With the Ultimate FAQ plugin and its simple UI, you can quickly create FAQs and add them to your site using the included blocks, patterns or shortcodes.

The plugin includes full FAQPage and FAQ schema structured data markup, in LD+JSON format. So, when your page is indexed, Google will know it’s an FAQ page and can list it accordingly in search results.

Your FAQs are created using a post type. This means it works out of the box with language plugins like WPML, Loco Translate and Polylang. There are also many community translations already available here. And, of course, we include an up-to-date .pot for good measure, in case you like to create your own custom translations for your FAQs.

Statistics and view counts are automatically enabled, so you can easily keep track of which FAQs are the most popular.

We’ve included the ability for you to enable comments on FAQs, giving you a platform to communicate with your users/customers and help improve not only your knowledge base, but your overall product or service.
