Multiple Local Schemas Per Page
-
I am working on a mid size restaurant groups site. The new site (in development) has a drop down of each of the locations. When you hover over a location in the drop down it shows the businesses info (NAP). Each of the location in the Nav list are using schema.org markup.
I think this would be confusing for search robots. Every page has 15 address schemas and individual restaurants pages NAP is at the below all the locations' schema/NAP in the DOM.
Have any of you dealt with multiple schemas per page or similar structure?
-
I help run a directory site and we have City pages with multiple listings. We don't mark up that page but we have a landing page for each location. The landing page for a location is what we markup that way.
If you look on sites like Yelp they do the same thing.
On the Dallas page there is no schema markup but
http://www.yelp.com/biz/eddie-vs-prime-seafood-dallas
If you visit a local restaurant then the schema markup shows up.
I was looking through the schema.org documentation
http://schema.org/docs/gs.html
Using the url property. Some web pages are about a specific item. For example, you may have a web page about a single person, which you could mark up using the Person item type. Other pages have a collection of items described on them. For example, your company site could have a page listing employees, with a link to a profile page for each person. For pages like this with a collection of items, you should mark up each item separately (in this case as a series of Persons) and add the url property to the link to the corresponding page for each item, like this:
_[itemprop="url">Alice Jones](alice.html) [itemprop="url">Bob Smith](bob.html)_
So in the example on Schema, you can tag the location with the type and then use the URL parameter to point to the actual page that has the information.
I then looked at CitySearch I did see an example of this
http://dallas.citysearch.com/find/section/dallas/restaurants.html
and
http://dallas.citysearch.com/profile/34327220/lewisville_tx/mama_s_daughters_diner.html
If you look at the code on the Dallas Restaurant pages they use Item List markup
itemscopeitemtype="http://schema.org/ItemList">
That is a list of Breakfast Restaurants in Dallas and then for each place on that page they will mark up
itemtype="http://schema.org/LocalBusiness" itemprop="itemListElement">
and
itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating" itemprop="aggregateRating">
and then they reference the URL to the location page (as suggested above in the schema.org documentation)
[Check with your developer, but it looks like if you define the list of locations first, the spiders can see that all of the locations are a part of that list (vs the page being dedicated to a single location) then when you have the link to the landing page for the location you can do the full markup.
Good luck!](http://dallas.citysearch.com/profile/41040743/dallas_tx/breadwinners_cafe_bakery.html)

Location of body text on page - at top or bottom - does it matter for SEO?
Hi - I'm just looking at the text on a redesigned homepage. They have moved all the text to the very bottom of the page (which is quite common with lots of designers, I notice - I usually battle to move the important text back up to the top). I have always ensured the important text comes at the top, to some extent - does it matter where on the page the text comes, for SEO? Are there any studies you can point me to? Thanks for your help, Luke

Is having a site map page necessary?
Hello all! So I know having a sitemap XML file is important to include in your robots.txt file. I also know it is important to submit your XML sitemap to Google and Bing. However, I am wondering if it is beneficial for your site's SEO value to have a sitemap page displayed on your website? Or is this just a redundant action if you have already done the above two actions with your XML sitemap? Thanks in advance!

WordPress Category page title h1 or h2
Hi friends, I know this is a minor technical change, but we are in an extremely competitive market and I don't want to have any points against us. On our WordPress Category pages i.e. http://www.domain.com/category/�tegory-title%/ I looked at the code behind the the Title of the category page, which is "Browsing: %Category Title%" The code is an h2. I look at the posts in the category archive below, and those are also h2's. The theme preview is here and you can click on Entertainment - Reviews to see exactly what I'm referring to - http://themeforest.net/item/smartmag-responsive-retina-wordpress-magazine/full_screen_preview/6652608 I changed the code for the "Browsing: %Category Title%" to h1, which I believe is more consistent and standard formatting. 1. Is this a correct technical on-page optimization? 2. Would it be beneficial to remove "Browsing"?

Link colour on page?
I always thought that the link colour has to be different from text colour? I have come across a site http://www.printandpackaging.co.uk/ and it has made me question this belief, they seem to only have bolded the link which would be very nice if this is fine.

Custom 404 Page Indexing
Hi - We created a custom 404 page based on SEOMoz recommendations. But.... the page seems to be receiving traffic via organic search. Does it make more sense to set this page as "noindex" by its metatag?
