Google Search Console removes search appearance from rich results: –
- Google turns off the generic search look of rich results in Search Console.
- Google is retiring the generic search appearance of rich results in Search Console performance reports, as there are now individual filters for most types of rich results.
- Google is getting rid of rich results reporting in Search Console.
- Google is removing a specific filter that combined all the rich results data into one view.
- The generic look and feel of rich search results is no longer necessary, Google says, as many of the supported rich result types have their own break row.
- Pooling all your data for rich results was never an ideal solution, but it was the only solution available at a time when granular reporting was not available.
- Google Search Console now supports 19 types of search appearance in performance reports.
- If a site is eligible for multiple types of rich results, combining all the impression data into a single metric is not as useful for the site owner.
- Removing the search appearance does not affect traffic in any way; it’s just a report change.
- Site owners aren’t losing data either, as the Search Console performance report will continue to provide data on individual rich result types in its own drill down rows.
- Google will continue to support the generic look of rich search results until August 2021.
- Starting in August, it will no longer be available in Search Console or the API.
