Question 1

Does FAQ schema still show rich results?

Accepted Answer

For almost all sites, no. Google restricted FAQ rich results to authoritative government and health sites in 2023 and removed them broadly in 2026. FAQPage JSON-LD is still useful for AI answers and assistants, but it no longer earns the expandable Q&A rich result in Google search for typical sites. HowTo rich results were similarly deprecated.

Question 2

Which schema types still earn rich results in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Product and Offer, Review and AggregateRating, Recipe, Event, JobPosting, VideoObject, BreadcrumbList, and Organization/LocalBusiness remain eligible for rich results. This checker labels each @type in your markup as still-eligible or deprecated and flags common missing required properties.

Question 3

Is this the same as Google's Rich Results Test?

Accepted Answer

No. Google's test validates syntax but buries the fact that a type has been deprecated. This tool's focus is telling you which of your types still trigger a rich result in 2026 versus which are dead, so you don't keep maintaining markup that no longer earns anything in search.
