Google Search Console Pitfalls & Critical Warnings
Avoid these 3 common validation traps, parser errors, and algorithmic policy penalties when deploying SoftwareApplication schema.
Omitting Exact CPU Architecture Support
Listing 'macOS' without specifying Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) vs Intel x86 binary support.
Explicitly declare 'macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel)'.
Dead or Expired Binary downloadUrl
Serving 404 on direct installer download link.
Verify installer CDN links are active and signed.
Missing memoryRequirements on Heavy Desktop Apps
Failing to state RAM requirements on high-resource software tools.
Include memoryRequirements.
