Is it still important? I still implement it just in case, but I heard that google stops favouring it now.

i would not use the faq schema for ranking purposes anymore. it can certainly assist google to comprehend the page yet the FAQ rich result visibility has become very limited in comparison with before. i would use the schema for ranking but only if the FAQ is really usefful to the user.
 
i dont use FAQ schema as a major SEO strategy anymore. but i still use it where it genuinely fits the page, but focus more on strong content, search intent, and overall page quality.

FAQ schema is no longer the same for SEO purpose. If using it will make the FAQ page more beneficial for visitors, then I do utilize it but not at the top of my list.
 
I still use it, but honestly I wouldn’t expect it to do much for rankings by itself. I mostly see it as a way to make the page more complete. If it takes 5 minutes to add, I don’t really see a reason to skip it.
 
It depends on how you define it, but to me, most traditional SEO techniques are not primarily, meant for ranking anymore. I still use the basic SEO because it helps the search engine, understand the site and avoid any problems in the future.

Yeah, yeah I agree that a lot of old methods are no longer effective, but at least having proper structure, quality content and some SEO hygiene will help to keep things healthy.
 
Hmmmmmmm..... FAQ Schema still works for helping google understand your content, but it no longer provides faq rich results for most sites. So I'd still implement it when relevant, just not expecting a ranking boost in google.
 
Yeah, I still think it has some value, but I wouldn't depend on it like people used to. Google has clearly gotten better at ignoring or separating third-party content that's mainly there to take advantage of a site's authority.

FAQ schema is still a great practice, if it works for your site, but I doubt that it will be able to rank as before. In my personal experience, FAQ schema ranks due to the answer.

However, if you refer to a certain SEO practice, then I would keep it if it helps increase usability and clarity instead of boosting rankings. This is because Google keeps changing the way it evaluates signals, but helpful practices for a website never become useless.
 
For SEO, spend more time improving the page content and search intent instead of relying on FAQ schema.
 
Not much usefull in seo point of view yes but good / useful for audience interest to keep engage and clear about service and offer..

Faq schema is not the magic ranking button it used to be, but it's not useless either. The real win is creating helpful answers for users first. Schema just help google understand the content.
 
I still think it is worth implementing when the FAQ content is genuinely useful and matches the page i would not rely on it as a ranking tactic though it is more about helping search engines understand content clearly
