FAQ schema

FAQPage markup declares a page's question-and-answer pairs in machine-readable form, making the answer text easy for systems to extract.

Its SERP rich-result eligibility has narrowed over time, but the underlying pattern — an explicit question followed by a self-contained answer — remains one of the most citable content structures for AI answers.

Write the answer so it stands alone when quoted out of context, because that is exactly how it will be used.
