      Hi,

      I’m looking  to add Schema markup to my company pages’s webinar page (recording past webinars) and data sheets, infographics, product videos, eBooks/white papers. For eBooks, I am primarily referring to a landing page with a gate to download a PDF document.

      I’m trying to determine the best markup type:

      For Webinars, I’ve seen suggestions to use “Event” type but that seems appropriate for future events, not something like a recorded webinar, which is not time-sensitive, unlike a live event. However, I see a StackOverflow forum to use http://schema.org/recordedIn for recorded webinars.

      For eBooks and White Papers, I see a few potential schema types:

      https://schema.org/DigitalDocument

      https://schema.org/CreativeWork

      http://schema.org/EBook (or https://schema.org/Book and then book format type of Ebook)

        I will create the schema for my movies website. I will create the Movie rating schema, Article schema and some more schemas that is need to my website.
        <script type="application/ld+json">
        {
        "@context": "https://schema.org",
        "@type": "Movie",
        "actor": [
        {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Johnny Depp"
        },
        {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Penelope Cruz"
        },
        {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Ian McShane"
        }
        ],
        "aggregateRating": {
        "@type": "AggregateRating",
        "bestRating": "10",
        "ratingCount": "200",
        "ratingValue": "8",
        "reviewCount": "50"
        },
        "author": [
        {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Ted Elliott"
        },
        {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Terry Rossio"
        }
        ],
        "description": "Jack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.",
        "director": {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Rob Marshall"
        },
        "name": "Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides (2011)"
        }
        </script>
        This schema is help me to index my website fastly.

          @WhiteHat1 Hey there! For a webinar, the most appropriate schema would be a combination of Event and OnDemandEvent due to its online nature. However, as of my last update, OnDemandEvent was more suitable for an event like a movie or TV show that is available for streaming whenever you want to watch it, rather than a live webinar that takes place at a specific time.

          For most live webinars, you should use the Event type with an eventAttendanceMode property set to OnlineEventAttendanceMode. The VirtualLocation type would also be used instead of a physical address.

          Here's an example of what that schema might look like:

          <script type="application/ld+json">
          {
          "@context": "https://schema.org",
          "@type": "Event",
          "name": "Interactive Webinar on Data Science",
          "description": "Join our expert panel as they delve into the latest trends in Data Science. This webinar will cover a range of topics from predictive analytics to deep learning.",
          "startDate": "2023-12-01T18:00:00+00:00",
          "endDate": "2023-12-01T19:30:00+00:00",
          "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OnlineEventAttendanceMode",
          "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled",
          "location": {
          "@type": "VirtualLocation",
          "url": "https://www.webinarhost.com/event123"
          },
          "image": "https://www.webinarhost.com/images/event123_banner.jpg",
          "organizer": {
          "@type": "Organization",
          "name": "Data Science Community Forum",
          "url": "https://www.datascienceforum.org"
          },
          "performer": {
          "@type": "Person",
          "name": "Dr. Jane Doe",
          "url": "https://www.datascienceforum.org/speakers#JaneDoe"
          },
          "offers": {
          "@type": "Offer",
          "url": "https://www.webinarhost.com/register/event123",
          "price": "0",
          "priceCurrency": "USD",
          "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock",
          "validFrom": "2023-11-01T09:00:00+00:00"
          },
          "audience": {
          "@type": "EducationalAudience",
          "audienceType": "Professional"
          },
          "recordedIn": {
          "@type": "CreativeWork",
          "name": "Data Science Webinar Series"
          }
          }
          </script>

          Some points to consider:

          eventAttendanceMode: Specifies that the event is an online event.
          location: Uses VirtualLocation with a url property to indicate where the webinar can be accessed.
          offers: Contains details about the registration or ticketing, which in this case indicates a free event.
          recordedIn: If the webinar is part of a series, you might include this to reference the series.
          Make sure to validate your structured data using Google's Rich Results Test or similar tools to check for any errors or warnings that might affect how search engines interpret and display your content.

