FAQ and How-to schema unlock rich results that win SERP real estate and boost CTR. Here's the simplest, safe way to implement them.

When to Use Each

  • FAQPage: A page (or section) that answers multiple distinct questions on a topic.
  • HowTo: A step-by-step guide where completion requires ordered actions and (optionally) tools/materials.

Add Schema in Zyro (No Code)

  1. Open the target URL in Action Plan and review Content Entities to ensure topical alignment.
  2. Add an on-page FAQ or clear step list. Use the schema helper to generate JSON-LD for FAQPage or HowTo.
  3. Validate, publish, and submit for reindexing. Track CTR change in Performance Report → Organic Search.

Best Practices

  • Keep questions/steps visible on the page (no hidden content).
  • Avoid promotional answers; keep them factual and concise.
  • Update FAQs after product or policy changes to maintain accuracy.

Measure CTR lift and incremental clicks; if a query gains visibility, expand it into a full support article linked from the FAQ.

FAQs

Will FAQ always show?
No—Google decides. Keep FAQs helpful and visible for eligibility.
Combine FAQ and HowTo?
Yes, if both exist on the page and markup accurately reflects them.

Next: Use Zyro Action Plan → generate JSON-LD → validate → request indexing.
