HowTo Schema

HowTo describes sequential guides such as assembly instructions, non-recipe DIY tasks and software installation. Each HowToStep can include text and supporting image or video information. This remains useful semantic markup for compatible systems. The source describes mobile Google HowTo results as still active after a desktop reduction in 2023; Google actually discontinued HowTo rich results in 2023, so this markup should not be presented as a current route to those cards.

Business applications and impact#

Helps compatible systems interpret procedural guides, but no longer provides eligibility for Google’s discontinued HowTo rich results.

Implementation guidance and considerations#

Describe each step and its supporting media clearly and avoid inserting advertising in place of instructions.
