I’ve been experimenting with structured data for FAQ sections and noticed some gains in CTR.
Do you see better results using short answers, or long-form detailed responses?

For FAQ, avoid long answers. It should be to the point and short.

I’ve had good results with concise answers for quick visibility in search, then linking to a more detailed page for depth. Structured data definitely helps, but making sure each answer is genuinely useful keeps people clicking through.

I’ve noticed Google often truncates long FAQ answers anyway, which might hurt CTR. Short, clear answers seem to keep the snippet clean and clickable. I might try keeping it under 50–60 words and see if that bumps the results. Have you found an ideal length that works best for you?

That’s a smart approach — give Google the concise answer for the snippet, then hook readers into the full page for the deeper value. I’ve been thinking of testing a “teaser” style in FAQs, where the answer solves part of the query but naturally encourages a click for the full context. Have you seen any drop in rankings or CTR when you do that?
