FAQ structured data not recognized
-
Since what looks like the december 3rd Google update, the FAQ structured data from Yoast is not getting parsed correctly anymore.
This can be seen on the Yoast site on the page https://yoast.com/yoastcon/faq/
When testing this page with Google Search Rich Text parser (https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoast.com%2Fyoastcon%2Ffaq%2F&user_agent=1) the ‘name’ and ‘acceptedAnswer’ fields do not show up. Google Search results therefore do not show the FAQ items below the search result.
When testing this with a page with FAQ that does show the items in the search results like https://eliaslange.com/faq-markup-schema-rich-snippet-generator/ , the Rich Text parser does show the questions and answers in the structure (see https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsaijogeorge.com%2Fjson-ld-schema-generator%2Ffaq%2F&user_agent=1).
Unfortunately I have not found yet what precisely is causing this issue.
Thanks,

I confirm that name and acceptedAnswer are in the LD-JSON of the source code. Unfortunately they don’t show up when you unfold the FAQ element under ‘Detected Items’ in the Google Structured Data Testing Tool (see https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoast.com%2Fyoastcon%2Ffaq%2F&user_agent=1).
However I can verify that given above, still Google is able to detect it and show it accordingly on the Google Search page (see https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ayoast.com+yoastcon+faq).
So let’s close it for know. We will continue to do further research why our FAQ is not showing up in Google Search (probably other policies).
Thanks,
Andre
