How difficult is schema.org markup
-
We have an e-commerce website and we are looking to get the Schema.org markup on our site, especially for our products to increase CTR and help with rankings as this will help Google understand our pages better.
We have had two quotes from separate companies, one £100.00 and the other almost £600.00
I'm just curious how much work is involved as we don't want to get scammed for something that takes less than an hour to implement.

Hi Alan,
I totally agree with you about the ease of editing a hand made website if they're build the right way (so the developer knows were to look).
My point is mainly about code quality, if it's all spaghetti I think the price quota can be higher then with a CMS system.Just wanted to clear that up.

I don't quite agree with Bob. If you have a hand made site it is easy to implement schema.org, but if you have a cms it varies, I know some cms have implemented schema.org and in that case its quite easy, if they haven't it may be hard to edit for a number of reasons.
but I always think you can do a lot more if your site is hand made where you have full control. -
Hi Bob,
It is a bespoke e-commerce website that is powered through Magento. So it's not a template. I thought £600.00 was overpriced and now I'm positive that it's not worth that amount of money, I will ask the company why they've quoted this much and ask for an amount of hours for the job. Cheers

Hi Joshua,
I think it’s important to know what system you’re using. If it’s all custom made and the webdeveloper needs to “get into” your code it will probably cost a bit more then when you’re using generic systems like Magento or WooCommerce.
I’m not a developer, but my companion normally fixes these things within a few hours. A quote between 100- 200 sounds reasonable since it’s just adding pieces of code on the right spot.

Thanks Patrick, that helps. Cheers

Hi there
If your site is on a template and you want to mark up product pages, it's not that difficult at all - it's just a matter of adding to the template.
I would have your web development teams walk through the process however and how many hours they think it would take.
I am not a web developer, but the product Schema I have added to ecommerce sites, as well as other sites, is not that bad of an implementation, but I don't know your website.
But again, have them break down their prices and processes and why they think the price is what it is. Price wise - the £100.00 sounds better, but again, there is some technical know how so you want to vet them properly.
Hope this helps a bit! Good luck!

JSON-LD product page markup for multiple currencies?
I haven't found a working example of a single product page with one "Offer" in multiple "priceCurrency" and "price" We have product pages with a single product URL which will offer different prices in different currencies based on the user's IP. Some of the language of the page will be translated based on the IP (this will have href lang tag) but the URL will not change. (We're aware TLD is considered best practice, however, this is not an option at this time.) Is the best option to update the markup based on what the corresponding "country"? I'm uncertain how this may be handled by crawlers. Eg, For the product page https://www.example.com/product1 displaying USD "offers": {
Web Design | | sb1030
"@type": "Offer",
"url": "https://www.example.com/product1",
"itemCondition": "https://schema.org/NewCondition",
"availability": "InStock",
"priceCurrency": "USD",
"price": "7.99"} For the product pagehttps://www.example.com/product1 displaying EUR "offers": {
"@type": "Offer",
"url": "https://www.example.com/product1",
"itemCondition": "https://schema.org/NewCondition",
"availability": "InStock",
"priceCurrency": "EUR",
"price": "7.50"} Thanks for any input.0 -
What is the best markup for testimonials?
These are testimonials that our staff have collected themselves, so I'm unsure about using a block quote and citing a source, since these testimonials are original content, not references from another website. I just need to place the quote, the author's name, and, in some cases, the author's city. Any recommendations?

Has anyone added Structured Data Markup Server Side?
I want to add some structured data to our companies website via microdata through schema.org. I have been asked to gather all of the requirements so that it can be done server side and automated when things change. I honestly don't know where to begin as there are many areas where it can be added. Has anyone done this server side before?

Multiple Local Schemas Per Page
I am working on a mid size restaurant groups site. The new site (in development) has a drop down of each of the locations. When you hover over a location in the drop down it shows the businesses info (NAP). Each of the location in the Nav list are using schema.org markup. I think this would be confusing for search robots. Every page has 15 address schemas and individual restaurants pages NAP is at the below all the locations' schema/NAP in the DOM. Have any of you dealt with multiple schemas per page or similar structure?

Schema.org - Right way to mark the pages
Dear all, Almost since we started designing our site, we are using schema microdata. It is not only because of the rich snippets, but because I want the search engines to better understand what we have. For example, the +1 buttom would not work properly without schema microdata, because it kind of ignores the OpenGraph parameters that specified image and description; and since we are a (very small) local bussiness directory (between other things), all our clients have a hand written schema complient description on their lisings, including address, opening ours, telephone number, description, etc. It is hand written by us because the tools avialable are simply not good enough to cover all different scenarios that a listing can present. I have not use, until today, a proper for the homepage, and it is probably the cause that our page lost the nice links below the site description in the google snippet. I did not place it on the body tag, but near the description, closing it inmediately after the description finishs. Now this is solved and we will wait to see if the links come back in the next weeks. Now to the question. Our site has three sections, with three different systems installed, two running wordpress and a third running another script. the main site is the local bussiness directory. The front page is mark as "schema.org/WepPage", and I do not know how to mark the other pages of the main site. I was thinking of marking the listings as "schema.org/ItemPage" since they are related to specific clients. Would you consired it to be right? Then, we have landing pages for the categories, should they be mark as WepPage, or as an Article, or something else? Many thanks in advance for your help, Best Regards, Daniel

.org versus .com
I work at a non-profit that has always used the .org URL for any sites they create. I am designing a site right now with a heavy weight on SEO as part of the strategy and I have both the .org and .com versions of the URL. Am I right in thinking that I should use the .com?
