What this markup does today

Google retired HowTo rich results on desktop and mobile in 2023, so this earns no SERP display today. It still gives answer engines a clean ordered procedure to quote, which is where the remaining value is.

Frequently asked questions

For SERP appearance, no — Google removed HowTo rich results in 2023 and they no longer display. The markup still gives answer engines an unambiguous ordered procedure to lift, which is increasingly where instructional content gets surfaced. Add it because it describes the page accurately, not because it will change how the listing looks.
