Google’s Danny Sullivan stated that not solely can a wealthy consequence handbook motion consequence within the removing of your wealthy outcomes from displaying in Google Search but additionally it might probably result in a wider “broader spam handbook motion that includes rating.”
Only for some historical past, in 2015 John Mueller of Google stated a wealthy outcomes handbook motion would solely result in a web site’s wealthy outcomes being illegible (eliminated) from displaying in Google Search. He stated it could not end in a web site having a rating decline due to a wealthy consequence handbook motion.
So it is a little bit of a change in what the messaging is round this, or is it?
In 2015 John stated “Wealthy snippet themselves don’t provide you with rating boosts. So it could’t sort of make sense to demote a web site in rankings if they’re doing one thing mistaken with wealthy snippets. So primarily we simply flip off the wealthy snippets till we’re certain that we will belief them.”
And here’s what Danny Sullivan stated just a few days in the past on Twitter, “It is potential {that a} handbook motion involving structured knowledge may merely take away eligibility to have that seem. However it’s potential it might be seen as a broader spam handbook motion that includes rating.”

So perhaps it isn’t the wealthy outcomes handbook motion inflicting the rating decline however for the reason that web site did get a wealthy outcomes handbook motion, then perhaps it additionally received flagged for different coverage violations leading to a rating decline?