          I really hope that this helps!

            What to do with sold product pages when everything you sell are unique one off items

            Hi there, This is something i have been unsure of for years. It's a little different to most ecom website  situations. What would you do with product pages when every product is a "one off" unique product and once sold will never be for sale again? Should i redirect to a category page? 404? Leave it as is marked as sold or say it is sold and show links to similar items? At the moment we have 700 products for sale but over 5000 sold products that have their own product page and my concern is as this grows it could become a lot for a WordPress woocommerce site to handle? I don't want to do anything to slow my site down or unnecessarily bloat it but i want to do the right thing by the visitor and also not do anything to hurt my rankings. These pages often rank in google and may have been there for years before the item actually sells. To throw another curve ball, there may be multiple other products (for sale or already sold) with the exact same name but are unique and different from each other. These products pages will often be 98% the same content as each other too. To explain how this could be the case, we sell artworks from many different artists, Every artwork is an original and is unique. But many artists paint the same subject matter multiple times, albeit in a slightly different way from previous times. So you end up with a unique product that has everything the same as another (same artist, same name of artwork, same size, same description, different image, different sku)  but is actually different and unique. This has left me somewhat uncertain of what is best to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

            How does product category description affect SEO?

            Hi - we are a website that sells tours. We have category pages that list the tours in that category (by city, by length of time, theme, etc). At the top of each category page, before the buttons linking to the tours, there is a category description. It is a pretty long paragraph. We are redesigning the website and think it would look nicer to show 2-3 lines of text and then have a down arrow and 'read' more so people can click and it would expand to show the full category description if they want to read it and it won't take up so much room that way. My question is - will this affect SEA at all? Or because the text is still there, just hidden, it won't do anything? Our site ranks very high in organic searches on google and we do not want to do anything that will hurt SEO. thanks.

            Video titles and descriptions

            Hi everyone, I have a question about embedding videos on a website: if you optimize the title and description for the video in Youtube, will these be taken into account for the ranking of the page where the video is embedded? Or will only the Youtube link for the video show in SERP's, instead of the page itself? I've read in a post of Phil Nottingham that it's usually not a good idea to embed a Youtube video on your own site, but use Wistia instead, exactly to avoid cannibalisation of your own rankings. Is this correct? Thanks!

            Schema markup concerning category pages on an ecommerce site

            We are adding json+ld data to an ecommerce site and myself and one of the other people working on the site are having a minor disagreement on things. What it comes down to is how to mark up the category page. One of us says it needs to be marked up with as an Itempage, https://schema.org/ItemPage  The other says it needs to be marked up as products, with multiple product instances in the schema, https://schema.org/Product The main sticking point on the Itemlist is that Itemlist is a child of intangible, so there is a feeling that should be used for things like track listings or other arbitrary data.

            Should I use https schema markup after http-https migration?

            Dear Moz community, Noticed that several groups of websites after HTTP -> HTTPS migration update their schema markup from, example : {
            "@context": "http://schema.org",
            "@type": "WebSite",
            "name": "Your WebSite Name",
            "alternateName": "An alternative name for your WebSite",
            "url": "http://www.your-site.com"
            } becomes {
            "@context": "https://schema.org",
            "@type": "WebSite",
            "name": "Your WebSite Name",
            "alternateName": "An alternative name for your WebSite",
            "url": "https://www.example.com"
            } Interesting to know, because Moz website is on https protocol but uses http version of markup. Looking forward for answers 🙂

            Benefits of Rich Snippets for financial products

            Does anyone have experience of using rich snippets for non-physical products? Our website offers credit cards comparison service. Do you think that tagging each card's page with rich snippets such as credit card image, name, description and category makes sense? The idea is to make it stand out in the search results.

            Add Videos Above or Below the Fold?

            We are considering adding videos to thousands of article pages, and were wondering if it would be better to add video above or below the fold? They take up quite a bit of space, and push the article content below the fold--would this hurt us?
