        "text": "Speakable schema is different from FAQ schema: speakable marks *which* sentences to read aloud, while FAQ schema structures a *list of question‑answer pairs* for rich results.\n\nFAQ schema is designed for on-page FAQs and may show your questions and answers directly in search. Speakable, by contrast, points to a few audio-friendly sentences anywhere in your content for voice assistants and AI to quote. They’re complementary: you can use both on the same page if the content warrants it.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Speakable targets specific snippets; FAQ models Q&A lists\n- FAQ impacts visual SERP features; speakable impacts audio/voice\n- Both use JSON-LD but different types and properties\n- Can be combined strategically when content fits\n\nDecide based on the page’s format: FAQ pages should have FAQ schema; narrative or article pages benefit more from speakable. On hybrid pages, you might use both, marking a spoken summary plus structured FAQs below.\n\nTreat each schema as serving a distinct user experience—visual vs audio.",
