Structured Data in Google Webmaster Tools

[prsntsnh]

Have noticed a significant drop in structured data items and pages on GWT in the last one week. We have not made any changes and can still see that we have the rich snippet implementation in place across our site. Has anyone else noticed this drop? What could be possible reasons for the same?

On 8th July we had 646,801 items showing up on Structured Data, which dropped to 227,529 on 11th July and 66,161 on 14th July 2014!!

TIA

Hi Asif,

I'm seeing the same thing, at least a drop that big. I suspect it's a bug in or showing the structured data or something else as we didn't change anything either on the site. There have been data reporting bugs before in GWT, so it's likely that there is another one this time.

Go through and see if the data is displaying one some of those pages. If it is, you are most likely seeing an error in the testing tools. I don't think Google is as set up for large sites as they claim to be.

Hi David,

I have used the Structured Data testing tool and can see that the structured data is correct and showing up properly. The issue is that we have made NO changes to the structured data and yet we see a large drop in these pages being recognized by Google over the last one week! We do not see any Errors in the GWT structured data section as well!

Hi Martin,

Thankfully the issue in GWT seems to be sorted out! I can see that the number of items and pages is back to where it was before the huge drop last week!

TIA

Yups, seeing the same thing in our Google Webmaster Tools accounts.
