FAQ Schema & AI FAQ Generator is a free WordPress plugin on WordPress.org. Its Auto Generate button reads your post and writes FAQs for it, and Fix with AI rewrites every answer after you run the quality check. The AI buttons (Auto Generate, Fix with AI and AI Detect for the target keyword) use your own OpenAI API key, so those calls are billed to your OpenAI account. Pasting or typing FAQs, the two quality scores and the FAQPage schema work with no key at all.
Checked on Nov 10, 2026, with plugin version 1.12.1. What we tested: the plugin’s paste parser (the same code the block runs) on five common FAQ formats, in Node.js. What we did not test: Auto Generate and Fix with AI, which need an OpenAI key.
What does this free AI FAQ generator do?
It adds one block, listed as FAQ Schema (AI SEO), to the WordPress block editor. The block gives you three ways to fill it: let AI write the FAQs from your post, paste FAQs you already have, or type them by hand. Whichever you pick, the block shows the questions on the page and adds matching FAQPage JSON-LD to the page head.
- Auto Generate (AI): reads the post content from the editor and writes FAQs in the post’s language, or in one of 18 languages you choose.
- Paste: a parser turns Q:/A: lines, Question:/Answer: labels, headings that end in a question mark, numbered lists and HTML accordions into separate questions and answers.
- Manual: type each question and answer yourself.
- Fix with AI: rewrites each answer as a 40 to 80 word answer that starts with a direct reply and can be quoted on its own.
Which features work without an OpenAI key?
Everything except the three AI buttons: Auto Generate, Fix with AI and AI Detect (target keyword). The key is optional and lives under Settings → AI FAQ Schema → OpenAI API Key (optional). If you leave it empty, the plugin still parses, scores, displays and marks up your FAQs.
| Feature | Needs an OpenAI key? |
|---|---|
| Paste existing FAQs | No |
| Type FAQs by hand | No |
| SEO score (12 checks) and GEO score (8 checks) | No |
| FAQPage JSON-LD | No |
| 7 display styles, colors and fonts | No |
| Auto Generate | Yes |
| Fix with AI | Yes |
| AI Detect (target keyword) | Yes |
Which FAQ formats can you paste?
All five formats we tried came out as clean question and answer pairs. We copied the parser functions out of the plugin’s blocks/block.js and fed it two-question samples in each format.
| Pasted format | FAQs found |
|---|---|
| Q: / A: lines | 2 of 2 |
| Question: / Answer: labels | 2 of 2 |
| Markdown headings ending in “?” | 2 of 2 |
| HTML <details> accordion | 2 of 2 |
| Numbered list, question then answer | 2 of 2 |
One sample input and what the parser returned:
Pasted:
1. What time do you open?
We open at 9 AM every day.
2. Is parking free?
Yes, the lot behind the building is free.
Parsed:
1. Q: What time do you open? | A: We open at 9 AM every day.
2. Q: Is parking free? | A: Yes, the lot behind the building is free.How do you add AI FAQs to a WordPress post?
- In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin, search for FAQ Schema & AI FAQ Generator, click Install Now, then Activate.
- Optional, for the AI buttons: open Settings → AI FAQ Schema, paste your key into OpenAI API Key (optional) and save.
- Open a post in the block editor, click the + inserter and search for FAQ Schema.
- Pick Auto Generate, paste your FAQs, or type them.
- Check the SEO and GEO scores, edit what they flag, then publish. The JSON-LD is added for you.
To try a similar answer check before you install anything, our browser tool Free FAQ Schema Generator builds FAQPage JSON-LD and scores each answer with 8 checks. For writing tips, see How to Write FAQ Answers.
Will FAQ schema still get you a Google rich result?
No. Google stopped showing the FAQ rich result in Search on May 7, 2026, so the markup no longer produces an expandable FAQ in Google results. The block still prints standard schema.org FAQPage markup, and the questions stay visible on your page for readers. We tested what changed in Does FAQ Schema Still Work in 2026?
What does the plugin not do?
It cannot promise that ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google will quote your answers. The scores check how an answer is written; they are our own rules, not a measure of citations. AI-written FAQs still need a human read before you publish, and the AI buttons cost whatever OpenAI charges your key.
Get it on WordPress.org. It also includes an llms.txt generator and an AI crawler blocker.
FAQs
Is the AI FAQ generator plugin really free?
Yes. FAQ Schema & AI FAQ Generator is free on WordPress.org under the GPLv2-or-later license. The only possible cost is OpenAI usage, and only if you add your own API key to use the AI buttons: Auto Generate, Fix with AI or AI Detect.
Can I use it without an OpenAI API key?
Yes. Without a key you can paste or type FAQs, see the SEO and GEO scores, pick a display style and publish FAQPage schema. Only the AI buttons need a key: Auto Generate, Fix with AI and AI Detect (target keyword).
Does it work alongside Rank Math or Yoast?
Yes. The block warns you when the same post also has a Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, Spectra or Kadence FAQ block that prints FAQPage schema. A Schema Output switch lets you turn off this block's schema while its visible FAQ stays on the page.
Which languages can Auto Generate write in?
Auto Generate matches your post's language by default, or you can force one of 18 specific languages. That makes 19 language options in total.
