What changed#

Google's FAQ structured data page records that the feature is only shown for well-known, authoritative government and health websites. Most business sites will not get the expandable questions under their result any more.

What is still worth doing#

  • Write the questions people really ask, as headings.
  • Answer each one in the first sentence under it.
  • Keep any FAQPage markup matched to the visible text.

Answers engines can quote#

A labelled question and answer is easy to cite. The audit flags question and answer sections on your pages and can add the matching markup. SEO and AI answers explains which answers PageSoar reads.
