How to get your website get featured in Google FAQ Feature?

Before we get into how to get into this feature, here are some guidelines by Google: For user benefit, I am taking the entire text from the original source

Step 1: Follow the guidelines

Google: “For your FAQ page to be eligible for FAQ rich results, you must follow these guidelines:”

Content guidelines

Only use FAQPage if your page has a list of questions with answers. If your page has a single question and users can submit alternative answers, use QAPage instead. Here are some examples:Valid use cases:
- An FAQ page written by the site itself, with no way for users to submit alternative answers
- A product support page that lists FAQs, with no way for users to submit alternative answers
Invalid use cases:
- A forum page where users can submit answers to a single question
- A product support page where users can submit answers to a single question
- A product page where users can submit multiple questions and answers on a single page
Don’t use FAQPage for advertising purposes.
Make sure each Question includes the entire text of the question and make sure each Answer includes the entire text of the answer. The entire question text and answer text may be displayed.
Question and answer content may not be displayed as a rich result if it contains any of the following types of content: obscene, profane, sexually explicit, graphically violent, promotion of dangerous or illegal activities, or hateful or harassing language.
All FAQ content must be visible to the user on the source page.

Once you understand the guidelines, you should have FAQ written by your site itself. Google says that the answers should not be submitted by a user. It should come from you (Written by you on your website, like an answer to specific questions. For example FAQ about our Digital Marketing Course: What is the fee structure, duration, etc)

Step 2: Structure your Data

Once you have answers to Frequently asked questions. Go to https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/faqpage and get some idea about what is this all about

Step 3: Go to Schema.org FAQPage or Google Structured Data Testing Tools

To validate and preview your structured data, use Google’s Rich Result Test.

Step 4: Run a Test with structured data testing tool

Step 5: Add your questions & answers

Step 6: Copy the code and paste it on your website & Publish
