How to Implement FAQPage Schema for AEO
FAQPage schema is one of the highest-impact structured data types for AEO. When implemented correctly, it gives AI answer engines a machine-readable list of questions and answers that they can directly extract and surface in responses.
## The JSON-LD structure
```json
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "FAQPage",
"mainEntity": [
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What is AEO?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the practice of structuring content so AI answer engines can cite it."
}
}
]
}
```
## Implementation tips
- Add one FAQPage schema block per page that contains FAQ content.
- Each question should match the visible heading text on the page.
- Answers should be concise: 1-3 sentences. AI engines prefer extractable, direct answers.
- Validate with Google's Rich Results Test before deploying.
