Google is simplifying its search results by dropping support for seven structured data markups that have proven to be underused. The decision comes after analysis revealed these markups did not provide significant value for users, prompting Google to focus on more beneficial experiences. Although they will be phased out, Google assured that a range of other structured data types will still be supported, maintaining their commitment to enhance user content evaluation. Users are encouraged not to remove lesser-used markups as they might still benefit other search engines.
