Why isn't our structured markup showing in search results

[CSawatzky]

Hi All,

We installed Schema.org structured markup on our pages nearly 1.5 months ago at this point and we have yet to see the markup show in the search results. It also checks out in Webmaster tools and Google's structured markup language testing tool. So, I'm just confused why it's not even showing up site a "site" search in Google either.

Here's an example of two such pages on our site:

http://www.learningtree.com/htfu/usdc01/washington/java-perl-and-python-programming-training

and

http://www.learningtree.com/htfu/usat40/alpharetta/it-and-management-training

Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you

Hi

As Dennis confirmed, the 2nd link is showing the rich snippets. Try not to rely on the site: operator, and instead (first choice), query Google specifically where your result should appear first naturally, in your target country. For example, https://www.google.com/search?site=&source=hp&q=IT+and+Management+Training+Alpharetta%2C+GA+&gl=us yields the desired result:http://screencast.com/t/szChNsHMjS42

Alternatively, you can always try the info: operator which is usually more reliable. Your first result is a bit more confusing to explain, http://screencast.com/t/nY3u6eCdeIfV. You have 2 results appearing for the exact page title query, and that might be the reason why you aren't seeing it (at least in this example): https://www.google.com/search?gl=us&q=Java%2C+Perl+and+Python+Programming+Training+&gl=us

Just as David-Kley said above, you've implemented the microdata correctly and it's really up to Google as to whether the query deserves rich snippets or not. On the up side, you are getting quite a few rich snippets, so just look around  https://www.google.com/search?gl=us&q=Perl++Programming+Training&gl=us

Thanks,

Dave

Make sure you are not signed into your Google account when trying to see if pages are displaying authorship. If you are signed in, it will not show.

As to the markup, if it is showing up in Google's snippet testing tool, it is there. It is up to Google when and where they display the snippets, if they feel it benefits the user.

Hi Pedram

The 2nd link is already showing the markup

The rest should come along eventually. I usually notice quicker changes for higher trafficked pages (higher activity and better crawled) on the sites I run. They also, sometimes appear and disappear altogether but they did tweak it recently to show more often based on the sites that I am tracking.
