A new article on Search Engine Journal reports that Google's John Mueller just addressed multiple points about structured data and how the search engine giant uses it.
The Google man's insightful comments arrived during a Twitter conversation about structured data and how that gets used by Google. His comments touch upon the relevance of structured data to Google in terms of it being a signal. The whole exchange came about because of what seemed like a contradiction in part of a recent article. That related to the 'fact' that Google doesn't read unsupported structured data.
