As part of our ongoing efforts to
simplify the Google Search results page, we will be phasing out support for a few
structured data features in
Search. We regularly evaluate the usefulness of Search features, both for users and website owners.
We're phasing out these specific structured data types because our analysis shows that they're
not commonly used in Search, and we found that these specific displays are no longer providing
significant additional value for users. Removing them will help streamline the results page and
focus on other experiences that are more useful and widely used.
This update won't affect how pages are ranked. This simplification means that for some results,
the specific visual enhancements powered by these lesser-used markups will no longer appear,
leading to a more streamlined presentation. The use of these structured data types outside of
Google Search (and dependent features) is not affected.
The following structured data types will no longer be supported in Google Search results and will
be phased out over the coming weeks and months:
Structured data can be a valuable way for website owners to describe their content and enable
helpful Search features. While we're retiring some lesser-used displays, we'll continue to
actively support a range of structured data types that users find helpful when evaluating
content to visit.
We believe this change contributes to a cleaner, more focused Search results page for everyone.
We'll keep looking for ways to simplify the Search results page to provide the best experience for
users and website owners, and we'll share updates as we continue this work. If you have any
questions or concerns, please reach out to us in the
Google Search Central Community
or on LinkedIn.
