      Just disable the option ‘Collapsed’ in the ‘Content Toggle’ block. And it will show both questions and answers.

    Actually, I am working on my website very hard to get sharp results, but so far no improvement, but I have learned a lot from this page, and hope it will help us to grow.

    I am working for my client to improve in SERP results and Schema Markup is definitely gonna help me. I would like to ask one thing that these schema markups will help with Open Graph results as well. I Have Just Setup “All In One Schema Rich Snippets” Plugin on my website. But I have a doubt on how to make sure Google is picking up the correct aggregated reviews as in schema markup the reviews are hard coded.

    My quick questions are; how to make sure that the reviews are true for local business? How much time does it take to show up rich snippets for my search results? Anyways, thanks for sharing schema Markup will definitely help my business.

      I’m not sure how to make sure reviews are true for local businesses. And it’s totally up to Google when they will show the rich snippets.

    I have added faq by using Yoast, and the block is appearing on the blog page too, weather I have only want it to show only in SERP (as it meant to be). Any Help ??

      As per as I know, it’s not possible to hide the block. All I can suggest you to use our plugin Ultimate Blocks. You can hide your answer on Content Toggle.

    Hello Ultimate Block Team,
    I got this error = Duplicate field “FAQPage”
    on this page https://technicaljayendra.com/smart-defrag-review.html and all other pages where I use ultimately block faq schema what should I do Now?

    1. Istiak Rayhan Avatar
      Istiak Rayhan

      Hi Jayendra,

      It seems you’ve used separate content toggle block for each faq.

      It’s recommended to use all FAQs in a single content toggle block.

      You can easily do that by click on the plus (+) sign under each accordion. (Please see the attached screenshot).

      I hope it will solve the problem.

      Please feel free to reach out if you face any further issues.

        I noticed when using the ultimate block on my blog post, when I would click the (+) button under each accordion, it would create a new block and not keep all the FAQ within a single content block.

        Any help with that?

          I hope you’ve already got the answer from our Facebook group.

    Great post! Make sure you’re using JSON for your schema markup as Google tends to favor it. I used it on https://www.octivdigital.com/seo/sacramento-seo/ and it was indexed in results overnight.

    I’m so annoyed.

    I’m working on adding FAQ Schema to my site here: https://www.adinfusion.com/philadelphia-seo/ I have added the faq within the body ( i took them out of an accordion widget because i thought maybe that was stopping it from working somehow…

    The markup was generated from the same tool you use in this post. I validated it with Google’s structured data testing tool…which shows it as FAQPage and 0 errors.

    But when I try and validate it on Search Console the card for FAQ does not appear… WTFFFF

      I’ve used the ‘Ultimate Blocks’ plugin on the post. I’ve just checked your page hasn’t found any accordion block.

      However, even if the Google’s Structured Data doesn’t show any error, it’s up to Google whether they will be showing the FAQs in Google SERPs or not.
