Should every article have FAQ schema, or is that old SEO advice now?

I used to add FAQs to most posts for SEO. Is that still useful in 2026, especially with AI answers and rich results changing?

Some sites abuse FAQs by adding ten repetitive questions at the bottom of every article. That feels like old-school SEO clutter. I prefer three to six good questions that answer real objections or decision points. Quality beats volume.

FAQs are useful when they prevent the reader from going back to Google. If someone finishes your article and still has basic questions, the page is incomplete. I care less about the schema and more about whether the FAQ improves satisfaction.

I would not add FAQs just for schema anymore. Add them when they genuinely answer follow-up questions the reader has. FAQ schema may not produce the same visible rich results it once did, but a strong FAQ section can still improve the page and help search engines understand coverage.
