Why Isn't Product Schema Showing Up for my Ecom Site?
-
Hello,
I work with two ecommerce sites and we've implemented product and review schema back in mid-May. Since implemented, I've seen some of the product prices and review stars start to show up in Google, however, now it seems to be long gone. I've tested sample URLs in Google's rich snippet testing tool and no errors come up and it looks like we have all the required components needed for each schema type.
I know Google doesn't for sure show schema, but these sites are a decent size and trustworthy enough where I think they would be showing it.
Does anyone have an idea on what I'm missing? Have you experienced something like this?
Thanks in advance.

I suspected that those related products being marked up might not have been good. Good to know. We'll for sure test that out.
Thanks for the recommendation on the blog post and for your help!

The first thing that stands out to me on these pages is that you have all of the other products that the page links to under "Related Items" marked up as well. So there are multiple values for Product and for Offer on the page. The first thing I would test would be removing this markup for the Related items, so that all the Product markup on the page applies only to the product that page is about. I suspect that Google may have gotten stricter about requirements for this, or otherwise changed the way they generate price/review snippets. So that's what I would test first. It can work to have multiple Product schemas on a category page, but on a page that is specifically about one product I would try to have all of the Product markup on that page be about that product.
The other thing you may want to update is your height and width properties. It looks like you're currently using the type "Intangible" for these, when their expected types would be either QuantitativeValue or Distance, so I would update those too.

Hi! So my first question would be: Are other websites in the same SERP displaying rich product snippets? If not, it may be that Google has decided that other forms of rich content are a better fit for those queries.
One frustrating thing about the structured data testing tool is that it doesn't get updated nearly as often as the algorithm itself does, so occasionally something will validate just fine in the tool but be running up against stricter requirements in the algo itself. The tool was updated pretty recently so I don't know for sure that that's the case but it is a thing that can happen.
If you'd feel comfortable sharing a URL or two (or want to PM them to me), I can take a look.

How to make Google show reviews from Facebook and Google My Business?
I wonder if there is anything I can do to increase the chance that Google shows stars that indicate the average score of our reviews from Facebook or Google MyBusiness for the keywords where we rank nr. 1, for instance our brand name?

Not showing up in Google Local Pack despite being #1 ranked for keyword
Hey everyone, This has been an on-going problem that we've been having for a select location of ours. We've been #1 ranked for the keyword "dog groomers near me", however we don't show up in the Google Local Pack (top 3 locations box). We have a high 4.9 rating with 20+ ratings, and the other locations that DO show up have a 2.4 and 3.6 rating with less reviews! I've exhausted every resource and have even geo-tagged our specific photos on our landing pages. I'm not sure what to do anymore as we're already #1 ranked on every similar keyword. Thank you, Anthony

Rich snippets not showing up in Google
Would anyone know why after adding schema.org markup to a websites products, reviews and ratings why it still isn't showing up in Google SERPs? Does Google pick and choose who's rich snippets get displayed on a random basis or some other criteria?

My local search results don't seem to line up with the numbers.
After a year looking at the SERP's of the competition vs our listings I can't figure out what we are not doing by the numbers that is keeping the rankings down. Even looking at the Moz My Business report I don't see what's missing here. https://tools.brightlocal.com/seo-tools/admin/location-dashboard/location/353989/gpw/view#tab-1685931

Will adding schema markup to copied Google reviews show up in organic search?
Google no longer favors my client's industry with Google reviews in local Snack Pack results, but a national competitor has markup for site-based reviews that are showing up in organic results, which is a big, shiny, advantage. Rather than have to solicit reviews in two places (Google and the site), I'm wondering if it would be possible/advisable to copy and paste the Google reviews into the site and mark them up there, in an attempt to get Google to feature the rating in the organic SERP result? I don't know if this would work though, since I'm guessing part of the reason that Google accepts the competitor reviews is because they are verified purchases, which wouldn't be possible just cutting and pasting. But is it worth a try? It's too bad though, Google is effectively only showing handpicked, "national" reviews, which does local customers a disservice. Thank you!

Hi Guys I have been trying to integrate schema markup with review action into car purchase emails to drive additional reviews for dealership google places listings.

Has anyone got any suggestions why this may be or have any experience using the review action within emails for google places or itemtype other than FoodEstablishment. I have read the great Moz post on this here but im still struggling. Thanks in advance for any help!

Publishing testimonials on your site that are from your Google + (or other review sites page)
Ive got a site with some good Google + Reviews and some other good reviews on other sites that id like to be able to publish on a testimonials page on our website, but im worried about being penalised for duplicate content. Any idea of the best way to get these reviews on to our website, i was thinking about placing the text in as an image, but id prefer to do something semantic if at all possible. (I know that some review sites have javascript widgets you can use to pull in your reviews but for most of the sites we are reviewed on they dont)

Rich Snippets Showing in Site:Search Queries Only?
Hey Mozzers, I'm noticing that several sites of mine are triggering rich snippets for REVIEWS when I do site:search, however when I remove the site:search their results are stripped of rich snippets. Any thoughts on this/others seeing similarities?
