How to Show Top Answers in Google Search Results

Top Answers structured data is a type of schema markup that can be used to enhance search results with direct, concise, and informative answers to common questions or queries.

When implemented, this markup allows search engines like Google to feature your website's content in a special format known as a "Featured Snippet" or "Answer Box" at the top of the search results page.

In the Top Answers format, the search engine displays a brief summary of the answer along with the website's URL and page title, providing a quick and easy way for users to find the information they need. This can help drive more traffic to the website and improve visibility in search results.

To use Top Answers structured data, website owners must mark up their content using a specific set of schema properties, including "acceptedAnswer," "text," and "dateCreated."

Ways to add Structured Data to the website:

This structured data can be added to web pages in a variety of ways, such as through JSON-LD, microdata, or RDFa.

Advantage and Importantce of Schema Markup code

It's important to note that not all queries will display a Featured Snippet or Answer Box and that the content must be both relevant and high-quality to be considered.

By using Top Answers' structured data, website owners can improve their chances of being featured in this prominent search results feature, and provide users with a valuable and engaging search experience.

The top answers preview looks like this in google search results.

By using this structured data or schema markup code we can show the top answers in our website's Google search results.

If you want to show these top answers for your website in Google search results here is the code which you have to add to your blogger blog or WordPress website to show the top answers tab.

As you know that I am a blogger user so I can provide you steps to add this code in blogger you can also use the same code in WordPress but I am unable to provide you steps for that because I don't have WordPress CMS.

Steps to follow:

1. Go to Blogger Dashboard
2. Go to Theme/Template Section
3. Click Edit HTML
4. Now Search for an element with a class name post-footer.

To search anything in blogger template section press Ctrl+F and then type term to search and press enter.

You will find multiple elements with this class. So select the last element with this class.

5. Now copy the code provided below and paste it just after the element with the class post-footer.

<script type='application/ld+json'>
  {
    "@context": "http://schema.org",
    "@type": "QAPage",

So after adding this code to your blogger blog or WordPress site you have to customize the highlighted things accordingly.

You can set a maximum number of top answers according to your requirement but for this demo, I have only added 3 top answers.

If you want to add more top answers you have to copy and paste this code which is provided below and add it in the above code where Your Code Here is written if you don't want more answers then please remove Your Code Here from the above code.

,{
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Answer content",
"dateCreated": "5/5/2019",
"upvoteCount": 1100,
"url": "https://www.softwebtuts.blogspot.com",
"author": {
"@type": "Person",
"name": "Person Name"
