Aggregate review schema
-
Hi Guys, Im working with a SaaS client in the flatmate sharing industry and I need to ask the following:
Here's a screenshot showing the reviews people have submitted.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ra6cdb5w609o8d/Screen Shot 2016-01-13 at 2.46.12 pm.png?dl=01-Is there a chance Google will include these reviews as it doesn't have a way of checking if they are real? They are in this case so that's why would be great to include them.
2- the stars don't seem to be in html, how can we mark the stars to be indexed by google?
I want to include this schema
https://developers.google.com/structured-data/rich-snippets/reviews#aggregate_ratingsI don't think we would be able to full-fill these items, what do you think?
<code>spanvocab="http://schema.org/"typeof="Review"> <span< span="">property="itemReviewed"typeof="Thing"> <span< span="">property="name">Super Book This is not a boook is a service, what should I put here?</span<></span<> <span< span="">property="author"typeof="Person"> <span< span="">property="name">Joe</span<></span<> <span< span="">property="reviewRating"typeof="Rating"> Rating: <span< span="">property="ratingValue">7</span<> out of <span< span="">property="bestRating">10</span<></span<> <span< span="">property="publisher"typeof="Organization"> Whato this property means? Reviews are made by customers not organizations. <meta< span="">property="name"content="Washington Times"> same as abobe, they are not publishers.</meta<></span<></code>
If you could help me it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Nico,
Tim's example should get you what you need to mark up your aggregate ratings correctly. I wanted to take a minute to address your other questions.
Anything between the and tags in an example is something you should customize to your content. So in the example above, <spanproperty="name">Super Book, you would replace "Super Book" with whatever the name of the product being reviewed is. For any example of Schema markup, if the example includes information that isn't on your page, you can just delete those properties.</spanproperty="name">
For Publisher markup, the "publisher" isn't the person who wrote the review, it's the website as a whole (that's you) that is publishing the content.
In terms of whether or not Google will include the ratings snippet since it can't verify whether ratings are real, in my experience they will especially if you have a good volume of reviews.

Hi Nicolas, the dropbox link 404'd, the above schema you are showing is for reviews, and not for aggregate reviews.
Reviews are per individual item and should be related to the product on the page etc. This will not display any HTML stars in your Organic serp results in Google.
For aggregate results you will need to use another method that in effect calculates a total score based on all of the reviews accrued. You can definately use this for service based products etc.
<div itemscope itemtype="http: schema.org="" product"=""><span itemprop="name">Service
<div itemprop="aggregaterating" itemscope itemtype="http: schema.org="" aggregaterating"="">Rated 3.5/5 based on 11 customer reviews<./div>
Something like this should do the trick. If you are storing your reviews via an external site I would also add in an itemprop for url to source them back to the original source for justification.
The above should results in you achieving a star rating in your organic serps.
You can visually add in your own stars to your site to make it look more appealing.</div itemprop="aggregaterating" itemscope itemtype="http:></span itemprop="name"></div itemscope itemtype="http:>

H1 and Schema Codes Set Up Correctly?
Greetings: It was pointed out to me that the h1 tags on my website (www.nyc-officespace-leader.com) all had exactly the same text and that duplication may be contributing to the very low page authority for most URLs. The duplicate h1 appears in line 54-54 (see below) of the home page: www.nyc-officespace-leader.com: itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/LocalBusiness" style="position:absolute;top:-9999em;"> <span<br>itemprop="name">Metro Manhattan Office Space</span<br> <img< p="">But the above refers to schema" so is this really duplicate H1 or is there an exception if the H1 is within a schema? Also, I was told that the company street address and city and state were set up incorrectly as part of an alt tag. However these items also appear as schema in lines 49-68 shown below: Dangerous for me to perform surgery on the code without being certain about these key items!! Could ask my developer, however they may be uncomfortable considering that they set this up in the 1st place. So the view of neutral professionals would be highly welcome! itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress">

Schema Markup for Multiple Locations
I am reaching out to see if I correctly set up Schema Markup on our website for multiple locations.Our company has HQ in Little Chute WI but we have 6 other office locations. We have a separate page for each office within our website. I inserted ProfessionalService Schema Markup, using GTM. I used the address of our HQ Little Chute office on all pages besides the 6 pages that have different office locations. I then individually set up unique ProfessionalService Schema Markup for the 6 locations with their unique location addresses. Did I do this correctly? Thanks

Why some pages show schema and some don't in Google?
I notice Google displays the schema(reviews, price, availability etc.) in results only for some of our item pages in same category using same template. Any ideas why this is happening. They are created around same time - more than a year ago. Schema was also added a year ago.
