Suite Numbers and Schema
-
A potentially stupid question.
Is the suite number included within the tag, or should it sit outside of it? The reason I ask is because (a) I've seen it where the suite number sits outside that tag and (b) Google My Business best practices, I've been told (by Google support), is to include the suite in the second address line. I'm wondering if that translates in some way to the local schema on your site.
On the other hand, it makes sense to include your suite number within the streetAddress span tag, but sometimes what makes sense doesn't really make sense when you know more, so I'm just covering my bases.
Thank you!

Yes, include the suite number within span tags, definitely. You are also right that Google wants suites in the second address line, but for Schema purposes, do include them within the address section.

That all makes good sense. Regarding GMB, I've been finding more and more than the suite gets auto-moved from line 2 to line 1, so that may be another piece of evidence.

Hi there.
I usually include suite number, since it's a part of address. Basically, I'm matching the address line on Google My Business and website. Meaning if you have address in one line on GMB, include it in schema and if you have it in one line, don't include it in schema.
My personal opinion is that if you are located in office building with bunch of suites, Google can't understand that you're in suite #such-and-such, unless you specify. Also from user perspective, you always tell your clients "my address is house number H, street A, suite B", not "house number H, street A and one of the suites in that building. You'll find it, don't worry"

Max Number of 301 Redirections?
Hi, We currently made a re-design of a website and we changed all our urls to make them shorter. I made more than 300 permanent redirections but plenty more are needed since WMT is showing some more 404s from old urls that I hadn't seen because they were dynamic. The question is, please, is there a limit? I think we have more than 600 already. We don't want to create a php commando to redirect all the old ones to our home, we are redirecting them to their correspondent url. By the way, Im doing them with the 301 method in .htaccess. Thanks in advance.

Schema.org for restaurant menus
Hi i have looking into ways that i can apply shema.org formatting to a website that has a collection of restaurant menus. I found related schema.org formats (eg recipes, reviews, products etc) though can not seem to find a format set out for menu items. I am considering using the product format (http://schema.org/Product) for each menu item on a restaurant menu though not sure if this would add much value or not. I was hoping Google when then know more about the data collected on the website and be able to show it more accurately to the end user when they are searching for this data (restaurant menu), with rich snippets in serp results. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

What to do with extremely high number of URLs on your site?
Here is the situation: The site has tons of business and personal profiles, the information needed to be categorized as such directories were created in an attempt to keep the URL structure clean - so for example: www.abc.com/product/um/name-here/city-name/state/lastname:3458765 Each profile has a unique ID#, and for some reason there needed to be a category for a user in this case /um/ stands for user name. Webmaster tool steps to resolve state to use an rel=canonical which can be done for that directory /um/ but I am concerned about the bot not being able to find the other pages beyond that directory, like the profile name, city, state associated. So I guess my ultimate question is if I use rel=canonical will the rest of the content not get crawled or indexed as well?

High number of Duplicate Page titles and Content related to index.php
It appears that every page on our site (www.bridgewinners.com) also creates a version of itself with a suffix. This results in Seomoz indicating that there are thousands of duplicate titles and content. 1. Does this matter? If so, how much? 2. How do I eliminate this (we are using joomla)? Thanks.
