Product Schema Markup for All Products
-
Hi Team,
Google search console used to allow you to use their structured data markup helperhttps://www.google.com/webmasters/markup-helper/u/0/ to markup multiple product pages at once that were similar. I do not see this feature anymore with the new search console. Does anyone have a recommendation for marking up multiple product pages without having to have schema markup firing in GTM for each product page?

thanks for the schema code .
I already try with my personal website .please have a look at the code seo company in dubai

It is a AspDotNetStorefront E-commerce CMS. These developer tools are helpful. I have looked into the dynamic schema markup blog, but am not sure it is the best to implement this if there are a lot of products. I might also consider trying to have a developer implement article markup for a drupal site. This has been helpful thank you.

I agree what is storefront I can't find a CMS called storefront?
If Schema markup is being added to a brand new site, it’s much easier for developers to add the Schema as part of the site build, as opposed to layering it on after the website has already been coded. Developers benefit from SEOs telling them specifically which page elements require Schema (location, events, etc.) and a link to the respective Schema type on Schema.org, so the developer can figure out the best approach for implementation.
SEOs have largely taken ownership of writing JSON-LD themselves, which is great for speeding up the process of implementing Schema. JSON-LD is generally easiest for developers to implement, but adding inline Schema is usually simple as well. There are some plugins that can assist with the implementation, but they generally only support basic Schema types, such as the Website or Organization.
One way:

You can use Cloudflare

I hope I have been of help,

Thank you Tom,
We are on storefront currently. We had previously used the schema markup tool for some of their products. I have used Google markup helper and technicalseo.com resources before to create JSON-LD to fire in GTM for blogs, vidoes, how-to pages, etc but not for product pages. Mostly because I agree that it can be done in a better way. Maybe consulting with a developer to implement product markup is best.

HI
Can I ask what platform you are using? If you're using an e-commerce platform like Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, etc. There are simple ways of writing code that will do a better job as well as plug-ins that you can purchase and/or use for free.
Or if in the unlikely event you are just running an E-commerce website without a CMS you can still do this via coding. there is a method no matter what flavor of kosher using rather it be Ruby, PHP NodeJS, etc.
FYI
Google does NOT recommend Using Tag Manager to Implement Schema Markup.
John Mueller from Google advises against using Google Tag Manager to deploy Structured Data and mentions that the ideal solution is to add the structured data directly into the HTML. So ideally process it server-side and pass it via HTML instead of relying on a client-side solution like Javascript.
While this is not the ideal solution, as SEOs we know that we are not always in ideal situations and at times our best bet is to deploy it through a solution like Google Tag Manager. You could also look at deploying it via an Edge Computing Solution like Cloudflare Workers.
https://www.cloudflare.com/en-au/products/cloudflare-workers/
It is less than ideal to use Google tag manager to deploy JSON-LD to websites. It can be done but obviously it's not the best way.
just because it's not on the new search console yet does not mean that Google's structured data markup helper tool is obsolete.

Technical SEO | | JoeySolicitor
As this schema is generated by Yoast plugin, I haven't applied any custom steps. Recently I published a post https://dailycontributors.com/kisscartoon-alternatives-and-complete-review/ and I tested it at two platforms of schema test 1, Validator.Schema.org
2. Search.google.com/test/rich-results So the validator generate results as follows and shows no error
Schema without error.PNG It shows no error But where as Schema with error.PNG in search central results it gives me a warning "Missing field "url" (optional)". So is this really be going to issue for my ranking ? Please help thanks!6 -
Introduce customer reviews and ratings onto our product pages
Hi, I'm looking to introduce historical customer reviews onto our product pages but i want an opinion on whether a product page that's indexed will jump from 0 reviews to possible 30+, what if any problems that could arise from this.. For a bit of background, we've been collecting customer reviews/ratings since 2015 on our internal system. I'm only looking to start using feedback from 2020 onwards. The current set up is that the product page will display the latest 30 reviews, on the same page is a link that will take the user to another page where they can review all the customer feedback. I'm using Google Schema to markup the text to ensure it is firstly understood by google and displays correctly too. So back to my original question. Will an e-commerce product page that currently has no customer reviews that is indexed, been seen differently if when the next time it's crawled its found to have, say 30+ reviews? Are there any implications this way? What's your experience? I look forward to reading your feedback.

