We're changing our name

In brainstorming our new name, we realized that there's not one term that perfectly summarizes the work people do on websites. To focus more on the topic that we talk about (Google Search), we're changing our name from "Google Webmasters Central" to "Google Search Central", both on our websites and on social media. Our goal is still the same; we aim to help people improve the visibility of their website on Google Search.The change will happen on most platforms in the next couple days.

Goodbye Google Webmasters, hello Google Search Central

New blog: Search & SEO Blog | Google Search Central | Google Search Central Blog

To better support open standards and development experience, we're refocusing the Structured Data Testing Tool and migrating it to a new domain serving the schema.org community by April 2021. The main purpose of the tool will be to check syntax and compliance of markup with schema.org standards. Going forward however, the tool will no longer check for Google Search rich result types. To test your markup for Google Search rich result types, you can continue to use the Rich Results Test.
