Multiple Local Schemas Per Page

[JoshAM]

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

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

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)

itemprop="url" class="slyLink fn url org" name="popular.breadwinnerscafebakery.1.businessName" id="graphicBrowse.1.1.name">

[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)
