Google Updates Search Help Docs For Robots.txt & Structured Data
https://www.seroundtable.comGoogle has released several updates to both the robots.txt documentation and the structured data documentation last Friday. Here is a list of those changes from Google’s site.
- Simplified the introduction page to make it clearer what is robots.txt and what is its intended use.
- Expanded the instructions about creating and updating robots.txt files.
- Removed redundant sections from our documentation about how Google handles robots.txt.
- Simplified sentences across all robots.txt documentation in English. This helps with localization.
- Removed redundant documentation about how to build, test, and release structured data. Each feature has guidance about this, embedded directly into each guide (for example, the Video structured data guide.
- Improved the troubleshooting sections across all structured data feature guides (for example, the Product structure data guide.
- Added more beginner-friendly information about how to get started with structured data.
