FAQ Schema Validator
FAQPage schema makes your FAQ content eligible for Google rich results — those expandable Q&A blocks at the top of search. Most implementations have subtle errors that disqualify them. Our validator parses your JSON-LD, walks every Question node, and tells you exactly which fields are wrong. 100% browser-based.
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.

Yes, but they should be combined into a single FAQPage entity with multiple mainEntity entries, not multiple top-level FAQPage nodes. Multiple top-level blocks is a frequent validator error.
The validator will tell you it found zero JSON-LD FAQPage blocks. To add it: wrap your existing FAQ content in a <script type='application/ld+json'> block with @type: 'FAQPage' and an array of Question entities under mainEntity.
Yes — the audit runs entirely in your browser. The only network call is to /api/faq-schema-validator/check, which doesn't log URL contents or train any AI. Rate-limited to 30 checks/hour per IP.
