"Google updated its spam policies to say it also applies to Google's AI responses in Search."
"Google Search drops FAQ rich results from the search results completely."
"A new study says schema does not influence AI citations."

Google introduced spam policy coverage for AI responses in Search, and Google Search removed FAQ rich results from search results. Google Discover performance reporting is missing data for May 7 and May 8, while publisher pages are testing new links and featured posts. Bing Webmaster Tools no longer distinguishes between HTTP and HTTPS. A study found schema does not influence AI citations. Google Ads previewed AI-powered dashboards, improved search terms reporting as an approximation of user intent, and added help documentation for site visit assets.
