  • Enter your question in the next box (Frage).
  • Enter your answer in the second box (Antwort).
  • Click + Add One to add another Question & Answer.
  • I personally add between 4 – 8.
  • Click on OK button when you are done.
  • You will see a code like the one below.

Adding FAQS (For Gutenberg Block Editor Users)

• I usually add around 4-8 questions.
• When you are done adding questions, click on any area out of your FAQS template and publish.

Hope that was easy enough? Now, let’s move to the next step.

3. Clear Your Cache

If you are using any caching plugin like WP optimize, WP rocket, W3 Total cache, Autoptimize, Wp Fastest Cache, make sure you clear your cache.

Moving on to the next step.

4. Test Your Page For Any Errors

Usually, you won’t have any issues if you have used the plugin correctly.

But, I’m not going to advise you to skip this step.

• So, head over to Google rich result testing tool website.
• Paste your URL in the box, click Test URL. You should see the result like the one below.

• You can click on Preview Results to see what your rich snippet will look on Google SERP.

5. Request Page Index In Search Console

• Go to your Google Search Console page.
• Paste the URL of the post/page you added the FAQS in the URL inspection tool.

• Before you request for indexing, click on “TEST LIVE URL” at the top right corner of the Inspection result page. 

• Now, click on  Request Index

6. Check For FAQ Errors In Search Console

Now, when you check your Search Console, you should see the FAQ under the Enhancement tabs. Click on it.

If there’s no issue, you have added the code correctly.

Finally.

What To Do If FAQs Rich Snippet Is Not Showing In Google SERP

I have seen so many complains like – “I requested index but nothing is changing”.

It happened to me before, and I have a few tips for you.

Most people will tell you that adding a FAQ schema code to your WordPress website does not automatically guarantee that it will show on Google SERP.

The fact is it only qualifies your page/post for a FAQ rich snippet. It is up to Google to decide whether to show it or not.

You know what? That is so true.

But wait! Before you leave it all to Google, here are some of the things I did and I’m sure doing the same can help you.

• Make sure you have correctly followed Google’s guidelines on FAQ schema markup.

• Test Live URL Before Submitting For Index

Usually, when I test the live URL in the Google search console (URL Inspection tool), Google discovers and indexes the FAQ Page faster.

• Try To Tweak Your SEO Title, Resubmit For Index

After testing my live URL and submitting for index many times, the FAQ rich snippet was still not showing.

So, I made a little edit to my SEO title and submitted for index.

Few hours later, the post was indexed, the new SEO title was showing on Google SERP and my FAQ rich snippet was finally showing.

Whether it was a coincidence or the SEO title helped, I’m not sure.

All I know is that I had resubmitted for index like 10 times before then and nothing changed.
