FAQ Accordion & Schema Reviews, Downloads & Maintenance

FAQ Accordion lets you easily add interactive FAQ sections to your WordPress site, while automatically generating FAQ schema markup for better SEO visibility in Google and other search engines.

The plugin provides an accordion-style FAQ block via shortcode and includes options to enable or disable schema markup, add custom CSS styles, and choose whether to override or respect your theme’s default styles.

By default, the plugin uses the [faq_accordion] shortcode.
And there is a settings toggle for the option to use the [faq] shortcode. Both work the same way.

✅ SEO-friendly FAQ schema markup
✅ Lightweight accordion display
✅ Works with any theme
✅ Backup shortcode included
✅ Configurable style options
✅ Automatically builds the accordion

Installation

Upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/faq-accordion-schema
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
Add an FAQ accordion to your page or post using the [faq] shortcode (or [faq_accordion] if needed)
Configure settings in Settings FAQ Accordion

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin support FAQ schema markup?

Yes. By default, schema markup is enabled and helps your FAQs appear in Google’s FAQ rich results.

Can I disable schema markup?

Yes. There is a settings option to enable or disable schema markup.

What if my theme already has accordion styles?

You can choose whether to override theme styles (default) or allow your theme’s styles to apply.

What shortcodes are available?

[faq_accordion] — default FAQ accordion with schema markup
[faq] — optional shortcode, works the same way

Does the FAQ Accordion & Schema plugin automatically add FAQ schema?

Yes. Every accordion you create with the plugin includes valid FAQPage JSON-LD markup by default. This helps Google and AI systems understand your questions and answers without requiring manual coding.

How does this plugin help with AI and LLM visibility?

Large language models look for clearly labeled question-and-answer pairs when assembling responses. The plugin outputs structured data that makes it easier for LLMs to interpret your content and include it in generated answers.

Can I use this plugin to add more content without cluttering the page?

Absolutely. The accordion format lets you publish additional questions and answers in a compact way. This gives you more coverage for SEO and answer engines while keeping your pages clean and readable for visitors.

Why should I use this plugin instead of coding schema manually?

Manually writing JSON-LD is error-prone and time-consuming. The plugin handles schema automatically and ensures it stays valid as you edit or expand your FAQs. You focus on writing good content, and the markup is handled for you.

Where can I validate my structured data?

You can test any page that includes FAQ schema using Google’s Schema Markup Validator. Enter your URL to confirm if your structured data is valid.
