FAQ Schema question

    Hi,

    I use a template on my blog so all the posts have a similar layout and answer the same questions, so when I write about a destination it always has price, opening hours, etc as headings so users can jump to the answer using the table of contents.

    If I converted these to FAQ schema, would my current layout display correctly or would I need to switch to the FAQ schema? (both examples below)

    Current layout:

    Opening Hours (H3)
    “Destination name” is open daily from 09:00-17:00
    Exceptions: Closed Christmas

    FAQ schema layout:

    “Destination name” Opening Hours” (H3)
    09:00-17:00
    Exceptions: Closed Christmas

    Or would it be better to keep my current layout, add some faq schema answering the questions again and hide them with the eye icon? (examples below)

    Opening Hours (H3)
    “Destination name” is open daily from 09:00-17:00
    Exceptions: Closed Christmas

    Hidden FAQ schema layout:

    “Destination name” Opening Hours” (H3)
    09:00-17:00
    Exceptions: Closed Christmas

    Hello,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us.

    From the data you have provided, I would not recommend using FAQ schema. It doesn’t appear to be in question/answer format.

    Other than that, there are somethings you should keep note from Google FAQ guidelines: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/faqpage#guidelines
    > If you have FAQ content that is repetitive on your site (meaning, the same question and answer appear on multiple pages on your site), you should mark up only one instance of that FAQ for your entire site

    > It is also not recommended to create FAQ schema but hide it in the front end. It will cause errors. Google says: All FAQ content must be visible to the user on the source page.

    Here is an article you can refer further on using FAQ schema with Rank math: https://rankmath.com/blog/faq-schema/

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
