New Schema.org support for retailer shipping data

 Quick summary: Starting today, we support shippingDetails schema.org markup as an alternative way for retailers to be eligible for shipping details in Google Search results.

Since June 2020, retailers have been able to list their products across different Google surfaces for free, including on Google Search. We are committed to supporting ways for the ecosystem to better connect with users that come to Google to look for the best products, brands, and retailers by investing both in more robust tooling in Google Merchant Center as well as with new kinds of schema.org options.

Shipping details, including cost and expected delivery times, are often a key consideration for users making purchase decisions. In our own studies, we’ve heard that users abandon shopping checkouts because of unforeseen or uncertain shipping costs. This is why we will often show shipping cost information in certain result types, including on free listings on Google Search (currently in the US, in English only).

Shipping details in Search results

Retailers have always been able to configure shipping settings in Google Merchant Center in order to display this information in listings. Starting today, we now also support the shippingDetails schema.org markup type for retailers who don't have active Merchant Center accounts with product feeds.

For retailers that are interested in this new markup, check out our documentation to get started.

Googlebot will soon speak HTTP/2

  Quick summary: Starting November 2020, Googlebot will start crawling some sites over HTTP/2. Ever since mainstream browsers started supporting the next major revision of HTTP,  HTTP/2 or h2  for short, web professionals  asked us  whether Googlebot can crawl over the upgraded, more modern version of the protocol. Today we're announcing that starting mid November 2020, Googlebot will support crawling over HTTP/2 for select sites. What is HTTP/2 As we said, it's the next  major version of HTTP , the protocol the internet primarily uses for transferring data. HTTP/2 is much more robust, efficient, and faster than its predecessor, due to its architecture and the features it implements for clients (for example, your browser) and servers. If you want to read more about it, we have a long article on the  HTTP/2 topic on developers.google.com . Why we're making this change In general, we expect this change to make crawling more efficient in terms of server r...
