@johnmu About "Google Data highlighter": do you think it makes sense to use it even if you have already implemented structured data on the page?
@mariachiaramarsella No, it's only if you can't implement it (and, with all the plugins, implementing is easier than ever)
@johnmu @mariachiaramarsella is it still true that the data highlighter markup is just as valid and used by Google Search still today? https://www.seroundtable.com/google-markup-data-highlighter-equivalent-24326.html
@johnmu @rustybrick @mariachiaramarsella Totally true, but let me add some caveats. The schema types in data highlighter are not all actively consumed in visual features and some have not been updated to support fields that are required by more recent features. But the data will still flow like markup and I've seen it pop up in some of our features still (it's a small amount).
Maybe this will finally be the year I achieve better feature type parity. It's tougher to do with some features that need data that isn't always easily found on the page. The search console team also owes me better reporting (it's filtered out) but it's hard to complain about until I clean up the supported types.
@rrlevering thanks for sharing your experience
