What is FAQ Schema and how does it help AI citations?

FAQ Schema is JSON-LD markup for FAQ pages. It boosts AI citations 2.7x mainly via visible Q&A content that LLMs easily extract – schema just echoes it.

Does FAQ Schema improve SEO for ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Not directly – those LLMs treat it as plain text. But Bing and Google AI Overviews parse it structurally. Plus, visible FAQs are gold for all.

How do I add FAQ Schema to my site?

Generate 4-5 data-backed Q&As per page. Output visible accordion + matching JSON-LD. Auto-update from live data where possible. Test with fake schema experiments.
