Programmatic Blueprint: AEO / Retrieval

High-Conversion SaaS FAQ Schema Architect

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) Technical Definition:

FAQPage Schema formats questions and answers into Schema.org Question/Answer entities. Google retired FAQ rich results, so this markup does not expand a Google listing. It remains valid structured data that Bing and AI retrieval crawlers can read.
