Google’s Danny Sullivan mentioned that not solely can a wealthy outcome guide motion outcome within the removing of your wealthy outcomes from displaying in Google Search but in addition it could actually result in a wider “broader spam guide motion that includes rating.”
Only for some historical past, in 2015 John Mueller of Google mentioned a wealthy outcomes guide motion would solely result in a website’s wealthy outcomes being illegible (eliminated) from displaying in Google Search. He mentioned it will not end in a website having a rating decline due to a wealthy outcome guide motion.
So it is a little bit of a change in what the messaging is round this, or is it?
In 2015 John mentioned “Wealthy snippet themselves don’t offer you rating boosts. So it will’t form of make sense to demote a website in rankings if they’re doing one thing unsuitable with wealthy snippets. So basically we simply flip off the wealthy snippets till we’re certain that we are able to belief them.”
And here’s what Danny Sullivan mentioned a couple of days in the past on Twitter, “It is attainable {that a} guide motion involving structured information would possibly merely take away eligibility to have that seem. However it’s attainable it may very well be seen as a broader spam guide motion that includes rating.”

Danny then added “Normally, it is most likely helpful to have a reset right here. We do not say that structured information is a rating issue, as a result of it is designed primarily for wealthy snippets — actually a show factor, if content material is deemed eligible for it to be supported. In distinction, we’ve got quite a lot of *insurance policies and* that may doubtlessly contain rating if violated. The assistance web page is speaking about these *insurance policies* within the dialogue about rating.”

So possibly it isn’t the wealthy outcomes guide motion inflicting the rating decline however for the reason that website did get a wealthy outcomes guide motion, then possibly it additionally bought flagged for different coverage violations leading to a rating decline?

However should you’ve been spammy there, possibly you’ve got been spammy elsewhere which might produce — as our docs clarify — robotically rating points or guide motion.

I imply it is “Extra on why Google structured information guide actions that result in a lack of eligibility for wealthy outcomes might imply you are individually doing issues in opposition to its spam insurance policies which may produce rating adjustments.”
