FAQ Schema Isn't Dead — Just the Rich Result!

FAQ Schema Isn't Dead — Just the Rich Result!

Short summary

Google removed FAQ rich results from search in May 2026, but the FAQPage schema type remains valid and is still parsed by Bing, Perplexity, ChatGPT, and RAG pipelines. Audit each page with a three-question decision tree: Is the FAQ visible? Are the Q&As genuine, not templated? Is it repeated across filler pages? Keep schema where answers are real and user-facing; remove where added only for the SERP feature.

  • Use a three-question decision tree to audit: Is FAQ visible on page? Are Q&As genuine (not templated)? Is it repeated across similar pages?
  • Keep schema on genuine user-facing Q&A; remove where added solely for the now-defunct Google rich result feature
