Turn your questions into structured data
Create valid FAQPage JSON-LD and matching HTML from your own questions, from a page, or with AI. Free, no signup.
Free · JSON-LD + HTML · live validation1. Get your questions (or skip and type your own below)
Reads the questions and answers that are already visible on your page (question headings, accordions and definition lists). No AI needed, and the markup then matches what visitors see.

4. Your markup
Paste this into the <head> or anywhere in the <body> of the page that shows these questions and answers.
The questions and answers must be visible on the page for the schema to be valid. Add this block (or your own design) to the page.
Set the right expectations: since 2023 Google shows FAQ rich results only for a small group of well-known government and health websites, so most sites will not see the expandable FAQ in Google results. FAQPage markup is still valid schema.org data that helps machines understand a Q&A section, but it does not guarantee any rich result, ranking or AI citation. Only mark up questions that really appear on the page.
How to use the FAQ Schema Generator
- Get your questions: extract the Q&A already on a page, let AI draft them from a URL, pasted text or a topic, or simply type your own.
- Edit each question and answer in the editor. Keep answers direct, factual and between about 25 and 70 words.
- Review the live validation checks and fix anything marked Fix or Review.
- Copy the JSON-LD and the HTML block and add both to the page so the markup matches what visitors can see.
- Test the page with a structured-data testing tool before and after you publish.
About the FAQ Schema Generator
FAQ schema is structured data that labels the questions and answers on a page so machines can read them reliably. It uses the schema.org FAQPage type with a mainEntity list of Question items, each with an acceptedAnswer. The recommended format is JSON-LD, a small script block that sits alongside your page without changing how it looks.
This FAQ schema generator builds that markup for you. You can extract the questions and answers that already appear on a page, have AI draft new ones from a URL, pasted text or just a topic, or type everything yourself. Each pair is editable, and the tool produces the valid FAQPage JSON-LD (safely escaped so it cannot break your page) plus a matching HTML block, either as an accordion or as plain headings, and a live preview.
A built-in validator checks the things that cause trouble: empty questions or answers, questions without a question mark, duplicate questions, very short or very long answers, and HTML tags in plain-text answers. When the AI writes from your page or your pasted text it is told to use only that content; when it has just a topic it is told to stay general, and the tool warns you to check every answer for accuracy.
Be clear about what FAQ markup can do. Google restricted FAQ rich results in 2023 to a small set of authoritative government and health sites, so most websites should not expect the expandable results. The markup is still a clean, accurate description of a Q&A section, and the questions themselves help visitors and answer engines. Always make sure every marked-up question and answer is visible on the page.
Frequently asked questions
What is FAQ schema?
FAQ schema is FAQPage structured data from schema.org. It labels a list of questions and their answers on a page so search engines and other machines can understand them.
Will FAQ schema give me FAQ rich results in Google?
Probably not. Since 2023 Google shows FAQ rich results only for well-known government and health websites. The markup stays valid and can still help machines understand the page, but there is no guarantee of a rich result.
Which format should I use, JSON-LD or microdata?
JSON-LD is the format Google recommends, and it is the easiest to add and maintain because it sits in one script block.
Must the questions be visible on the page?
Yes. The marked-up questions and answers must appear on the page for users. Marking up content that visitors cannot see goes against structured data guidelines.
How many FAQs should I add?
Add as many as are genuinely useful, usually 4 to 10. Quality and accuracy matter more than quantity.
How long should an FAQ answer be?
About 25 to 70 words works well: answer in the first sentence, then add one or two supporting details.
Can I use HTML in answers?
The schema allows a limited set of HTML tags, but this tool keeps answers as plain text for safety and reliability. Plain text is always valid.
Can the AI-written answers be wrong?
Yes. When it has only a topic it uses general knowledge and may be inaccurate for your business. Review and edit every answer before publishing.
