How to use FAQ Schema Builder

What the tool does, how to run it, and what to expect from the result.

How to build FAQ schema

To build FAQ schema, add a row for each question and its answer, and the FAQ Schema Builder assembles the matching FAQPage JSON-LD as you type. When you are done, copy the generated block or download it to paste into your page's head or template.

The form-based approach handles the JSON structure for you, so you focus on the content rather than the syntax. Add, edit, or remove rows freely, and the live output stays in sync with your question and answer list.

  • Add a row per question and answer
  • Watch the JSON-LD build live
  • Copy or download the block
  • Edit or remove rows anytime

Why a form-based builder helps

Most FAQ schema work is really content assembly rather than hand-writing JSON. A form-based builder cuts the friction and removes the common syntax mistakes, like missing brackets or unescaped quotes, that break structured data.

The FAQ Schema Builder produces practical JSON-LD that follows the FAQPage structure. It does not guarantee rich-results eligibility, since that depends on Google's policies and your page, but it gives you a clean, correctly shaped block to start from.

  • Avoids manual JSON syntax errors
  • Follows the FAQPage structure
  • Practical starting point for structured data
  • Not a rich-results eligibility checker
Tips

Getting a better result out of FAQ Schema Builder

Specific settings and thresholds, not general advice.

  • Since August 2023 Google shows FAQ rich results only for well-known authoritative government and health sites. For everyone else the markup is still parsed and still useful to answer engines, but it no longer produces the expanded FAQ block in Search. Build it for that reason, not for the old snippet.
  • A row is only included when both the question and the answer have text. Empty rows are dropped silently, so if your question count comes back lower than the rows you filled, one field in a pair is blank.
  • Google requires the question and answer text to be visible on the page itself. FAQPage markup describing content that exists only in the JSON-LD is a structured data violation, not a shortcut.
  • FAQPage is for content where the site provides the single answer. If your users post competing answers, the correct type is QAPage with an acceptedAnswer and suggestedAnswer, which this builder does not generate.
  • The answer text is written into the JSON exactly as typed. Google allows a limited set of HTML inside the answer, including paragraphs, links and lists, so paste the markup you want rather than plain text if the on-page answer contains it.
Limits

What FAQ Schema Builder does not do

The honest boundary, so you do not lose time finding it yourself.

  • Generates a bare FAQPage. There is no @id, url, inLanguage or isPartOf field.
  • Does not wrap the output in a script type=application/ld+json tag. You add that yourself.
  • Does not validate the result against schema.org or the Rich Results Test. It builds the JSON, it does not grade it.
  • Does not check for duplicate questions, answer length, or whether the same FAQ block is already on the page.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Does this validate rich-results eligibility?

No. The FAQ Schema Builder generates practical FAQPage JSON-LD. Rich-results eligibility depends on Google's policies and your page.

Can I copy the JSON-LD directly?

Yes. The generated output stays copyable and downloadable so you can paste it straight into your page.

Does this tool upload my content?

No. The FAQ Schema Builder runs entirely in your browser, so your questions and answers are never uploaded.

Is the FAQ Schema Builder free?

Yes. It is free to use, with no account and no upload required.

How many questions can I add?

You can add as many question and answer rows as you need, and the JSON-LD updates live for each one.

Will this get me FAQ rich results in Google?

Almost certainly not, and you should know that before you spend an hour on it. Google restricted FAQ rich results to authoritative government and health sites in August 2023. The markup still has value: it is machine-readable structure that answer engines and other consumers of schema.org read, and it costs almost nothing to ship.

Do I need to add a script tag around the output?

Yes. The builder produces the JSON-LD object only. On the page it has to sit inside a script element with type set to application/ld+json, usually in the head or at the end of the body. Pasting the raw JSON into HTML does nothing.

How many questions should I include?

There is no technical limit in the builder or in schema.org, and every filled row becomes a Question entry. The practical constraint is Google's rule that each question and answer must appear on the page for a real user, so the count should match the FAQ section you actually wrote.

Can I use HTML inside an answer?

Google accepts a limited set of tags inside the answer text, including headings, paragraphs, links, and ordered and unordered lists. The builder passes your text through as-is and JSON encoding takes care of escaping, so the markup you type is the markup that ends up in the block.

Is anything sent to a server?

No. The JSON-LD is assembled in your browser from the fields you filled in. Nothing is uploaded, which means you can draft schema for an unreleased page or an internal product without it leaving the machine.

FAQPage or QAPage?

FAQPage is for a list of questions where you, the publisher, give the one official answer. QAPage is for a single user-submitted question with community answers, as on a forum. Using FAQPage for a forum thread, or QAPage for a support article, is a misuse that Google's guidelines call out explicitly.
