Rich card formatting for events
-
Hi all,
I'm having trouble with getting Rich Cards to show for my site and am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Here’s an example for Louis CK. His bio is pulled from Wikipedia, but the tour dates are drawn from elsewhere. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=louis+ck
I coded in a basic card for one of our events and nothing showed up (several weeks ago at this point so not just a crawl issue), and never registered with Google Webmaster.
Honestly, I haven’t seen an example of an endurance event using a card. Sports-wise I’ve only seen them for major sports teams, but I’m hoping we can take advantage of it somehow.
When submitting a search query on Google, once you add any event name beside Vermont, our business card doesn’t display (we’re based in Vermont), so it would be great to have something that can show up for each event.
We also can’t get our social profiles to show up in our business card, after adding the code for Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus. I’m wondering if that’s partially because our social accounts are named Wrenegade Sports when everything else is Farm to Fork Fondo. (Not personally a proponent of that name difference and I suspect it hurts us).
Thanks!

Howdy.
So, I bet you've seen this page before - https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/events If you haven't, check it out.
Another step - "register" with Google Search Console. And after you apply all the schema markup, test it with google structured tool. That and the GSC will tell you if something is wrong.
Another important thing to consider - schema is only a suggestion to google. If you have all the data 100% right, it doesn't necessarily mean that the rich snippets will show up. All we can do is make sure it's right, submit to google and hope for the best

Google My Business search results for multiple listings
I am wondering how people set up their Google My Business listings to appear in the search results similar to this business, Hulme Orthodontics. I attached an image below that'll give more details. I am working with a client that has two locations similar in distance to Hulme Orthodontics, and I have tried everything and have come up with no answers as to how I can properly get Google to format the search results in this way. I assume that there is no actual way to manage this and that Google decides this on their own. However, if anyone has any insight regarding this manner, that would be much appreciated! Thank you for your help! UsEr3rK

Local Recreational Marijuana Dispensaries Disappearing from Google Maps when Plurals used.
This is the second time I have posted this question and never got a satisfactory result. I have an SEO client in Tacoma Wa and when you type (Dispensaries Near Tacoma they are in the Top 3 snack pack and the Google maps shows 20 other similar businesses. However, when you search (Dispensary Near Tacoma) only 3 or 5 recreational marijuana shops show up and my client disappears. Someone earlier suggested it could be because of the categories selection, but that can't affect ALL the other shops and like I said it happens in other cities. for example Dispensary Near Olympia vs Dispensaries Near Olympia. I have the full write up and pictures and diagrams on my blog. Please HELP! This could affect your future clients also. https://isenselogic.com/local-business-disappearing-on-google-maps-when-plurals-used/

Website won't rank in home country (but does in others).
I have a bit of an odd scenario for you. I'm working with a content marketing company based in Sydney, AU**.** Oddly, this web property ranks for almost 4x as many keywordsin the US than the AU. (See attached). It also ranks much more favorably for target keywords in NZ. This is despite having an AU ccTLD, proper geolocation targeting in GSC, and Google My Business and other NAP citations pointing towards an AU address. To add to this geo-targeting issue, the site has absolutely bombed in search visibility over the past year. We are talking more than halving our search exposure. **What's been done: ** Sitemap created and submitted. All versions of GSC created and verified. New site structure for top level landing pages. Redirects okay. Internal link structure okay. Robots.txt and other indexing issues fine. Google My Business fixed (Incorrect NAP previously). No duped content. No known penalties Site crawl - no major issues. html lang changed from "en-US" to "en-AU". Reduced load speed by over 100%. Fixed an issue with Yoast creating duped pages for media files (same title tags on orphaned pages). Currently auditing and working through citations. Removed .js banner causing indexing issues. Removed a sitewide footer link from an external site, sending 20k inbound links w/same anchor. http --> https redirects okay. Title tags structured properly, and targeting well-researched KWs. **Despite these necessary corrections, I haven't seen a blip of life. ** TL;DR, Poor visibility in general, especially over the past year. More favorable rankings in foreign search (not AU). Stumped! H8i2D9u AGBvD3q eM4nwTV

Had a local SEO client completely drop off in all rankings...?
Hey everyone! I wanted to ask the Moz community on what I should be on the lookout for in this situation; I have a local SEO client, an orthopedic clinic, who out of nowhere completely dropped off the map. Their Search Visibility is now at .001%. I really have no idea what would have caused this... I have dozens of other local SEO clients and have never seen this before.

Can you manage multiple department store hours showing up in a GMB knowledge card?
Recently one our clients noticed that their GMB knowledge card is showing multiple opening hour sets for different departments. Is there anyway to directly influence these results? We know schematic markup helps but are there any other options to manage these different department hours? Thanks
