FAQPage schema for AI citations

The short answer

FAQPage schema is JSON-LD that wraps your questions and answers in a machine-readable structure. It makes each answer cleanly extractable, which measurably increases the chance AI engines cite your page when answering that question.

Why does FAQPage schema help AEO?

AI engines extract a claim and attribute it to a source. When your answer is wrapped in FAQPage JSON-LD, the question and the exact answer are unambiguous, so the engine can lift and cite it with confidence.

What does the markup look like?

It's a JSON-LD script in your page head, with a mainEntity array of Question objects, each containing an acceptedAnswer. Use real questions buyers ask and keep answers self-contained. RankEcho's Fix Engine generates this block for you, tuned to the specific prompt you're missing.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use JSON-LD or microdata?

JSON-LD. Every major engine prefers it because it's cleanly separated from your HTML and easy to parse.

Can FAQPage schema be used on any page?

Use it where the page genuinely answers questions. Don't fabricate Q&As to game it — engines discount over-optimization.
