Schema.org for a rental site with more than one apartment per address
-
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:
- http://schema.org/Place for the address of the building an apartment is in.
- 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.

Thanks

Kane, your link helped. Especially because it got me to discover http://www.productontology.org/!

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.

Best Way to Handle Multi-Language Sites
In the last year we've made a few significant changes to the structure of our site - namely adding translations for a few languages. We have historically been gaining in organic search by about 10% each month, but in the last two months we've leveled out and seen a slight dip. I am wondering if this has something to do with the addition of the second language, and namely if there's a chance we've been penalized due to duplicate content. We have almost all pages / content on the site translated by a translator, but the way the development works the site will grab the english version if a translation hasn't been added - potentially adding some duplicate content? The URL structure remains the same, other than the addiion of the language - site.com/our-tour vs site.com/de/our-tour We also haven't translated the tour name itself, so that remains the same. Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on best practices here or things I should be looking out for. Thanks in Advance.

IP Canonicalization for HTTPS site?
I received an unsolicited SEO report for one of my sites. My site was faulted for not having IP canonicalization set up. I reviewed this carefully. My site runs on Apache, is https and is on a dedicated IP. The mod rewrite rules for Apache all deal with the http version of the site. When I type my site's IP into a browser, I get the the https version, but with a unsecure cert warning as the certificate does not include the IP. Should I implement the http IP canonicalization rule. Another rewrite rule would then redirect the request to the https version?

Moving Site from HTTP to HTTPS
Hi, So the news is that Google has started giving more importance to sites with HTTPS i.e. it is now a new ranking signal. It says that as of now it affects fewer than 1% of global queries, and carrying less weight than other signals such as high quality content but it may decide to strengthen it as they would like to encourage all website owners to switch from HTTP to HTTPS to keep everyone safe on the web. In that case, what should we do? Switching from http:// to https:// means change in urls and low traffic. How to cope with it? Do we have to implement 'n' number of redirects? Regards,

Can you have more than 1 site on the first page if site look and content is completely different but keywords are the sam.
I have a client that wants to build another completely different site than his main site and optimize it to have 2 websites on the first page for his keywords. The content and look and feel of the website would be completely different. One of his competitors is doing it and getting away with it. What is your advice.

Duplicate Content - Site Wide or Internet Wide?
Hello... I am creating a new website and i was wondering how you guys would define duplicate content? If my new site had the same page titles and descriptions as my existing site, would that be duplicate content? Or does duplicate content mean same titles and descriptions in the same site? I'm wondering if i can upload the same database (with page titles and descriptions and alt tags) to my new site or if that would be looked at as duplicate... Thanks
