Once you have watched the video below I guarantee you stop everything you are doing to implement it immediately.
Because I am going to show you how to take advantage of FAQ Schema to-
Don’t believe me? Then watch this-
Because in less than 5 minutes I was able to serious increase search visibility by popping the FAQ results box for my target keyword.
That was repeated with multiple examples in the video above including popping a double listing result with attached FAQ box.
And of course…
…you saw how I had a little bit of fun with it as well-
Which I have now removed because that’s not how they should be used and no doubt there will be a future penalty for people that abuse it (you’ve been warned!).
I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU READ THESE GUIDELINES AND THIS POST FROM GOOGLE BEFORE INTEGRATING.
So let me take you behind the scenes of the full process end to end because I am sure you are excited to start experimenting!
Here we go…
What Will I Learn?
Adding FAQ Schema to your posts and pages is pretty straight forward.
It takes around 5 minutes to add them to each post/page but as you’ve seen, Google processes the results in near real time!
Before integrating FAQ Schema, you should pay close attention to-
You can also learn more about them at SearchEngineLand & SERoundTable.
In the video below, I am going to give you access to my FAQ snippet code generator AND the full process end to end including-
If you want to download the video to hand off to your team easily – just sponsor a dog here, forward me the email confirmation and I’ll send you the MP4 file.
I often find weird things with Google that I can’t replicate.
However this is different because it’s so solid, so robust, so repeatable – almost sequential. It’s like it was programmed to function like this.
But WHY would it be programmed it to function like this?
Because what better way to get everyone to give you the data you want, in the format you want it for every topic on the planet from qualified individuals?
All Google needed to do to win the $49 billion dollar voice market is increase the weight/visibility of FAQ snippet data in the algorithm…
Then all the SEO sheep like us run to feed them the data they want, in exchange for higher search visibility.
Let me put it like this. Can you say medic update?
Google has spent the last 20 years organizing the worlds data, it’s what they do better than anybody else. This is an advantage that competitors like Alexa and Siri don’t have.
And that’s why they are consistently proven to return the most accurate results-
So I can’t see why else this would work with such efficiency unless it is intended to.
There are multiple things happening in real time from the request of the crawl, the actual crawl, the processing of the data, updating the index and then pushing it into search results.
It’s highly unlikely that a bug could transverse all of those things in complete harmony.
But arguably it’s a win, win, win situation-
What do you think about it all?
Does FAQ Schema and rich snippets have your attention yet?
I highly recommend you go and integrate this on 5-6 pages on your site that are ranking on the first page of Google.
It will take you less than 30 minutes to implement and the results will speak for themselves. Especially if you integrate my SEO copywriting tips as well!
Please come back to this post and let me know what results you see
I am excited to hear from you!
Note: If you implement Shopify schema markup/structured data, don’t forget to test their quality with a schema tester.

Great news Ronak – hope this continues.
Hellow’So can I ad FAQpages in all my posts? I hope Google will not say anything right?
Make sure you read this – https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/faqpage and this https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2019/05/new-in-structured-data-faq-and-how-to.html before you start implementing
Just about to implement this on my website. If successful, I will write a blog post about it and link the source to you.

I think this will work. I am going to try this for sure. Thanks.
Great news
Where can I get the best FAQ questions? Are you can suggest me pls…
Write unique ones
I use Rankmath instead of Yoast
Which plugin one do you use instead?
i have questions:how many time i use Faq’s Code in my website?how can i get different FAQ’s for different Pages?Do google allow us to put FAQ’s code on multiple pages?is it safe to put same FAQ’s code in different Pages/posts?
I’d probably pick your best 5-6 pages and integrate it into those
Nice article….thanks for sharing this article
Hope you find it helpful with your FAQs
Hey Matthew, Woah this works like magic! I got your email this morning and was a bit sceptical at first, then after reading comments from others decided to give it a try.I was so blown away. Within minutes after implementing the steps on one of my test posts that was ranking on page 6. I noticed the post has jumped to page 4. Thanks, man for sharing, now I have a shining new trick on my SEO toolkit.Sam Steve
Hey Sam, it’s an awesome little hack! Glad it’s working for you too 🙂
Absolutely amazing Matthew. Can you please tell me how many questions can I use for one post?
I would recommend 3-6
Come on, dude, you are by far my first resource, and school when I want to learn more!Thank for all you provide to the SEO community bro,Cheers! Amazing article, BTW!
Thanks Jesus, I have even more SEO articles on their way 🙂
Very interesting and great post. Thanks Matthew for your help
No worries, happy to help.
That worked like a charm in under ten minutes start to finish & i watched the video twice!Much appreciated Matt
Hey Charlie, it’s a great little hack 🙂
Yup!
How to do you use that method for multiple posts? Just post the code on top of each other?
