As of September 13, Google Search no longer shows How-to rich results on desktop, which means this result type is now deprecated. \n|\n| This change will be visible in the metrics for the [How-to search appearance in the performance report](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7576553#zippy=%2Csearch-appearance), and in the number of impressions reported in the [How-to enhancement reports](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7552505). Since How-to results no longer appear in Google Search, we will be dropping the How-to search appearance, rich result report, and support in the Rich results test in 30 days. To allow time for adjusting your API calls, support for How-to in the Search Console API will be removed in 180 days.\n\n\nTo provide a cleaner and more consistent search experience, we're changing how some rich results types are shown in Google's search results.\nIn particular, we're reducing the visibility of FAQ rich results, and limiting How-To rich results to desktop devices.\nThis change should finish rolling out globally within the next week.\n\nOverview of the changes\n\n\nFor site owners, these changes primarily affect the use of [FAQ](/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/faqpage) and [How-To](/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/how-to) structured data.\n\n\nGoing forward, [FAQ](/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/faqpage) (from `FAQPage` structured data) rich results will only be shown for well-known, authoritative government and health websites.\nFor all other sites, this rich result will no longer be shown regularly.\nSites may automatically be considered for this treatment depending on their eligibility.\n\n\nWhile you can drop this structured data from your site, there's no need to proactively remove it.\nStructured data that's not being used does not cause problems for Search, but also has no visible effects in Google Search.\n\n\n[How-To](/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/how-to) (from `HowTo` structured data) rich results will only be shown for desktop users, and not for users on mobile devices.\nNote that with mobile indexing, Google indexes the mobile version of a website as the basis for indexing: to have How-To rich results shown on desktop, the mobile version of your website must include the appropriate markup.\n\nChanges in Search Console reporting\n\n\nFor both of these items, you may also notice this change in the Search Console reporting for your website.\nIn particular, this will be visible in the metrics shown for FAQ and How-To [search appearances in the performance report](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7576553#zippy=%2Csearch-appearance), and in the number of impressions reported in the appropriate [enhancement reports](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7552505).\nThis change does not affect the number of items reported in the enhancement reports.\nThe search appearances, and the reports, will remain in Search Console for the time being.\n\n\nThis update is rolling out globally, in all languages and countries, over the course of the next week.\nThis should not be considered a ranking change and won't be listed in the Search status dashboard.\nNote that there will be a small holdback experiment, so some users may not see these changes right away.\n\n\nShould you have any questions, feel free to drop by our [Search Central help community](https://goo.gle/sc-forum), or ping us on [social media](https://twitter.com/googlesearchc).\n\n\nPosted by [John Mueller](/search/blog/authors/john-mueller), Search Advocate, Google Switzerland"]]
