help people find that information on Google. Properly marked up FAQ pages may be eligible to have a rich result on Search and an Action on the Google Assistant, which can help your site reach the right users.

Feature availability

FAQ rich results are only available for well-known, authoritative websites that are government-focused or health-focused. The feature is available on desktop and mobile devices in all countries and languages where Google Search is available.

How to add structured data

Structured data is a standardized format for providing information about a page and classifying the page content. If you're new to structured data, you can learn more about how structured data works.

Here's an overview of how to build, test, and release structured data.

1. Add the required properties. Based on the format you're using, learn where to insert structured data on the page.

   Using a CMS? It may be easier to use a plugin that's integrated into your CMS.
   Using JavaScript? Learn how to generate structured data with JavaScript.

2. Follow the guidelines.

3. Validate your code using the Rich Results Test and fix any critical errors. Consider also fixing any non-critical issues that may be flagged in the tool, as they can help improve the quality of your structured data (however, this isn't necessary to be eligible for rich results).

4. Deploy a few pages that include your structured data and use the URL Inspection tool to test how Google sees the page. Be sure that your page is accessible to Google and not blocked by a robots.txt file, the noindex tag, or login requirements. If the page looks okay, you can ask Google to recrawl your URLs.

   Note: Allow time for re-crawling and re-indexing. Remember that it may take several days after publishing a page for Google to find and crawl it.

5. To keep Google informed of future changes, we recommend that you submit a sitemap. You can automate this with the Search Console Sitemap API.