Excellent SEO Tool! Thank you so much for sharing, Matthew. Works in real-time on all my sites. You are really SEO Guru. Good luck in your business 🙂
No problem! I didn’t invent this but glad it’s helping you
Hey Matthew,Great job! It is working. It took not half an hour, just a few minutes! Though I’ve read Neil’s post, thank goes to you because I’ve learned it from you first.
How did you create the code?
Also – I have over 50 posts on my site – are you recommending that I do this for every post?
No you should only do it where it will add to your user experience.You certainly shouldn’t be abusing the blind trust of Google.
Nice hack, 2 quick questions I already have implemented a number of schema codes on certain pages, will the FAQ schema not come up if the review schema and the product schema or the playlist schema already exists?Also if there are not enough questions on Google about a certain topic but have an FAQ already on your page that may answer the user’s queries, is it a good idea to just make up your own questions and answer them?Thanks from Dan – The Corporatethief Beats
You should experiment and see what works, just don’t compromise the user experience.
This is fantastic! Going to try it out. Thank you for your generosity and sharing this!
Let me know how you get on with it
I am a local Massage Therapist.This looks interesting but when I search for geo-targeted results I do not receive the “people also ask” box.Is there a way to solve this?
I mean – you could add it and see what happens”Where to find a massage therapist in ….”Then answer it
Hasn’t worked for me Matt.Does your URL need to be on the 1st page? I’m on page 2.ThanksMartin
Yes it helps if your URL is on the first page and there is a “People Also Ask” box.However I have found success moving things from the second page to the first page by adding the FAQ content to the page itself and the snippet code.
So, this code had to be added for every FAQ section we want to get?? Wont this increase the loading time of every posts and pages on the site??
Not really
The video is not being played. Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here. is the error being shown.Kindly check it.
Refresh
Great ideas! We try to do this using rich subtopics for long tail keywords.
Did you find any results?
Nice. Looks ripe for a simple FAQ Plugin with this baked in. Doing it manually for multiple sites with a lot of listing would be massively time consuming.
It does indeed!
This was already a known thing by plenty of SEOs, myself included. Clearly now you have blabbed it to the world Google will fix it in their next update.Numpty!
This has been out in the wild for a long time, published all over places like SearchEngineJournal and Neil Patel covered it this week as well.I don’t believe Google will patch it because it’s allow them to win a $38 billion market.It is likely thought they will penalise people that abuse it.
That’s f***ing amazing Matt! SEO just got into the future!
Enjoy!
Amazing post.Thanks for sharing
No problem
I have checked the search results and indeed your articles with FAQ rich snippets appear in the SERP. However, Google does not offer a way in each question/answer to click through to your website. I think this will reduce your CTR because Google offers a quick way for visitors to find what they need without clicking through to the website. What do you think about that?Thanks
I think you should do 2 things-1) Spend 3-4 hours experimenting them with yourself (there’s more to learn but don’t tell if you find it)2) Keep copywriting in mind
I followed it to the T but it didn’t work for me.Not sure what went wrong.
Is there a “people also ask” box on your target keywords search results
Hey Matthew,You’re good :)Tell me, this can be done with Yoast plugin on their Shema feature?Thanks
I don’t use yoast
My competitor using this and get more click even not in rank 1, thanks for information let me try this technique
No problem Aditya!
Thanks Matthew for the guide and tool.I will use it to dominate more on pages that I already rank for.What a handy tool.
Please let me know how you get on!
Neil, has also posted on this some days ago. I think this will bring bing change in SEO.
It’s nothing new, it’s been around for around a year but what is new is how effective it has become.
Absolutely fantastic…wouldn’t go about abusing it though! Thanks Matt!
No it should only be used to add value to the user experience.
Yeah afcose Right Know
Excellent and superb SEO Blog Matthew. And I am working on this technique my hero.
Let me know how you get on!
Hi again,I realised I had to remove the { brackets for it to work properly and save when updating the file in theme editor.A couple of issues though:1) I have a white bar across my whole website taht says – “function mw_faqhook_page_1564562392580() { if(is_page (“2676”)){ ?>”2) So i decided to remove the entire html code from my theme editor, but unable to update the file with this errorSomething went wrong. Your change may not have been saved. Please try again. There is also a chance that you may need to manually fix and upload the file over http://FTP.Not sure what to do?Thanks
Remove the code and install the header and footers plugin, then paste the script out into that (dont use the Wordpress option)
hi mat, arent you indexing that post twice since it says the url is already on google and also please how do we show to goolge when we update a page/post
What do you mean?You can just search the URL in Google Search Console the request indexing
I think I understand your question better, What he actually did was to notify Google about the recent changes made in the post so that the expected result will come up on SERP, it doesn’t have any side effect indexing it twice
wafftttttt la monda!!!!
Hahaha yeah right!
