Definition
Structured Data & SchemaHowTo Schema is a Schema.org type for pages providing step-by-step instructions. Google deprecated HowTo rich results in September 2023, meaning the markup no longer generates special search appearance features. The schema can still be used to help AI systems understand instructional content.
