Did you know that All in One SEO Pro lets you add Schema markup for FAQs?
This means that search engines can display rich snippets for your FAQs like the example below.
IMPORTANT:
You can’t force Google to display search results like this. It happens on a per search basis depending on whether they feel it’s the best way to display the results.
Google announced changes to when they might display FAQ rich results in August 2023.
