Google Enhances Search Ranking for Forums and Profiles with New Structured Data Tools
Google has announced support for structured data for discussion forums and profile pages in Google Search. This update aims to enhance the visibility of first-hand content from online forums and improve the display of information from personal profiles in search results. The new structured data includes markup for online forums and profile pages, allowing Google to better identify and surface relevant information. Additionally, Google has introduced reporting capabilities in Search Console to monitor the use of this structured data. Implementing this structured data can potentially lead to improved search appearance, increased visibility for content creators, and audience growth. However, it is a voluntary feature and not mandatory for website owners.
