The FAQ Schema Masterclass: How to Use FAQPage and HowTo Schema to Win AI Summary Boxes

This masterclass covers the complete implementation for every major stack, the specific optimization decisions that move you from technically valid to actively preferred by AI citation systems, and a full validation and monitoring workflow.
