What changes?
Google is reducing support for selected structured data reports and testing features that no longer create visible search results. That does not mean schema is irrelevant. It means teams should focus on markup that supports real search features and helps machines understand the page.
What to do now
- Inventory all schema types currently used on the site.
- Remove obsolete or misleading markup.
- Keep Article, Organization, LocalBusiness, Product, Breadcrumb and FAQ only where they are accurate and useful.
- Validate important templates after every deployment.
SEO impact
The cleanup is a good reminder: structured data is not decoration. It must match visible content, stay technically valid and support the search intent of the page.
Next step
We can audit your templates, remove outdated markup and document which schema types should remain in your WordPress theme.
