Tutorial wording was detected in the sampled HTML without HowTo JSON-LD. This is an optional descriptive markup observation, not a demonstrated website defect. Google deprecated HowTo rich results in September 2023. This audit does not establish an AI citation, ranking or traffic benefit from adding HowTo markup. Its absence does not reduce the audit score. No change is required for Google rich-result eligibility. Add accurate HowTo markup only when a specific consuming application needs it; keep instructions accessible as ordinary page content.
