Since 2013, Google has supported logo structured data, which recognizes two Organization fields: logo and url. Today we're expanding our support for organizational information by extracting additional administrative data such as name, address, contact information, and various business identifiers.

This data can appear in the course info rich result, which is a new carousel feature in Google Search that helps learners discover and compare courses that fit their unique needs.

Google Search regularly updates our search ranking systems to ensure we're showing the most relevant, helpful content that we can. We've had a series of notable updates we've shared about in the past few weeks, and we have two for this month.
