Google Launch this Update on: Wednesday, November 15, 2023

In the ever-expanding realm of online education, the quest for comprehensive course information on Google is at its peak. Today, we’re thrilled to unveil a set of groundbreaking recommendations, empowering publishers to integrate course structured data seamlessly into the world’s most popular search engine.

Diving into the Details

What is Course Structured Data?

Course structured data goes beyond the basics, allowing publishers to showcase intricate details such as pricing, educational level, ratings, and course duration. This wealth of information can now feature prominently in Google’s latest innovation – the course info rich result carousel on Google Search.

Seamless Integration with Existing Features

Google has been steadfastly supporting a course list markup feature, previously known as “Course.” Fear not, as the transition to the new course info markup won’t impact your existing traffic. The good news is that Google will continue to utilize the same schema.org structured data type for both features.

Getting Started: A Developer’s Guide

The recently launched course info developer documentation is your go-to resource for understanding the nuances of filling required and recommended fields. By adhering to the feature guidelines and eligibility criteria, your courses can effortlessly become eligible for both the existing course listing and the all-new course info feature.

Monitoring Made Easy with Search Console

Google understands the importance of ensuring your structured data is spot on. Introducing the course info Rich result report in Search Console, designed to pinpoint valid and invalid structured data items. Dive deep into the report to troubleshoot and validate your structured data seamlessly.

Instant Validation with Rich Results Test

Say goodbye to waiting around! Utilize the Rich Results Test in Search Console to check the validity of your course info markup instantly. Submit a URL or a code snippet and receive immediate confirmation on the status of your markup, saving you precious time.
