SEO companies and site admins are probably now aware of the new Search Console reports launched by Google for Guided Recipes on 19 May 2020. Google released both Guided Recipes in Rich Results test and a new Guided Recipes Enhancement report.
According to Google, the feature aims to “instantly validate the markup for individual recipes”. In addition, It allows you to discover any problems that may have cropped up with all of the recipes on your website too.
Guided Recipes Enhancement Report. The new guided recipes enhancement report in Search Console will provide you with an individualised report for your recipe markup. This includes details of fully valid pages, errors and any warnings discovered among your website’s recipes. Moreover, if a problem is found and you then take steps to solve it, you can utilise the report itself to notify Google that your webpage has changed. This alerts Google to the need to recrawl and process your webpage.
Guided Recipes in Rich Results Test. Google has updated the rich results testing tool as well, so that it now shows errors or recommendations for your recipe structured data.
You can utilise the Preview tool in the Rich Results Test to check how Assistant guidance for your recipe can be seen on a smart display. By doing this, you can locate any problems with your markup before you publish it.
Why we care. All of these extra Search Console tools and reports around recipe markup can be beneficial for any website that utilises recipe markup. Not only do the reports detect issues with the recipe markup sooner rather than later, but they now even report the fact that you’ve fixed those issues to Google once that’s been done. As a result, your recipes will begin to show up correctly in Google much quicker than they used to.
This Is When Google Crawls And Indexes A 410 Status Code Website
Google’s John Mueller told SEO experts and site admins on Twitter that there’s no definitive timeframe or duration for when Google will index and crawl a particular webpage which has a 410 status code.
The question was: "For how long will googlebot pingback an URL for which 410 status code is issued"?
John responded: “There's no fixed duration".
A 410 status code states that "the requested resource is no longer available at the server and no forwarding address is known. This condition is expected to be considered permanent. Clients with link editing capabilities SHOULD delete references to the Request-URI after user approval.
“If the server does not know, or has no facility to determine, whether or not the condition is permanent, the status code 404 (Not Found) SHOULD be used instead. This response is cacheable unless indicated otherwise.
“The 410 response is primarily intended to assist the task of web maintenance by notifying the recipient that the resource is intentionally unavailable and that the server owners desire that remote links to that resource be removed.
“Such an event is common for limited-time, promotional services and for resources belonging to individuals no longer working at the server's site. It is not necessary to mark all permanently unavailable resources as "gone" or to keep the mark for any length of time -- that is left to the discretion of the server owner".
