An FAQ page is a page that contains a list of questions and their respective answers with regard to a particular topic. When such pages are properly marked up, they may be eligible to appear as a “rich result” in Search.

Here’s an example of what an FAQ rich snippet may look like:

Add An FAQ Using the WordPress Block Editor

Adding an FAQ Block using the WordPress Gutenberg Block editor couldn’t be easier.

While writing a post or editing a page, simply click the plus icon that is present on the right of the content area to add a block.

Clicking this will allow you to select from a list of available blocks that will depend on the plugins installed on your site. If you’ve installed Rank Math, you’ll be able to choose the FAQ Block.

Now that you’ve inserted the block, this is what you’ll see:

As expected, initially and most importantly you’ll be able to easily insert the question text and the answer content to that question respectively as well as an image.

Add FAQ Schema in WordPress using Yoast SEO

Open WordPress’ new block editor

Make a page in WordPress, add a title and an introductory paragraph. Now add the FAQ structured data content block. You can find the Yoast SEO structured data content blocks inside the Add Block modal. Scroll all the way down to find them or type ‘FAQ’ or ‘structured data’ in the search bar, which I’ve highlighted in the screenshot below.

Add questions and answers

After you’ve added the FAQ block, you can start to add questions and answers to it. Keep in mind that these questions live inside the FAQ block. It’s advisable to keep the content related to each other so you can keep the page clean and focused. So no throwing in random questions.

Keep filling, check and publish

After adding the first question and answering it well, keep adding the rest of your questions and answers until you’ve filled your FAQ page.
Once you are done, you’ll have a well-structured FAQ page with valid structured data.

In the WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance ➡ Theme File Editor and copy the following code into the child theme’s functions.php file and update it.

/** 
* FAQ Schema in WordPress by WPCookie
* https://redpishi.com/wordpress-tutorials/faq-schema-in-wordpress/
*/
add_filter( 'wp_footer', function ( ) {  ?>
<script>
let question = []
document.querySelectorAll(".question").forEach( e => question.push(e.innerText) )
let answer = []
document.querySelectorAll(".answer").forEach( e => answer.push(e.innerText) )
let faqInside = []
if ( question.length > 0 ) {
for (let i = 0; i < question.length; i++) {
faqInside.push(`{"@type":"Question","name":"${question[i]}","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"${answer[i]}"}}`)
}
let faq = String(faqInside)
let faqFinal = `{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[${faq}]}`
var scriptschemafaq = document.createElement("script");
scriptschemafaq.type = "application/ld+json";
scriptschemafaq.innerHTML = faqFinal;
document.querySelector('footer').appendChild(scriptschemafaq);	
}
</script>
<?php });

Write your questions and answers using paragraph blocks

Add two pairs of paragraphs to the page for the number of questions and answers; write the question in the first paragraph and the answer in the second one. Then assign the “question” class to the question paragraph and the “answer” class to the answer paragraph.

Once you are done, you’ll have a well-structured FAQ page with valid structured data.
