Dear Mozzers,
We have implemented schema.org on our website and it's showing up as being correct.
However, I've been told by a SEO company that what we have done is incorrect and is therefore giving out wrong signals to google and that it needs fixing but they haven't told me whats wrong with it.
Would someone please be able to have to have a quick scan and highlight anything that is not correct. I have enclosed 4 urls belows of the different sections of my website.
My website homepage - is -- http://goo.gl/2F80w2
We have a number of branches- An example branch url is - http://goo.gl/8FpcaS
example category url - http://goo.gl/gbAaD2
example product url - http://goo.gl/EXI1Sr
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks

Hi Peter
Can only agree with Dirk on this, I have only ever seen the markup in one area when it has been implemented using JSON-LD, we did recently do some markup for a client using Magento which uses a third party search system.
We implemented the code in the normal manner which shows up in the html blocks as Dirk mentioned this was rewritten by the 3rd party search system to use JSON-LD and the code was then all in a nice neat block. But I have never heard of this being a requirement.

Some outstanding examples can be found here
https://builtvisible.com/micro-data-schema-org-guide-generating-rich-snippets/
Then test your own site and other sites that you know will have proper implementation using
https://www.deepcrawl.com/knowledge/best-practice/schema-101-the-tags-that-search-engines-support/
THE REGEXES:
Use the pre-written regex below to extract your site’s schema tags.
MICRODATA ONLY:
microdata:(itemtype=["']http\:\/\/schema.org) microdata-itemtype:{0..9}itemtype\s?=['"\s]?http\:\/\/schema.org\/([^\"\s\']*)
RDFA ONLY:
rdfa:(vocab=['"]http:\/\/schema.org\/['"]) rdfa-typeof:{0..9}typeof=['"]([^"']*)"
JSON ONLY:
json-ld:(

If the markup passes the test it's valid markup & meets Google's guidelines. It would seem a bit ridiculous for Google to develop a test if the results of the test were not valid.
Never heard that markup needs to be put in one place. Most of the time the markup is inserted within your HTML so you will have several blocks of markup (unless you use the JSON-LD markup).

Many thanks Both,
The SEO company got back to me and implied that as my webpages contain contains several blocks of markup , the first issue is that they need to be condensed into one set of markup for each page.
The also said, it was to basic and not extensive enough and even though Google's testing tool does not indicate any errors does not necessarily mean that the markup is correct or that it meets Google's guidelines.
Do you know if they have a point about the single markup as opposed to several blocks of markup per page as I have never heard that point mentioned before?
thanks

I have checked all of the urls that you have added in your question above and I can confirm that they are all clean and green according to the Structured Data Testing Tool as highlighted by Dirk above https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ so not sure what the SEO Company is looking at.

Hi
You can check the implementation in Webmastertools https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ - or in a tool like https://webmaster.yandex.com/microtest.xml
I checked a branch page - for Yandex some of the fields are not correct (url / local address / local phone missing) - but most of it seems ok. For Google everything was ok.
You could check the other pages as well using these tools.

Google's Geo Search Setting Gone Cuckoo!
Hey Everybody! I thought I'd post about this because pretty much all of our members who do Local SEO are bound to run into this. Last week, when I was in the middle of training someone, I ran into something bizarre. Using Google's search settings to set my location to a remote locale, the local packs were returning me results for the correct city, but the organic results accompanying the pack were showing me results that appeared to be based on my own IP address instead ... in other words, Google was overriding my designated geolocation in favor of where it knows I'm actually located. I was relieved to see Mike Blumenthal post on this (helped me realize I wasn't going crazy - haha) and I recommend that everyone who does Local for a living take a look: http://blumenthals.com/blog/2015/05/24/google-location-results-still-screwy/ I also recommend checking out this G+ convo going on between John Mueller and others: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+TerrySimmonds/posts/1BZ6guvy9mE John's initial thought was that nothing has changed ... but something has definitely changed. Do some of your own searches and see what you come up with. Main takeaway here is that if you are trying to approximate clients' rankings in cities not your own, the results you are seeing may be very weird right now. Not sure if this is a temporary glitch or the forerunner to some change coming our way. This is a story to stay on top of, for sure. What do you you all see?

Google's rel=publisher tag question
Hi, i have a question about the use of rel=publisher tag on a large retail website with multiple local stores. There is 1 e-commerce website where i want to put the rel publisher tag from the main Google + businesspage. There are also 60 local google+businesspages, And on the main website every store has his own store-page. Is it good to put on all the 60 storepages their own rel=publishertag connected with the localbusinesspages on google? Or should i Stick at the main rel=publisher tag connected with the main google+page? Thanx, Leonie

Im a big fan of niche web develop/seo companies. I was wondering how many clients can you ethically take on in the same field, located in the same city
How do niche web development companies justify having multiple clients in the same field in the same cities. I would love an explanation on how to justify this, and how many clients in the same field/same city is acceptable. A good example would be an seo company for auto dealers or hotels. Thanks