Is there any benefit or negative impact to including schema for both @type WebPage and NewsArticle on the same page?
Is there any benefit or negative impact to including schema for both @type WebPage and NewsArticle on the same page? The websites I work on are editorial news sites. Our CMS automatically outputs WebPage schema to every article we publish. I want my dev to set up auto-generated NewsArticle schema. The are pretty much identical with a few different attributes. I just want to make sure I make the right choice about adding both or removing one.

Truncated product names
Due to the restraints of category page layout many of the products in certain categories have the product titles truncated, in some cases missing off 2-5 words depending on the product in question. The product name which displays on the category page is lifted straight from the product page itself, so not possible to do something like "product name including spec..." to place ... to indicate a bit more. I'm assuming not but just wanted to check that Google will not frown on this. Text is not being hidden it just does not render fully in the restricted space. So there is a scenario of 'bits of' text in the source not displaying on the rendered page.

Schema markup for Webinars
I'm looking for a solution to implement schema markup for our webinars. We have an events page that has a list of upcoming events, as well as a list of the webinars we've done with a link to YouTube to watch the webinar. The webinars on our events page have the title and date. What kind of schema markup can we implement for these past events? It is not really an event, but it's not a video either (unless we embed the video on our site). Any tips? (**Also, I would like to use JSON-LD instead of HTML to implement the schema). Thanks!

Does adding subcategory pages to an commerce site limit the link juice to the product pages?
I have a client who has an online outdoor gear company. He mostly sells high end outdoor gear (like ski jackets, vests, boots, etc) at a deep discount. His store currently only resides on Ebay. So we're building him an online store from scratch. I'm trying to determine the best site architecture and wonder if we should include subcategory pages. My issue is that I think the subcategory pages might be good from a user experience, but it'll add an additional layer between the homepage and the product pages. The problem is that I think a lot of user's might be searching for the product name to see if they can find a better deal, and my client's site would be perfect for them. So I really want to rank well for the product pages, but I'm nervous that the subcategory pages will limit the link juice of the product pages. Home --> SubCategory --> Product List --> Product Detail Home --> Men's Ski Clothing --> Men's Ski Jack --> North Face Mt Everest Jacket Should I keep the SubCategory page "Men's Ski Clothing" if it helps usability? On a separate note, the SubCategory pages would have some head keyword terms, but I don't think that he could rank well for these terms anytime soon. However, they would be great pages / terms to rank for in the long term. Should this influence the decision?

Schema.org implementation for physician's office vs physician herself?
Hi, Regarding schema.org microdata, which page(s) should have the microdata? 1) http://schema.org/Physician -- appears to be about the office. Since we have all of the contact/address info in the footer on each page, should we do the same with microdata? I can't seem to find a suggested implementation on schema.org Assuming an office has multiple MDs, how should the docs be listed since the physician schema appears to be for the office, not for the individual doctors? Thanks for any insight!

Long tail keywords and duplicate content (product description)
Hi <acronym title="Search Engine Optimization">SEO</acronym> pro's, how are you doing these days? Hope everything is fine... Let's get down to business: I've got a little question about ecommerce sites with duplicate content (product descriptions). I'm already ranking top #1 for exact keyword matche's (did a lot of backlink work with exact keyword). That's fine. The question is: long tail keywords still getting lower results than the competitors, because they published the content first. How to beat them? What I need to do/work to outrank competitors on long tail keywords? (I really need this because almost keywords/products from my niche only have 10% of exact search's). Hope someone can give me a word of light on this! Thanks!
