How to Create a Structured Data Powered FAQ Page with Elementor

A lot of sites these days have a special FAQ page for Frequently Asked Questions. You must have come across these pages on some products, membership, and service sites. This page aims to answer common questions users might have related to the product or service. These pages can help increase conversions, signups, and sales and lower refund or return requests.

The need for the FAQ page varies for every website. Some websites might not have a set of frequently asked questions and might not need a separate page for the same.

What is FAQ Page Schema?

FAQ Page schema is a data type defined by Schema.org and utilized by Google for rich search results. FAQ Page lists a definitive set of questions and answers on a website. Adding the “FAQPage” type to a webpage tells the search engines that the page contains Questions and Answers. Each question must display the full text along with an answer.

The structured data format helps search engines crawl the content in a better way and display rich search results. The structured data also helps with voice search results as it becomes easy for search engines to identify your content. So, a good FAQ Page on your website can help you get better search engine visibility and click-through rates.

Do you need an FAQ Page?

As mentioned earlier, not every website might need a Frequently Asked Questions Page. So, you need to check and think about the common questions your website visitors may have. You can also analyze the queries you receive via the contact page on your website. Based on these queries, you can design a page with a list of common questions and answer them with as much detail as possible.

E.g., a product website can have questions related to product features, usage, refunds, maintenance, upgrades, shipping, payments, etc. A photography website can have questions about different kinds of services, payment terms, deliverables, costs, packages, etc.

Will FAQ Page help with Search Engine Rankings?

Search engines prefer using structured data for search results. So, when a page on your website uses structured markup, it clearly defines the scope of the content. With the help of structured data, search engine bots can understand that a title on the page is a question and that the following paragraph is an answer to the question.

Now that voice search is taking over; the same structured data is used by search engines to return better results for voice search. Since the search engine understands the scope of content on the page, it’s easy for them to match the voice search query with the content on the page.

As you can see, using structured data with existing content can add great value to your website. Adding structured data might look a bit tricky, but we are here to help you with it. So, let’s see how you can implement FAQ schema to your Elementor website.
