      I have a client who is has structured data for live business webinars.

      Google's documentation seems to talk more about music and tickets than this kind of thing.

      At the same time, we get an error in search console for "Name" and location, which they list as "webinar."

      Should I removed this failed structured data attempt or is there a way to fix it?

      Thanks!

        It's possible!

        From mid of March 2020 Google announced new properties for  structured data events:

        • Virtual
        • Postponed
        • Schedled
        • Rescheduled
        • Move Online
        • Canceled

        You can find complete guide with code examples in my blog post.

        You think that's all?

            I've had a look at this in a fair amount of depth but I still can't get it working. I think there are a few things at play here:

            • Google documentation and Schema.org documentation disagree. Google says that location must be a place, Schema.org say it can be place, address or text. So your HTML could technically be correct according to schema.org docs and still show an error in the Google tool.
            • I think on some level event probably isn't the right property. The documentation says: "An event happening at a certain time and location...". I know that doesn't help you, just thinking out loud.
            • This might be worth thinking about: http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/53885/which-schema-org-type-should-be-used-for-webinars - but I don't think it will help with rich snippets if that's what you're after.
            • This page gets rich snippets despite not having location, maybe just try the same approach and ignore the testing tool if it works in the SERPS

            Sorry I couldn't be more help. I'll add this reply to the Moz page too for the benefits of others.

              It's more likely that you've made a typo than the name is wrong. The property name doesn't matter, you can name an event anything you want. My guess, without seeing it, is that the formatting is wrong in some way. I'd recommend starting off with one of the examples in the schema.org documentation and doing a find-and-replace for your equivalent details. Happy to take a look at the code if you're comfortable sharing it.

                My website has been indexed on google and all of its pages can be found on google except for the product category pages - which are where we want our traffic heading to, so this is a big problem for us.

                [Very Urgent] More 100 "/search/adult-site-keywords" Crawl errors under Search Console

                I just opened my G Search Console and was shocked to see more than 150 Not Found errors under Crawl errors. Mine is a Wordpress site (it's consistently updated too): Here's how they show up: Example 1: URL: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword/page2.html/feed/rss2 Linked From: http://an-adult-image-hosting.com/search/adult-site-keyword/page2.html Example 2 (this surprised me the most when I looked at the linked from data): URL: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword-2.html/page/3/ Linked From: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword-2.html/page/2/ (this is showing as if it's from our own site) http://a-spammy-adult-site.com/search/adult-site-keyword-2.html Example 3: URL: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword-3.html Linked From: http://an-adult-image-hosting.com/search/adult-site-keyword-3.html How do I address this issue?

                Can I tell Google to Ignore Parts of a Page?

                Hi all, I was wondering if there was some sort of html trick that I could use to selectively tell a search engine to ignore texts on certain parts of a page. Thanks!

                Putting "noindex" on a page that's in an iframe... what will that mean for the parent page?

                If I've got a page that is being called in an iframe, on my homepage, and I don't want that called page to be indexed.... so I put a noindex tag on the called page (but not on the homepage) what might that mean for the homepage?  Nothing?  Will Google, Bing, Yahoo, or anyone else, potentially see that as a noindex tag on my homepage?

                After reading of Google's so called "over-optimization" penalty, is there a penalty for changing title tags too frequently?

                In other words, does title tag change frequency hurt SEO ? After changing my title tags, I have noticed a steep decline in impressions, but an increase in CTR and rankings. I'd like to once again change the title tags to try and regain impressions. Is there any penalty for changing title tags too often? From SEO forums online, there seems to be a bit of confusion on this subject...

                Pipe ("|") in my website's title is being replaced with ":" in Google results

                Hi , One of the websites I'm promoting and working on is www.pau-brasil.co.il.
                It's wordpress-based website and as you can see the html's Title is "PauBrasil | some hebrew slogan".
                (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/2f80EEY.gif)
                When I'm searching for "PauBrasil" (Which is the brand's name) , one of the results google shows is "PauBrasil: Some Hebrew Slogan" (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/eJxNHrO.gif ) Why does the pipe is being replaced with ":" ?
                And not just that , as you can see there's a "blank space" missing between the the ":" to the slogan.
                (note: the websites has been indexed by google crawler at least 4 times so I find it hard to believe it can be the reason) I've keep on looking and found out that there's another page in that website with the exact same title
                but when I'm looking for it in google , it shows the title as it really is , with pipe. ("|").
                (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/dtsbZV2.gif) Have you ever encountered something like that?
                Can it be that the duplicated title cause that weird "replacement"? Thanks in advance,
                Kadel

                Google News URL Structure

                Hi there folks I am looking for some guidance on Google News URLs. We are restructuring the site. A main traffic driver will be the traffic we get from Google News. Most large publishers use: www.site.com/news/12345/this-is-the-title/ Others use www.example.com/news/celebrity/12345/this-is-the-title/ etc. www.example.com/news/celebrity-news/12345/this-is-the-title/ www.example.com/celebrity-news/12345/this-is-the-title/ (Celebrity is a channel on Google News so should we try and follow that format?) www.example.com/news/celebrity-news/this-is-the-title/12345/ www.example.com/news/celebrity-news/this-is-the-title-12345/ (unique ID no at the end and part of the title URL) www.example.com/news/celebrity-news/celebrity-name/this-is-the-title-12345/ Others include the date. So as you can see there are so many combinations and there doesnt seem to be any unity across news sites for this format. Have you any advice on how to structure these URLs? Particularly if we want to been seen as an authority on the following topics: fashion, hair, beauty, and celebrity news - in particular "celebrity name" So should the celebrity news section be www.example.com/news/celebrity-news/celebrity-name/this-is-the-title-12345/ or what? This is for a completely new site build. Thanks Barry
