Schema.org Review for Person
-
I'm trying to make some sense of Google's rich snippets and microdata/Schema.org.
Wondering if it's allowed to have reviews or an aggregateReview for a Person, rather than a Thing, Product or Place. Of course, a Person is a Thing, but when I try to validate my markup with Google's Structured Data Testing Tool, it tells me:
Warning: Page contains property "aggregaterating" which is not part of the schema.
Anyone have any ideas here?

I understand completely where you're coming from. It sounds like Google's gone a little wacky. I think you can review the person's blog that would effectively allow you to review what you think of that person's work.
The person section in there is for you.
You need to put your companies or personal information in their for Google local/places and other sites to find you. you might want to consider adding and Hcard
you can of course review the blog as a place. Or the URL what are they selling or the product information. That's how I would take it and that's how I would structure it.
Their examples are a bit out there and I thought the same thing as you however you should use it and use it to the best of what you believe is correct. If you want to review product well I consider writing a blog work and the product is the intellectual property and yes you can use stars but you need another plug-in. I really like the snippet plug-in as well for Schema it allows you more freedom. I would honestly ask Raven tools themselves they probably will give you the best answer possible.
I hope I have been of help

I believe a person/business can have reviews but I think only the business is if it's tied to the person.

I've been using the Raven tool. The question is more about if Reviews are a valid thing for a Person -- they are always exampled as being for a product or a place.
As far as I can tell, the Highlight tool is only for events, not Review or other types of structured data yet.
It's not so much about generating the markup, I have done that. But after doing so, Google's Structured Data Testing tool is telling me that AggregateReview is not a valid property for a Person.
Can a Person have reviews?

try using

and if you're using Word press use Raven tools Schema you can also used a WordPress snippets plug-in. That you can reverse and fix anything you may not find you wanted to do.
I would also highly recommend using Google's highlight tool found in their Google Webmaster tools it is excellent

FAQ Schema Markup
I was wondering which blog posts would qualify for an FAQ Schema markup. For instance, we have a blog post which is more like a Q&A interview with our customer where our product gets mentioned several times. Would we get dinged for including our product name in the markup? First of all does that kind of blog posts even qualify for the markup? Example of the blog post: https://www.revulytics.com/blog/qa-techsmith-snagit-strategy-lead-daniel-foster

Should I Focus on Video Schema or a Video Sitemap First
Hey all, I'm working on a website that is soon going to launch a video hub that contains over 500 videos. I'm interested in ensuring that the videos show up on the SERPs page in the highest position possible. I know Google recommends that you have on-page schema for your videos as well as an XML sitemap so they can be indexed for SERP. When I look at schema and the XML video sitemap they seem to communicate very similar kinds of information (Title, Description, Thumbnail, Duration). I'm not sure which one to start with; is it more important to have video schema or a video sitemap? Additionally, if anyone knows of any good video sitemap generators (free is best, but cheap is okay too) then please let me know. Cursory google searching has just churned up a number of tools that look sketchy.

What is the optimum schema for a Website and how important is it really is for SEO?
Hey everyone,
Technical SEO | | artdivision
As you all probably has seen Google has changed their structure testing tool and alongside that has also changed what is considered as valid and not valid. I have been struggling with this question for quite a while now where opinions are really split. **1. How important is Schema for SEO? **
2. How far should you go Schema'ing your website pages? From the one hand i can see how it can be easier for a BOT to read a code that has proper "road signs" (our schemas markups), on the other hands, Google is already extremely clever is working out what is the header, sidebar or footer as well as review and or a blog posts (especially for those of us who use Wordpress. Would love to know if someone has seen a "Like to Like" show case with schemas and/or have some factual information regarding what should or shouldn't be done when it comes ot Schema. Dan. x1aw0 -
Can Google Read schema.org markup within Ajax?
Hi All, as a local business directory, we also display Openinghours on a business listing page. ex. http://www.goudengids.be/napoli-kontich-2550/
Technical SEO | | TruvoDirectories
At the same time I also have schema.org markup for Openinghours implemented.
But, for technical reasons (performance), the openinghours (and the markup alongside) are displayed using AJAX. I'm wondering if google is able to read the markup. The rich snippet tool and markup plugings like Semantic Inspector can't "see" the markup for openinghours. Any advice here?0 -
