Every Schema Type Google Supports in 2026 (And Everything It Deprecated)

Google has retired eleven structured data features since 2023. If you implemented schema a few years ago and haven't revisited it, some of what you built no longer produces anything visible in Search, and a great deal of the advice still circulating online references features that no longer exist.

This is the complete current picture, verified directly against Google Search Central's structured data gallery rather than secondhand summaries. Every supported type below appears in Google's own documentation as of its June 15, 2026 update.

Every type Google currently supports

Google's structured data gallery lists 25 features. Grouped by purpose:

Commerce

Product: Information about a product, including price, availability, and review ratings.

Product has expanded into a family of shopping features, each with its own documentation: Product snippet (review stars, ratings, price, availability), Merchant listing (advanced commercial cards), Variants (size, colour, and configuration handling), Loyalty program, Merchant return policy, and Merchant shipping policy. If you run an online store, this is the highest-value markup available to you.

Vacation rental: Property name, description, images, location, rating, and reviews.

Business and entity

Local business: Business details in the Google knowledge panel, including opening hours, ratings, directions, and actions to book appointments or order items.

Organization: Logo, legal name, address, contact information, and company identifiers, which can appear in knowledge panels and other visual elements.

Profile page: A page focused on a single person or organization affiliated with the site.

Breadcrumb: Navigation indicating the page's position in the site hierarchy.

Content and media

Article: News, sports, or blog articles displayed with the title and larger-than-thumbnail images.

Video: Video results with playback, video segments, and live-stream support.

Movie: The movie carousel, for pages listing films.

Image metadata: Creator, licensing, and credit information shown in Google Images.

Speakable: Marks news content for text-to-speech on Google Assistant devices.

Subscription and paywalled content: Distinguishes paywalled content from cloaking, which violates Google's spam policies.

Carousel: A sequential list or gallery from a single site. It can't be used alone; it must be combined with Recipe, Course list, Restaurant, or Movie.

Community and Q&A

Discussion forum: User-generated content followed by threaded or non-threaded discussion.

Q&A: Pages containing one question followed by its answers.

Education Q&A: Education-related questions and answers that help students discover flashcards.

Q&A and Education Q&A are alive and well. They're distinct from FAQPage, which is not. More on that below.

Jobs

Job posting: Feeds the Google for Jobs experience with your logo, reviews, ratings, and job details.

Employer aggregate rating: An evaluation of a hiring organization shown in the job search experience.

Food, education, and data

Recipe: Recipes as an individual rich result or part of a host carousel.

Course list: A list of educational courses from the same provider, including course title, provider, and short description.

Math solver: Math problem types and step-by-step walkthroughs.

Dataset: Large datasets surfaced through Google Dataset Search.

Cross-cutting

Review snippet: A review excerpt or rating average. It isn't standalone: it applies to Book, Recipe, Movie, Product, Software App, and Local business.

Software app: Rating information, description, and a link to the app.

Everything Google has deprecated

The June 2025 batch was announced by Google Search Product Manager Henry Hsu as a simplification effort (the features were underused or no longer added enough user value) with an explicit statement that rankings weren't affected. Documentation for those types was removed by September 2025.

Two details worth flagging. Sources differ on whether Practice Problems was retired in November 2025 or January 2026; either way it's gone. And Google's documentation sidebar still contains pages for Book actions and Fact check even though neither appears in the supported features gallery: leftover documentation, not a sign of support.

The Course nuance most articles get wrong

Course Info was retired in June 2025. Course list was not.

These are different features. Course Info produced a detail-heavy display with price, duration, and structural information about an individual course. Course list produces a list of courses from the same provider (course title, provider, short description) and it remains in Google's supported gallery today, and can be combined with Carousel.

So if you sell online courses, you haven't lost rich result eligibility. You've lost one presentation format and kept another. Plenty of published advice states flatly that "Course schema was deprecated," which is wrong, and following it will cost course creators visibility they could still be earning.

FAQPage is gone, but Q&A isn't

Another distinction worth being precise about, because they're constantly conflated.

FAQPage (a page where the site publishes questions and its own answers) lost rich results on May 7, 2026 for every site, including the authoritative government and health sites that had retained eligibility since 2023.

Q&A (a page where users submit multiple answers to a question) remains supported. So do Education Q&A and Discussion forum.

The FAQPage markup pattern hasn't changed and isn't deprecated at schema.org. Only Google's willingness to render it as a visible enhancement ended. Full details in Is FAQ Schema Dead?

What "deprecated" actually means

This causes more confusion than anything else in structured data, so precisely:

The schema.org vocabulary is unchanged. HowTo, FAQPage, and SpecialAnnouncement remain valid types. Validators will still consider your markup syntactically correct, per Google's structured data guidelines.

There's no penalty. Google has stated repeatedly that these changes don't affect rankings: they're presentation changes, not algorithmic ones, and Google's systems safely ignore unsupported structured data.

You simply aren't eligible for that visual treatment. That's the entire consequence.

Reporting disappears alongside it. Search Console retires appearance filters, rich result reports, and Rich Results Test support for retired features. If your QA process used the Rich Results Test as a "will this trigger" gate, that check no longer exists for those types.

Don't scrub old markup. Removing deprecated types gains nothing, costs time, and forfeits whatever value other systems derive from it. Bing and other engines process markup on their own terms, and AI crawlers parse structured data when building answers.

What this means for your strategy

The pattern is directional. Each retirement removes a SERP feature that gave third-party content extra display space, while Google's own AI Overview gains ground. Types describing fundamental entities (products, businesses, organizations, articles) have survived every round. Types tied to narrow vertical presentations have not. That's a reasonable guide to where implementation effort is safe. See our use case guides for priorities by industry.

Structured data was never a ranking factor. Google has confirmed this consistently, including throughout these retirements. What markup does is remove ambiguity: it states explicitly that this string is a price, this is an author, this is a cook time. That function is untouched by any deprecation.

Be careful with AI claims. Google now publishes specific guidance on optimizing for generative AI, and it's worth reading directly rather than relying on secondhand summaries. Structured data helps machines understand your content, but anyone telling you schema guarantees AI citation is overselling.

Verify before trusting any list, including this one. The supported set has narrowed four times since 2023. Google's structured data gallery is the authoritative source and it changes without announcements. Bookmark it and check before major implementation work. Our schema types directory covers implementation for the types that apply to your site.

AI Schema Gen generates and validates structured data across 827+ schema types, so you can implement what's currently supported without hand-writing JSON-LD. Start free or browse the schema types directory, and see plans and pricing if you're ready to go further.
