Duplicate Schema within webpage

[ReunionMarketing]

I'm implementing schema across a few Wordpress sites. Most (probably all) WP sites use widgets for their footer, which offer their own editable HTML. Is it damaging (or helpful) to implement the exact same markup in the footer and a specific page, like for instance,  a locations page that has the address and contact info (which are also in the footer)?

Hey There,

No I wouldn't worry about that. Most optimized local business sites have complete NAP in schema in the footer and then that is repeated on the Contact Page. I really doubt there's any problem with this.

Hi there.

My suggestion would be to go to google structured data testing tool and check your page. If Google says it's all good, it is all good

From my experience - I hate wordpress automatic markup. It gives many mistakes and has a lot of extra unuseful info. I usually delete all automatically added schema and add my own where it's supposed to go. It's pretty easy if you've worked with WP code and schema coding before.

Cheers!
