Google Announces Changes to How-To and FAQ Schema

Google has announced changes to the How-To and FAQ schema, which will significantly reduce their visibility in search results. FAQ-rich snippets will now only be shown for authoritative government and health websites, while How-To rich results will be limited to desktop devices. These changes aim to provide a more consistent search experience.

Key Takeaways:

FAQ-rich snippets are now restricted to government and health websites.
How-To rich results will only appear on desktop searches.
No need to remove existing structured data, as Google will simply not display it.
This change may impact SEO strategies that relied heavily on these schemas.
