Accordion Widget and Google Faq Schema Validation – Widget not validating

1 year ago · Last reply by Andrew Misplon 1 year ago

Hey Andrew/SO team,

I stood up a new site recently and used SiteOrigin tools, of course, but my clients are SEO guys and they’ve found an issue that I can’t figure out. They’re reporting that their FAQ on the home page is not achieving SEO FAQ Schema validation.

I used the Accordion widget from the Widgets Bundle. How can I give it proper markup to be validated for Googles SEO schema whatsits?

    Hi Tim

    Thanks for getting in touch.

    Unfortunately, there isn’t a quick solution to add the schema outlined at https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/faqpage. I’ll log your request shortly. Our development timeline is full for the coming months. As much as I’d like to assist with your request immediately, I can’t say when it will be attended to. For an immediate fix to the client’s request, it would be best to seek out an accordion with the FAQ schema ready. Sorry, I don’t have better news. Thanks for letting us know about the request.

    Hey Andrew,

    No sweat! It was worth a shot before I had to find another plugin or actually whip up my own (gasp). I’ll take a look at different options for them but I appreciate your quick and honest answer!

    Thanks for your understanding; much appreciated. I sent an email, too. We’ll be back on tomorrow. Cheers.
