Frequently asked questions

What does bulk mode expect in the schema column?
Raw JSON-LD, one parseable blob per cell, for example a Screaming Frog custom extraction of script type application/ld+json. Cells that fail JSON parsing are skipped silently, so truncated cells or several JSON blobs concatenated into one cell produce no rows rather than an error. If the output looks thin, spot check whether your cells are valid standalone JSON.
Does it only read JSON-LD?
Yes. URL mode parses script tags with type application/ld+json only; FAQ or Q&A markup implemented in microdata or RDFa is not extracted.
Why does a URL with visible FAQ schema return nothing?
URL mode fetches pages with plain HTTP requests and no JavaScript rendering, so schema injected client side, for instance via a tag manager, is not in the HTML the tool sees. Crawl the site with a JavaScript rendering crawler, extract the JSON-LD into a column and use bulk mode instead.
How are multiple or missing answers handled?
If acceptedAnswer or suggestedAnswer is an array, only the first answer's text is captured. Questions with no readable answer are still extracted with an empty answer cell, so blank answers in the export usually reflect the markup, not a failed fetch.

This tool started as bespoke client work. I build custom scripts, data pipelines, and full apps for SEO and product data problems that off-the-shelf tools don't solve.
