About this tool

This tool scans your text line by line, whether pasted directly or fetched from a URL, and treats any line that ends in a question mark as a question, then attaches the lines under it as the answer, up until the next question. It understands plain FAQ lists, "Q:"/"A:" labels, numbered and bulleted lists, and basic HTML, and it strips that formatting automatically. Markdown headings ("## What is X?") are treated as section structure rather than questions by default, since most real headings are document labels, not literal FAQ entries. If your FAQ genuinely uses one heading per question, a toggle appears to include them. Same-line pairs like "Q? A." on a single line are not supported: put the question and its answer on separate lines for reliable detection.

As of August 2026, Google no longer shows FAQ rich results (the expandable dropdown snippet) in Search for any site, a change it made permanent on May 7, 2026. The FAQPage schema type itself is still fully valid, and Google has said there's no need to remove existing markup, it simply no longer triggers that particular visual result. What the schema still does well is give search engines and AI systems, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews, an unambiguous, pre-structured question-answer pairing to cite from, instead of one they have to infer from surrounding prose. Writing tight, well-paired Q&A content is also good practice for AI-answer visibility on its own, independent of the schema.

Before publishing the generated code, keep three things in mind: the same questions and answers should also be visible as real text on your page, not just present in the schema; avoid pasting the identical FAQ block onto many pages, since duplicated schema across a site can read as a manipulation signal; and a focused set of genuinely useful questions works better than padding the count; most guidance points to roughly 3 to 10 well-chosen questions per page.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ schema, formally called FAQPage structured data, is a standardized way (defined by schema.org) to mark up questions and answers on a page so that search engines and AI systems can understand the exact question-answer pairing, instead of guessing from surrounding text.
No. Correct as of August 2026: Google fully retired the FAQ rich result feature from Google Search on May 7, 2026, and no longer shows the expandable FAQ dropdown for any site, including the well-known, authoritative sites it had been limited to since 2023. Google also removed the FAQ rich-result documentation in June 2026 and dropped Search Console reporting for it in August 2026. The FAQPage schema type is still fully valid, and Google has said sites don't need to remove existing markup, it just no longer produces that visual snippet. The real remaining value is elsewhere: a clean, unambiguous question-answer pairing that AI search engines and other platforms can still use.
AI answer engines and chat-based search tools work by extracting and citing clear, well-structured information. FAQPage schema gives them exactly that: your questions and answers, explicitly paired, without needing to interpret surrounding page layout or prose. Structured FAQ content is consistently among the formats AI engines cite most often, though the schema alone isn't the whole story: the visible question-and-answer text on your page matters just as much, since that's what these systems actually read and quote.
Paste the copied script block anywhere in your page's HTML, most commonly inside the head section or near the end of the body. If your site is built with a CMS or framework, look for a custom code or structured data field instead of editing HTML directly.
If you paste text directly, no: it's parsed and turned into schema entirely in your browser, and nothing is sent to a server or saved. If you use the "From a URL" option instead, the page is fetched server-side so its text can be extracted, the same way any of this site's other URL-based tools work, but that page's text is never stored, it's only used to generate the result shown to you.
They need to be visible. Google's structured data guidelines are explicit that every question and answer marked up in FAQPage schema must also appear as real, readable content on the page, matching what's in the schema. Adding schema for text that isn't actually shown to visitors is treated as a form of structured-data spam and can affect eligibility for other rich results too, not just FAQ. Copy the generated code onto a page that already displays the same questions and answers as visible text.
There's no strict rule, but most current guidance converges on roughly 3 to 10 well-chosen questions per page rather than a long list. A short, genuinely useful set tends to perform better than padding the count with low-value or repetitive questions, both for readability and because search engines and AI systems can treat an unusually long or generic FAQ block as lower quality. Use the remove button on any detected question here to trim down to the ones that actually add value.
You can, but only if the questions are genuinely relevant and specific to each page. Copy-pasting an identical FAQ block across many pages of a site is a recognized red flag: it adds no unique value per page and can be read as an attempt to manipulate rankings rather than to inform users. If several pages share the same underlying questions, it's usually better to keep one well-developed FAQ section in one place rather than duplicating it everywhere.
The most common reason is that the line doesn't end in a question mark once formatting is stripped, since that's the signal this tool uses to recognize a question. A question and its answer written on the same line ("Is this free? Yes.") also isn't detected, put them on separate lines instead. If your question is written as a markdown heading ("## Is this free?"), it's treated as a section label by default rather than a question, a toggle appears to include heading-shaped questions when the pasted text contains one. Reviewing the detected list before copying lets you catch and fix any of these before generating the final code.
