FAQ Schema structured data

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

This is not yet available in the plugin but it is on the to do list for the upcoming updates.

At the moment, I can recommend that you use the following online tool to generate the necessary schema and then add it to the header file of your site: https://saijogeorge.com/json-ld-schema-generator/faq/?utm_campaign=Rank+Math

You can use the headers and footers plugin for this.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hi Pete,

That page provides all the code you need for adding FAQ schema to your pages.

With Rank Math, you can expect it very soon but I do not have an ETA I can share. Sorry.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the follow up.

You need to add the actual questions and answer on your FAQ page on the online generator described above and then inject the code to header of the FAQ page.

Since the header and footers plugin only gives the option of all pages or the homepage here is a workaround that you can use by using the following filter on your theme’s functions.php file:

/* A snippet to inject FAQ schema on FAQ page */
add_action('wp_head', 'my_faq_schema');
function my_faq_schema(){
if(is_page('faq_page_id')):
?>
<script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Question one","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Answer one"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Question Two","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Answer Two"}}]}</script><!--FAQPage Code Generated by https://saijogeorge.com/json-ld-schema-generator/faq/-->
<?php
endif;
};

I hope this info helps. Thank you.

Hi Pete,

You have to put that code in your theme’s functions.php file

Replace faq_page_id with the FAQ page’s ID. You can find the page’s ID using this tutorial:

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

Hi Pete,

If you are just using this to generate FAQ code:
https://saijogeorge.com/json-ld-schema-generator/faq/?utm_campaign=Rank+Math

Then, you have to paste the resulting code inside your post/page as HTML code.

You do not need to add anything to your functions.php file.

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

Hi Pete,

Yes, of course, it would.

That code only adds the Schema of the FAQs so the bots can see the structured data. You have to add the actual FAQs for visitors separately in a regular text format.

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

Hi Pete,

1. It is not necessary but we recommend doing that so that the users and the bots see the same thing.

2. Yes, you should only use text. You can use HTML as well but using shortcodes in the FAQ is a no-no.

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