About this capability

Use when adding FAQ sections to landing pages or blog posts, generating FAQPage JSON-LD from existing Q&A content, or validating that structured data on pages with FAQ sections is syntactically and semantically correct.

The instructions your AI receives, as published by thedaviddias/front-end-checklist in skills/faq/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Valid FAQPage structured data can generate rich results in Google Search, displaying expandable question-and-answer pairs directly in the SERP. This increases click-through rate and SERP real estate without requiring a higher ranking position.

Quick Reference

  • Add FAQPage JSON-LD with mainEntity question/answer pairs to pages that contain FAQ sections
  • Each Question must include acceptedAnswer with an Answer type containing the text property
  • Only use FAQPage schema when the page actually contains FAQ-style question-and-answer content visible to users

Check

Check pages that contain FAQ or Q&A sections. For each: (1) Is there a <script type="application/ld+json"> block with "@type": "FAQPage"? (2) Does it include a mainEntity array of Question objects? (3) Does each Question have a name (the question text) and an acceptedAnswer with "@type": "Answer" and a text property? (4) Does the schema content match what is visible on the page?

Fix

  1. Identify pages with FAQ-style content (a section of questions and answers visible to users).
  2. Add a JSON-LD script to the page <head> or <body>:
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "FAQPage",
  "mainEntity": [
    {
      "@type": "Question",
      "name": "How do I reset my password?",
      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Click 'Forgot password' on the login page and enter your email address. You will receive a reset link within 5 minutes."
      }
    }
  ]
}
  1. Validate the markup using Google's Rich Results Test at https://search.google.com/test/rich-results.
  2. Ensure every question in the schema has a corresponding visible answer on the page.

Explain

FAQPage structured data enables Google to display expandable Q&A pairs directly in search results as a rich result. This increases the page's visible footprint in the SERP and can improve click-through rate. Invalid or mismatched schema (questions in markup not visible on page) will cause Google to ignore it and may trigger a manual action.

Code Review

Parse all <script type="application/ld+json"> blocks. Find any with "@type": "FAQPage". Validate that mainEntity is an array, each item has "@type": "Question", name is a non-empty string, and acceptedAnswer is an object with "@type": "Answer" and a non-empty text. Cross-reference each question in the schema against visible question elements on the page.
