Ogranization Schema/Microformat for a content/brand website | Travel
-
Hi,
One of our clients have a website specific to a place, for eg. California Tourism in which they publish local information related to tourism, blogs & other useful content. I want to understand how useful is to publish Organization Schema on such website mentioning the actual Organization, which in this case is a Travel Agency? Or any other schema would fit in for such websites?

This of Schema as a unique set of information for each landing page. If you think the Schema is a general thing applied to all pages you are mistaken.
Each page should be set with its own unqiue schema.

Hi,
Implementing schema markup, including Organization Schema, can be very beneficial for your client's website, especially in the context of a travel agency focused on a specific region like California Tourism. Here are some key points to consider:
Enhanced Visibility: Using Organization Schema helps search engines understand the website better, potentially enhancing visibility in search results. It provides essential information about the travel agency, such as its name, logo, contact details, and more.
Credibility and Trust: Displaying structured data about the organization can enhance credibility and trust with visitors. It shows that the website is backed by a legitimate travel agency, which can reassure potential tourists looking for reliable information and services.
Improved Local SEO: Schema markup can significantly boost local SEO efforts. Including detailed information about the organization, like location and contact information, helps search engines deliver more relevant local search results.
Rich Snippets: Schema can enable rich snippets, which are more engaging and informative search results. This can increase click-through rates as users are more likely to click on results that stand out.
For a website focused on tourism, it might also be useful to explore other types of schema, such as Local Business Schema, Tourist Attraction Schema, and BlogPosting Schema. Each of these can provide additional context and detail to search engines, further enhancing SEO performance.

Hi,
One of our clients have a website specific to a place, for eg. California Tourism in which they publish local information related to tourism, blogs & other useful content. I want to understand how useful is to publish Organization Schema on such website mentioning the actual Organization, which in this case is a Travel Agency? Or any other schema would fit in for such websites?Hello,
Integrating the Organization Schema on a website dedicated to California Tourism, especially when operated by a Travel Agency, can be beneficial for several reasons. The Organization Schema, structured data markup that provides search engines with information about an organization, can enhance the way search engines understand and display your website's content in search results.
Here are some advantages of implementing the Organization Schema for a California Tourism website associated with a Travel Agency:
Search Engine Visibility:
The Organization Schema helps search engines better understand the context of your website. It provides specific details about your travel agency, such as its name, location, contact information, and other relevant details.
This improved understanding can contribute to better search engine visibility, making it easier for potential visitors to find your site when searching for California tourism-related information.
Rich Snippets:By implementing the Organization Schema, you increase the chances of your website appearing as a rich snippet in search results. Rich snippets provide users with more information directly on the search results page, making your listing more attractive and informative.
Trust and Credibility:Including structured data like Organization Schema can enhance the credibility of your travel agency. When search engines display detailed information about your organization, users are more likely to trust and click on your website.
Local SEO:For a website focused on California Tourism, local SEO is crucial. The Organization Schema allows you to specify your agency's location, which can positively impact local search results.
While Organization Schema is important, it's also worth considering other relevant schemas depending on the content of your website. For a tourism-focused site, you might also want to explore the following schemas:TouristAttraction Schema:
This schema can be used to markup specific tourist attractions in California, providing additional context to search engines about the key points of interest.
BlogPosting Schema:If your website publishes blogs, using the BlogPosting schema can help search engines understand the structure of your blog content, potentially improving its visibility.
Always ensure that your schema implementations align with the guidelines provided by schema.org and search engine best practices to maximize their effectiveness. -
Implement schemas certainly can help you to gain some visibility but there are many factors to keep in mind if you go to the site https://schema.org/ you will notice that there tons of options. So not all the schemas available are supported by Google. In Fact, in your case, you should focus on schemas supported by Google, Facebook, Pinterest etc.
Here you can find more information about the schemas supported by Google and Facebook
- https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/mark-up-content
- https://www.facebook.com/business/help/1175004275966513
So if you are working on a travel agency these are some schemas available for your content
- Local Business
- Articles
- Reviews
Also, there are schemas for the business info such as
- logo
- contact info
- location
- social profiles

