Rich results test

Paste a URL. We read its structured data, match each item to the Google feature it could be eligible for, and show the required properties it's missing and the features Google no longer shows.

Checking the markup itself, not the features? The schema markup validator reads every block and flags syntax errors.

Short answer: paste a page URL. We find its JSON-LD and microdata, match each item to the Google feature it could earn, such as Product snippet, Recipe or Breadcrumb, and check it against the properties Google’s guide for that feature marks as required. Features Google has stopped showing are labelled, with the date.

What each result means

Required properties present. The item has everything the guide requires, so it could be eligible. Google’s general structured data guidelines add that correct markup doesn’t guarantee a rich result.
Missing required properties. An item without them isn’t eligible. We name each one, and list the recommended properties too.
Google no longer shows this. The markup can still be valid, but the feature has left Search.

What Google has stopped showing

Google’s structured data gallery lists the features that exist today. These are gone or going, from Google’s own documentation updates:

FAQ: not shown since May 7, 2026, and the guide was removed on June 15, 2026. From 2023 it was limited to well-known government and health sites.
How-to: removed from desktop on September 13, 2023, after mobile earlier that year.
Sitelinks search box: removed on November 29, 2024.
Course info, estimated salary, learning video, special announcement and vehicle listing: removed in September 2025.
Fact check (ClaimReview): being phased out, and dropped from the Rich Results Test on September 9, 2025.
Dataset: Google clarified in November 2025 that this markup is used by Dataset Search, not by Google Search results.

Limits worth knowing

We read the HTML your server sends. Markup that JavaScript adds after the page loads isn’t in it, while Google renders a page before reading it, so for a page that builds its markup in the browser use Google’s Rich Results Test. We read JSON-LD and microdata and count RDFa without judging it. Some features need more than markup: vacation rentals need an invitation from Google, the movie carousel needs a list and is for mobile, and events must be in a physical place and open to the public. Each result card lists the limits Google states.

For a deeper pass on the markup itself, use the schema markup validator. To write the JSON-LD, start from the schema markup generator.

Questions

Does passing this test mean Google will show a rich result?

No. It means every property Google's guide for that feature marks as required is there. Google's general structured data guidelines say that correct markup still may not get a rich result, because the result depends on the search, the device and the page, and the markup has to match what visitors see on the page.

Why is my FAQ markup listed as something Google no longer shows?

Google stopped showing FAQ rich results on May 7, 2026 and removed its FAQ guide on June 15, 2026. Since 2023 they had only appeared for well-known government and health sites. The markup is still valid schema.org, and Google has said structured data that isn't used does no harm, so there's no need to hurry to delete it. Other systems may still read it.

How is this different from Google's Rich Results Test?

This test is quick and says in plain terms what a page is missing for each feature, but it reads the HTML your server sends and checks the properties Google's guides list as required. Google's tool renders the page with JavaScript, previews some results and applies Google's full rules, so use it for the final check. Every result here links to it, with your page's address already filled in.

What's the difference between this and the schema markup validator?

The schema markup validator checks the JSON-LD itself: syntax, and the properties of each type. This test asks a different question, which Google features the page could get. It ignores types Google has no feature for and adds each feature's limits, such as the vacation rental program or the mobile-only movie carousel. Run the validator to fix the markup and this test to see what it could earn.

Which structured data should I add first?

Mark up what the page already shows and what Google has a feature for: Organization and WebSite on the home page, BreadcrumbList on inner pages, Article on posts, Product or Software app where you have real reviews, and Video, Recipe or Event where that's the content. Google's guidelines say not to mark up content visitors can't see, and never to invent ratings.
