If we don&#8217;t find any markup, we&#8217;ll show<br \/>\n  them a Google search results page for the corresponding <code>site:<\/code> query, as we&#8217;ve done<br \/>\n  until now.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  As always, if you have questions, you can ask in our<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/go\/community\" class=\"external-link\">Webmaster Help forum<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<aside class=\"note\">\n<p>\n    <b>Update (16:30h CET, September 12th)<\/b>: We&#8217;re noticing an enthusiastic uptick in the markup<br \/>\n    implementation after the initial announcement last week!
