Does FAQ schema still work on Google?

Open the generator, add the FAQ page entity and read the eligibility notice in the panel: it carries the change date and the source. The short answer is that Google stopped showing the result, but the vocabulary is still valid.

Timeline and what to do with FAQPage

The Google documentation changelog has two entries on the subject. On 2026-05-08 the deprecation notice for the FAQ rich result went in, stating that the feature no longer appears in Search from 2026-05-07. On 2026-06-15 the documentation was removed, on the grounds that the result is no longer shown. It is not an isolated case: the HowTo result was removed on 2023-09-14 and the sitelinks search box on 2024-11-29. The search gallery, updated on 2026-10-16, lists none of the three.
This does not make FAQPage invalid. It remains in the schema.org vocabulary, and any structured data reader can consume it. What changed is the expectation: the expandable question block under the result no longer exists, so it makes no sense to judge the markup by impressions of that format. If the JSON-LD is already on the site and passes the validators, there is no urgency to delete it. What matters for readers and for Search is still the visible question section on the page, written with complete answers.
The structure is the same as ever: a FAQPage whose mainEntity property is a list of Question items, each with a name (the question) and an acceptedAnswer of type Answer with a text field. The generator builds it from question and answer pairs, accepts basic HTML in the answer and warns, on every generation, that the format earns no Google feature. For anyone who prefers to swap the markup for something documented, the Article and Organization types remain in the gallery.

Full tool FAQ

Does Google still show the FAQ rich result?

No. Google recorded on 2026-05-08 that the FAQ rich result stopped appearing from 2026-05-07 and removed the documentation on 2026-06-15. FAQPage remains valid schema.org and other consumers may use it, but do not count on it to win space in Search. HowTo went the same way: its result was removed on 2023-09-14.

Frequently asked questions

Should I delete FAQPage from my site?

It is not mandatory. The markup remains valid and is not a penalty. If maintaining it costs time, it is reasonable to stop updating it and keep the visible question section, which is what helps the reader.

Does the Rich Results Test still recognize FAQ?

We did not check how the test behaves. Use the schema.org validator to check syntax and the Google search gallery to see what still earns a feature.

Which types replace FAQ in the gallery?

None replaces the format. The gallery has Q&A and Education Q&A for specific question and answer cases, but they have their own requirements that this tool does not generate.
