“We created these Education Q&A content guidelines to ensure our users have access to relevant learning resources,” Google said. According to Google, if they find content that violates these guidelines, they will respond appropriately, which may include taking manual action and not showing your content in the Google education Q&A rich result.”
Structured data from Education Q&A can help students easily find your flashcard pages. You need to add quiz-structured data to your flashcard pages in order to accomplish this. Structured data makes your content eligible to appear in the Education Q&A carousel in Google Search results, Google Assistant, and Google Lens results, Google said.
