Schema.org Data Appears on Website
-
Hello Moz World,
I would like to incorporate Schema Data onto my website. My website has Meta tags in the of the document, which incorporates our keywords. And, in the footer, I have my businesses address, logo and other relevant information. Everything flows because it is stylized using CSS. When I input the schema.org data it appears on the website as text w/ a hyperlink. See Code:
My Company
DESCRIPTION.STREET
CITY
STATE
ZIP
United States
Phone: NUMBERI've tried to put it inside the head, body & footer of the HTML code. I want my website to show up properly through Google Structured Data Testing Tool however, I don't want the text to show up on my website not stylized. It sticks out like a soar thumb no matter where I incorporate it. My questions are; Should I even bother with Schema.org? And, is there a way to incorporate it into my website so it does not show up and Google can still pull it up?
Thanks ahead of time for all of the awesome responses!
B/R
Will H.

Hello Peter,
I ended up using JSON-LD, I found someone having the same issues on a Webmaster Forum and another member referred him to a JSON-LD Markup Generator for Schema.org. I threw the code into my header, and checked it with Google Structured Data Tester. Everything Checked out! Thank You for your time and input.

Hello Gyorgy,
I was going to use Google Tag Manager as a last resort. I know Google supports a majority of searches through search engines, but I wanted all of the search engines to be able to read the Schema Data. I ended up creating a script using JSON-LD. Much easier, I used this generator. Thank you for your input!

Very Helpful! Thank you for your input Kristen.

You also can use JSON-LD to add this in site w/o messing with HTML. Just refer to their documentation because it can be placed everywhere - in HEAD or in BODY but wasn't visible.

Hi Will
I use Google Tag Manager to add structured data to the website. With GTM, the structured markup won't be in the source code and won't be seen in the browser.
The Google Structured Data Testing Tool picks up the local markup from GTM nicely.

Having issues crawling a website
We looked to use the Screaming Frog Tool to crawl this website and get a list of all meta-titles from the site, however, it only resulted with the one result - the homepage. We then sought to obtain a list of the URLs of the site by creating a sitemap using https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/. Once again however, we just go the one result - the homepage. There is something that seems to be restricting these tools from crawling all pages. If you anyone can shed some light as to what this could be, we'd be most appreciative.

Adding videos to a website
Hello! We are producing multiple videos (each about 1-minute long) for a company website. We have decided to use Wistia to host them, in order get the full SEO benefits of links to the videos. I have two questions: 1. Would it definitely be better for SEO to divide up the videos and place them on the various existing pages of the site that are related to the video content, rather than putting all the videos together on a separate video page? 2. If we do put different videos on different pages, would it be a bad idea also to have a video page with all the videos together? Would this be considered duplicate content? Thank you very much!

Merging websites
My company (A) is about the merge with another company (B). The long-term plan is not to keep their brand or website. In terms of the merge process, I have been doing a bit of research and this is how I'm thinking about doing it so far., which is open minded about changing... On the homepage of company B, do a 302 redirect to an information page on the same website which details the merger. This will only be for a year. After a year has passed, do a 301 redirect to the homepage of company A Do 301 redirects from all other pages to similar pages on company A. For pages that don't correspond, either do a 302 to the 'merger detail page', or do a 301 to the homepage of company A. Bring across any content that is effective at driving traffic. Contact all high authority websites that have links to company B and request for them to be updated. Any tips/corrections appreciated. Stu

Website, webshop and blog. Subfolders or subdomains?
Hello fellow mozzers, I've seen a lot of discussion and confusion about whether you should use subfolders or subdomains when you have a website, a blog and a webshop.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | WesleySmits
Of course with subfolders the PageRank will be more effective since it's all in one domain. On the other hand subdomains will be a better user experience since you can focus on just the webshop or just the blog. Was wondering how you guys/girls think what would be the best way to handle this.0 -
