FAQ rich snippet result in Google Search

An FAQ (FAQPage, Question, Answer) page features a list of questions and answers related to a specific topic. When properly marked up with structured data, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) pages may be eligible to appear as rich results in Google Search and as an Action on Google Assistant, helping your site connect with the right audience more effectively.

On the FAQ Schema Configuration page, you will find:

  • FAQ Title: This field is intended solely for the AC Rich Snippets FAQ Admin page to help you identify FAQ lists. It will not be visible to visitors or sent to Google.

  • Assign To: This feature in the AC Rich Snippets FAQ Editor allows you to assign the same questions and answers to multiple items, such as products, collections, and articles with similar contexts. Instead of repeatedly adding the same questions and answers for similar products, you can easily assign them using the Assign To field, saving time and ensuring consistency.

  • FAQs: This section allows you to add questions and answers for your products, collections, articles, and pages. While you can add as many as you like, we recommend a maximum of 10 questions to maximize the effectiveness of the FAQs.

  • AI-Generated FAQs: This feature is available exclusively in the AI Pro Plan. With the AI-Generated FAQ feature, you can use OpenAI to automatically generate relevant FAQ questions and answers in one-click, saving time and enhancing the quality of your content.

Managing FAQs

With AC Rich Snippets, managing FAQs is just as simple as creating them. By clicking the Configure link for the FAQ schema in the schema list, you’ll be directed to the FAQ Schema Management page.

On the FAQ Schema Management page, you’ll find a list of existing FAQs, if any have been created. Each FAQ entry includes helpful information such as the title, assigned products, collections, and articles, the number of questions, and the structured data JSON snippet.

  • View JSON: Click the eye icon to view the generated FAQ structured data. In the modal, you can easily copy the snippet by clicking the Copy button and paste it into the Google Rich Snippets Test tool to verify the generated data.

  • Edit: You can edit the FAQ details by clicking the pencil icon

  • Delete: You can delete the FAQs by clicking the bin icon

If the same products are used in multiple FAQs, the app will remove only the selected FAQ's questions from that product's snippet. The other FAQs will remain unaffected.
