Can I add FAQS schema on my homepage?

[fbowable]

Hello, can we have the FAQ code on the homepage (staff time)?

we have written some questions and answers in the drop-down list on the homepage,

and also add the schema code script to one tag of the page,

but it does not work!

Yes, If you have a portion of FAQ's on homepage you can add faq schema to it. It will help in rich snippet.

Yes you could absolutely. However I think you mark up is excellent for a lot of things it’s not known for driving traffic. Just so your aware google tells us ”

• Don’t use FAQPage for advertising purposes.”

I doubt your homepage would count but you never now in addition FAQ content turns to get clicked on very seldomly.

Because the answers to the questions are found in the SERPS people do not have to leave Google to find the answers

I know taking up more googles real estate sounds good like a featured snippet but not if your customer only cares about the answers & Google is already providing them. Which FAQ does extremely well.

below I tested your page tested as well as a mock up of inappropriately marked up page hopefully this will be of help

also below are what Google considers valid and invalid reasons for FAQ schema

look at the top of the page for errors some of your fonts aren’t loading

One of my favorite tools for generating structured data in JSON-LD  FAQ is built-in.
