Google has officially removed FAQ rich results from Search.
For years, FAQ schema became a default SEO recommendation because it helped listings take up more space and improve CTR. That chapter is now closed.
Worth noting though, for many websites, FAQ visibility had already reduced significantly after Google’s 2023 changes.
The takeaway? SEO keeps moving away from shortcuts and further towards fundamentals:
• technical foundations
• useful content
• clear website structure
• genuine authority

Save this for your SEO team. Or share it with someone still working from an outdated SEO playbook.
If organic growth feels harder despite “doing SEO”, there’s usually a deeper issue worth fixing.
