Google’s John Mueller said in a Google webmaster hangout video at the 34:30 mark that he believes implementing schema markup for rich results won’t be getting any easier. In fact, he said over the next few years he feels it will continue to get harder and more complicated.

John said “I think in the future, at least in a near-term future, we will have more types of structured data markup and it will continue to to get more complicated probably.” Later on in the video he said “But purely from a markup point of view, I don’t see this getting any easier unfortunately.”

Why? He said Google will continue to add more types of structured data markup and schema support for new ways to make your site richer in Google search and Google Assistant.
