A professional vector infographic split vertically comparing the 2026 Google Structured Data Guidelines. The left side, titled "WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGED," shows glowing updates to JSON-LD code and new schema types for AI-driven rich results in shades of blue and orange.

Google Structured Data Guidelines 2026: What Actually Changed, and What Still Works

FAQ rich results stopped appearing in Google Search on 7 May 2026. How-To results disappeared even earlier. Search Console is dropping structured data reporting for several types entirely. None of this means schema markup stopped mattering - it means what schema is actually for has quietly shifted, from decorating a search listing to establishing trust for AI systems. Here is exactly what changed and what to do about it.

A clean, professional vector infographic split vertically, comparing "The Attractive Offer" of Fixed Price, No Contract Web Design in the UK with "The IP Trap: The Truth." Across the top, the title reads "FIXED PRICE WEB DESIGN UK: THE TRUTH BEHIND 'NO CONTRACT'." The left side, titled "THE ATTRACTIVE OFFER," shows glowing icons for "NO TIE-IN," "ONE-OFF PAYMENT," and "FULL ACCESS" to a stylized digital building, with a shield protecting the small business owner. The right side, titled "THE IP TRAP: THE TRUTH," features a massive, glowing gold chain labeled "IP TRAP: MISSING OWNERSHIP" wrapped around a website design. Surprised business owners discover that "CODE OWNERSHIP," "DESIGN RIGHTS," and "SOURCE FILES" are often hidden under a "LICENSE ONLY (NOT OWNERSHIP)" warning, with gears for the platform locked by a hidden figure. The abstract background uses professional blues and contrasting orange and gold data patterns, conveying digital marketing and optimization insights.

Fixed Price Web Design UK: What "No Contract" Actually Means (and the IP Trap Most Guides Miss)

Under UK law, the person who builds your website keeps the copyright unless a contract says otherwise. This is the honest, specific breakdown of what fixed-price and no-contract should actually mean, the IP trap that phrase can hide, and how to tell a genuine offer from a risky one.

This is the part almost nobody covers: what your website and online presence needs to look like from day one, so the first homeowner who searches Google finds a credible, registered electrician rather than nothing at all.
