Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math.
Google recommends that you use the Rich Results Test to see what Google-rich results can be generated for your page.
I checked the page source, the FAQ Schema is correctly added in the page source and is also detected in the Rich Snippet Tool.
I hope this helps.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch in case you need any other assistance.
Actually, the issue is not resolved.
I just noticed that when you delete the “Article” Schema”
FAQ Page stats showing in https://validator.schema.org/ and also in Google Rich Results Test.
But when you add article schema (which is added by default in every article by Rank Math), FAQ schema merges with it and stops showing separately. Please check the links I provided for confirmation.
Open the “article schema” in https://validator.schema.org/ and you can see the FAQ merged with it.
And https://validator.schema.org/ is also recommended by Google and It’s on their official website.

Hello,
The Schema Validator and Rich Results testing tool are both new tools and they support a limited number of schemas and evaluate the schemas differently.
I’ve checked the schema on your page and it is properly defined as also shown on the Rich Results testing tool.
The FAQ schema is working properly and there’s nothing to be worried about.
However, upon testing the pages, I found that on the second page (/michael-cooke-kendrick), there are errors in the review schema. This schema is not added by Rank Math and it is implemented in Microdata format. You can have a look at the screenshot in the sensitive data section of this ticket.
You can correct the issue to make that schema valid.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
I understand that both tools validate schema differently but please keep in mind that FAQ is a very basic schema and both tools understand it very well.
I have used other FAQ schema generators available on WordPress and almost all of them worked pretty well. When you apply FAQ schema with any other tool, it shows on both the testing tools.
I’m not saying rank math is bad but It generates an incomplete FAQ schema that some tools are unable to verify. It’s definitely something the Rank Math development team should look into.
Otherwise I love using Rank Math and I recommend it to everyone
Hello,
The Schema Validator is showing the FAQ Schema inside the Article Schema because we nest FAQ Schema inside an Article or Product or any CreativeWork Schema. With this nesting, you can tell search engines that the FAQ is about the primary topic you discussed in the article or about the product you reviewed on the page and not about your own website/organization in general.
You can read more about it here: https://rankmath.com/kb/faq-schema-block/#nesting-the-faq-schema
Hope this clarifies your doubts. Let us know if you need any other assistance.
Thanks.
Thank you for the clarification.
