Why is FAQ Schema so important for SEO?

FAQ Schema (FAQPage) allows Google to display your Q&A content directly in search results, significantly improving click-through rates and visibility. It's especially effective for educational and product pages.

Does adding a year to the title really help?

Yes, including the year (e.g., '2025') in your title is an important freshness signal that tells search engines and users the content is current. Competitive keywords usually include the year.

How much content is considered enough?

There's no absolute standard, but educational content typically needs 1500+ words. The key is 'comprehensively answering user questions' rather than just word count. The tool checks word count and provides recommendations.

What level of schema completeness should I aim for?

The basic combination is BreadcrumbList + Organization/WebSite + Article/FAQPage. Each schema type increases your chances of getting Rich Results, but 'correctness' is more important than 'quantity'.

SEO Best Practices Checker Guide

This tool checks four key SEO best practices: FAQ Schema, title optimization, schema completeness, and content depth. Each check comes with clear recommendations and code examples.

1) FAQ Schema Check

FAQ Schema (FAQPage) is one of the easiest schema types to get Rich Results with. The tool checks:

Whether FAQPage Schema exists
Whether the question count is in the optimal 3-10 range
Whether Question and Answer structures are complete

If FAQ Schema is missing, the tool provides a ready-to-copy JSON-LD code template.

2) Title Best Practices

The tool checks two key points:

Year: Whether the title includes a current/recent year (e.g., "2025") - an important freshness signal
Keyword Position: Whether the main keyword is within the first 60 characters to ensure full display in SERPs

Good title example: "What is SEO? Complete Beginner's Guide [2025]"

3) Schema Completeness

The tool calculates schema coverage by checking for these types:

BreadcrumbList: Navigation path - almost every page should have this
Organization/WebSite: Brand identity - typically on the homepage
Article/TechArticle: Essential for article content
FAQPage: For FAQ pages

For more schema types, see:Schema / JSON-LD Guide

4) Content Depth

The tool analyzes page content "depth" including:

Word Count: Total words (1500+ recommended)
Heading Structure: H2/H3 count (at least 2 H2s recommended)
Media: Image count

Content depth isn't about "more is better" - it's about "comprehensively answering user intent."
