      I am looking for advices on how to best start adopting schema.org for an apartment rental site with more than one apartment per address.

      I would like to get feedback and suggestions on my initial thoughts.

      Here are the obvious ones:

      1. http://schema.org/Place for the address of the building an apartment is in.
      2. http://schema.org/ApartmentComplex for the unique page for each apartment.

      Any thoughts or experiences you would like to share?

      Thanks,

      Adrien O'Leary

        Schema helps a lot to set up and arrange the visual view data of the website. I have applied it to my Irwell Hill project.

              I'm not familiar with it. Some decent info on it at http://semanticweb.com/schema-org-adds-additional-type-property_b30861, but not sure if that's helpful.

                Kane, I appreciate the feedback and I know realize that there are no specific properties for Residence or AppartmentComplex. One question about additionalType. Any input on finding the right RDFa syntax for that property?

                  So, those are attributes for Things and then Places (a subset of Things). Because of that, they apply to subcategories. The current Schema.org structure apparently does not add any new attributes for Residences or Apartment Complexes. Obviously that may not be right, but I've seen this in other Schema.org categories that are missing attributes that would make sense to have.

                    Hi Kane, I appreciate the answer.

                    One additional question. Why are the properties listed at http://schema.org/Residence the same than the ones listed at http://schema.org/ApartmentComplex (while the latest one is a some kind of sub-type of the first one)?

                    Thanks,

                    Adrien O'Leary

                      http://schema.org/ApartmentComplex is going to be the correct formatting to use. That includes an implicit relationship to the Place markup based upon containedIn.

                      The number of apartments/suites/etc won't affect the Schema markup, as long as everything is on the same street  number (e.g. 1234 Oak St).

                      However if the complex contains multiple buildings with separated street numbers (e.g. 1234 Oak St as well as 1237 Oak St) then that may affect your approach. In that event I'd probably choose the building that the rental office is located in (assuming that's onsite), and this is also going to have to match the address you're using for all of your citations across the internet.

                        Schema.org Article, itemprop keyword, what is it?

                        I've wanted to know the answer to this for a couple of years now and haven't found anyone ever talking about it. So here goes ... For schema.org markup on articles, http://schema.org/Article there's an itemprop for keywords: http://schema.org/keywords keywords
                        Canonical URL: http://schema.org/keywords
                        Keywords or tags used to describe this content. Multiple entries in a keywords list are typically delimited by commas. What's that do? Like if I use that markup with an article I publish on my site, will that get those words given that property keyword value? Will that affect SEO value? Do those replace what metatag keywords used to be? Or are they just like what metatag keywords are these days, no real value?

                        I have got a client site, which is dated (2007) and has not been shifted to any recognised CMS yet. It is HTML based. Is it possible to SEO on such a site? Is it even worth it? If it is possible to do SEO on this, any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

                        Schema description wordcount guidelines ?

                        Hi is there a wordcount guideline for the description field in Ravens schema creator ? according to their page on event schema an excerpt from the page will show up as a short description but then their tool has a field for adding a description! I was just adding some edited copy from the page into this but if it already pulls in an excerpt is there any need ? I take it its a good idea for better control of what's displayed in rich snippet, if so what's suggested wordcount limit ? cheers dan

                        What is the right schema.org link for a web design / developer / mobile agency?

                        It seems strange that a group of web developers would make up an entire structured language to designate businesses by category and somehow forget  to include companies like.... web developers. So I must be missing it, what is correct to use?

                        Same H1 tag in header across entire site

                        Should I have the same H1 tag in my header through out my entire site? Or is this considered to be  self canalization for my main keywords. For example right now I have an H1 tag with my main targeted keywords on every page on my site, even if the pages content doesn't necessarily match the keywords in the H1 tag.
