Do FAQ Schemas still work for SEO?

From my point of view, FAQs can still help Google understand the page, but we shouldn’t expect them to boost rankings.

Not for rich results anymore. Google removed FAQ rich results in 2026, so I’d only keep the schema if it helps structure the page, not for a ranking boost.

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

for AI Overviews and AI search citations, FAQ schema is actually more useful now than it was for traditional SEO. it gives AI systems a clean structured format to extract answers from. a direct question with a direct answer in schema is exactly what gets pulled into AI generated responses.

so the value shifted rather than disappeared. less about ranking, more about being the source AI search pulls from. if AEO visibility matters to you, i would still implement it properly on pages where the FAQ content is genuinely useful.
