Google reduces the visibility of HowTo and FAQ rich results in search

August 10, 2023

Google will be showing fewer rich results in its search results, specifically showing less FAQ rich results across the search result snippets and limiting How-To rich results to desktop devices. Google said the FAQs, FAQPage structured data, rich results will only be shown for “well-known, authoritative government and health websites.”For all other sites, this rich result will no longer be shown regularly, Google added. Google said the How-To, from HowTo structured data, rich results will only be shown for desktop users, and not for users on mobile devices. If your site is impacted by this, you may see a decline in clicks from Google Search to your site. Your Google Search Console performance reports would show the decline in clicks and your analytics traffic would show a drop in traffic from Google Search.
