VercatusFAQ HowTo limits
FAQ rich results no longer appear in Google Search. In August 2023 Google limited them to well-known, authoritative government and health websites; its documentation changelog of 8 May 2026 says the feature will no longer appear starting 7 May 2026, and on 15 June 2026 Google removed the FAQ rich result documentation because the feature is no longer shown. How-to rich results were limited to desktop in August 2023 and deprecated on desktop too from 13 September 2023. Google's 2023 post adds that unused structured data causes no problems for Search but has no visible effect there.
