Pages with Q&A Structured Data

Priority: Medium

Impact: Positive

What issues it may cause​

Pages without QAPage structured data won't display enhanced Q&A formatting in search results, preventing users from seeing answer counts, voting information, and accepted solutions.

How do you fix it​

  • Only use QAPage on pages with a single question where users can submit multiple answers (use FAQPage for FAQ content)

  • Include required properties: mainEntity, answerCount, at least one answer, and the full question text
  • Add recommended properties: author, datePublished, upvoteCount, and url for each answer
  • Ensure the entire question and answer text is marked up and visible on the page

Follow Google's QAPage guidelines for complete requirements

What is the positive impact​

Q&A content is eligible to appear as rich results with question text, answer counts, voting information, and highlighted accepted answers, increasing click-through rates from users searching for specific questions.

How to fetch the data for this report template​

You will need to run a crawl for report template to generate report. When report has been generated and you have crawl id you can fetch data for the report using the following query:

Operation: query GetReportStatForCrawl( $crawlId: ObjectID! $reportTemplateCode: String! $after: String ) { getReportStat( input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode} ) { crawlStructuredDataBlocks(after: $after, reportType: Basic) { nodes { url schemaType blockCount errorCount warningCount issuesSummary validationResult } totalCount pageInfo { endCursor hasNextPage } } } }Variables: {"crawlId":"TjAwNUNyYXdsNDAwMA","reportTemplateCode":"pages_with_qa_schema_blocks"}

            endCursor
            hasNextPage
          }
        }
