HELP!! Schema FAQ doesn't show in SERP

Hi There,

I have a couple of articles ranking in the first page of Google. A couple of weeks ago i installed "Schema Pro", added the questions/answers inside the content and in the plugin's parameters.

However, Google doesn't show my questions in the search results, as opposed to the competition who can.

I inspected inside my page code and the schema code is there with the questions and answers. I have the same problems with multiple articles.

Does anybody know why this isn't working?

Any help would be appreciated.


Thank you

is it on homepage or an internal page? homepages showed them for few weeks and then google rolled it back and now only internal pages show them

is what you have placed in FAQ schema, exactly as what users see? word for word?

have you submitted your page to google search console for reindexing? my faq schema showed up with few hours. every niche is different. also, some where I read that for the top 10 results, google only shows faq schema for 3 sites. does your niche, have more than 3 sites in top 10 that are using faq schema?

Thank you for your response mate.

It's an internal page, they are many internal pages with the FAQ schema.

I copy/pasted the same questions and answers to the FAQ schema, i made sure of that.

One of my competitors has an article on the 7th position and their FAQ schema is showing, my article is ranking for the same keyword they do.

It's strange that your schema showed up in a matter of hours, may i ask which plugin you're using?

Side note: Just to confirm, google removed schema faq from homepages?

Did you check in webmasters for any errors, also google automatically shows them nothing you can do expect place it and try your luck

I checked again, no errors, when i try to reindex the posts, i get the FAQ marked as valid by Search Console.

Do you think that it could be the plugin or is there something else to investigate that i'm not aware of?

I use schema pro

it actually showed up less than 30 min after I did google reindexing

is your questions and answers come across as a sales pitch or are they really FAQ. if it is sales pitch, it will not show up.

try do to a test on another page of yours that hardly has any competition. see if it shows up.

heck, create an internal page with a title: "my Canadian camel, named peanut wigglebutt, ate my homework when I was on neptune" and put few sentences, index it and search for that term, if the page shows up, then add FAQ schema. reindex it and see what happens. this was how I made sure that I was not making mistakes and was following the right process

Anything popping up like this in your search console?

@fb3003 Thanks, i'll try that and let you know of the result !

@jjhnt Nicely thought, i checked and i'm getting the same result as yours, i can see "FAQ rich snipet"