Avoiding duplicate content in manufacturer's [of single product] website
Hello, So I have read a lot of articles about duplicate content/ keyword canibalism/ competing with yourself, and so on. But none of these articles really fit to manufacturer website who produces one product. For example, lets say I make ceramic tiles, this means: Homepage: "Our tiles are the best tiles, we have numerous designs of tiles. We make them only from natural ceramic" Product list: "Here is a list of our tiles: Poesia tile, white tile, textured tile, etc" Page for each tile: Gallery: a bunch of images trying to prove that these tiles look best 🙂 Where to buy page: a map From what I understand this page is already doomed - it will not go well against larger retailers who don't focus only on tiles but they sell everything. This page is set to have a lot of duplicate content. But I hope I am wrong, can someone please make some suggestions how to do SEO on such a website where all pages are about the same thing? Any help would be much appreciated! Juris

Interlinking from unique content page to limited content page
I have a page (page 1) with a lot of unique content which may rank for "Example for sale". On this page I Interlink to a page (page 2) with very limited unique content, but a page I believe is better for the user with anchor "See all Example for sale". In other words, the 1st page is more like a guide with items for sale mixed, whereas the 2nd page is purely a "for sale" page with almost no unique content, but very engaging for users. Questions: Is it risky that I interlink with "Example for sale" to a page with limited unique content, as I risk not being able to rank for either of these 2 pages Would it make sense to "no index, follow" page 2 as there is limited unique content, and is actually a page that exist across the web on other websites in different formats (it is real estate MLS listings), but I can still keep the "Example for sale" link leading to page 2 without risking losing ranking of page 1 for "Example for sale"keyword phrase I am basically trying to work out best solution to rank for "Keyword for sale" and dilemma is page 2 is best for users, but is not a very unique page and page 2 is very unique and OK for users but mixed up writing, pictures and more with properties for sale.

Help with setting up 301 redirects from /default.aspx to the "/" in ASP.NET using MasterPages?
Hi SEOMoz Moderators and Staff, My web developer and I are having a world of trouble setting up the best way to 301 redirect from www.tisbest.org/default.aspx to the www.tisbest.org since we're using session very heavily for our ASP.NET using MasterPages. We're hoping for some help since our homepage has dropped 50+ positions for all of our search terms since our first attempt at setting this up 10 days ago. = ( A very bad result. We've rolled back the redirects after realizing that our session system was redirecting www.tisbest.org back to www.tisbest.org/default.aspx?AutoDetectCookieSupport=1 which would redirect to a URL with the session ID like this one: http://www.tisbest.org/(S(whukyd45tf5atk55dmcqae45))/Default.aspx which would then redirect again and throw the spider into an unending redirect loop. The Google gods got angry, stopped indexing the page, and we are now missing from our previous rankings though, thankfully, several of our other pages do still exist on Google. So, has anyone dealt with this issue? Could this be solved by simply resetting up the 301 redirects and also configuring ASP.NET to recognize Google's spider as supporting cookies and thus not serving it the Session ID that has caused issue for us in the past? Any help (even just commiserating!) would be great. Thanks! Chad

Duplicate Content / 301 redirect Ariticle issue
Hello, We've got some articles floating around on our site nlpca(dot)com like this article: http://www.nlpca.com/what-is-dynamic-spin-release.html that's is not linked to from anywhere else. The article exists how it's supposed to be here: http://www.dynamicspinrelease.com/what-is-dsr/ (our other website) Would it be safe in eyes of both google's algorithm (as much as you know) and with Panda to just 301 redirect from http://www.nlpca.com/what-is-dynamic-spin-release.html to http://www.dynamicspinrelease.com/what-is-dsr/ or would no-indexing be better? Thank you!

Is there a way to stop my product pages with the "show all" catagory/attribute from duplicating content?
If there were less pages with the "show all" attribute it would be a simple fix by adding the canonical URL tag. But seeing that there are about 1,000 of them I was wondering if their was a broader fix that I could apply.

Domain w/ Identical Content to Site we are Optimizing
Hi Guys, We've been optimizing a client's site for about a year or so now and on a call the other day the client brought up that he owns and operates another site that's marketing the same product, but to a difference audience (we work on the direct to consumer side, this is a distributior focused site),with the same exact content as the site we are optimizing. Obviously this is a major duplcant content issue and we need to get it resolved very quickjly. We have already reccomendt to the client that we re-write content, but this is where my questions comes in - Which site should we rewrite the content on? The site we are optimizing is the more impoorant of the two, while we still want the other site to hold rankings we dont want to end up accidently optimizing the other site wherein the site we are working on full time suffers a lost when a "compeiting" site creates compeltely new content and may, accidentally, end up ranking higher than the site we are focusing on full time. As links also play a role, would that be a KPI to look at here in determining which site gets new content and which does not? In this scenairo, would would you guys recommend? Just want to make sure I'm dotting all my I's, and crossing T's here. Many thanks to all in advance, Mike
