FAQPage — Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ structured data marking up question-and-answer pairs for AI engine extraction and People Also Ask eligibility.
Note: No display rich result (deprecated May 2023) — but valuable for AI citation
When to Use
Any page with FAQ content. Google deprecated FAQPage rich results in May 2023 for most sites, but the markup remains critical for AI-powered search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) that extract Q&A pairs from structured data.

"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "FAQPage",
"mainEntity": [
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What is Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is a Core Web Vital that measures how long the largest visible content element takes to load. A good LCP score is 2.5 seconds or less. Common LCP elements are hero images, large headings, and background images."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "How do I improve my LCP score?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "To improve LCP: (1) Optimize and compress your hero image. (2) Serve images in WebP or AVIF format. (3) Add fetchpriority='high' to the LCP image element. (4) Preload the LCP image with <link rel='preload'>. (5) Reduce server response time (TTFB) by using a CDN."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What is a good Core Web Vitals score?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Good Core Web Vitals thresholds are: LCP ≤ 2.5 seconds, CLS ≤ 0.1, and INP ≤ 200 milliseconds. Pages meeting all three thresholds earn the Page Experience signal benefit in Google Search ranking."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Do Core Web Vitals affect Google rankings?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Yes, Core Web Vitals are a confirmed Google ranking factor as part of the Page Experience signal. However, they function as a tiebreaker rather than a dominant ranking signal — content quality and relevance still matter more. Poor Core Web Vitals can prevent pages from ranking as well as they otherwise would."

Write answers as complete sentences, not just keywords. AI engines prefer self-contained answers that don't require reading the surrounding context to make sense.
