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,

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

Duplicate content created by website Calendar - A Penalty?
A colleague of mine asked me a question about duplicate content coming from their event calendar. I don't think this will affect them negatively, but I would love some feedback and thoughts. ThanksOne of my clients, LifeTech Academy, is using my RavenTools software. Raventools has reported a HUGE amount of duplicate content (4.4K instances).The duplicate content all revolves around their calendar and repeating events (http://lifetechacademy.org/events/)The question is this - will this impact their SEO efforts in a negative way?

Content Audit Questions
Hi Mozzers Having worked on my companies site for a couple of months now correcting many issues, im now ready to begin looking at a content review, many areas of the site contain duplicate content, the main causes being 1. Category Page Duplications
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | ATP
e.g.
Widget Page Contains ("Blue Widget Extract")
Widget Page Contains ("Red Widget Extract")
Blue Widget Page Contains ("Same Blue Widget Extract")
Red Widget Page Contains ("Same Red Widget Extract") 2. Product Descriptions
Item 1 (Identical to item 2 with the exception of a few words and technical specs)
Item 2 Causing almost all the content on the site to get devalued. Whilst i've cleared all moz errors and warnings im certain this is causing devaluation of most of the website. I was hoping you could answer these questions so I know what to expect once i have made the changes. Will the pages that had duplicate content recover once they possess unique content or should i expect a hard and slow climb back? The website has never receive any warnings from Google, does this mean recovery for penalties like duplicate content will be quicker Several pages rank on page 1 for fairly competitive keywords despite having duplicate content and keyword spammy content. What are the chances of shooting myself in the foot by editing this content? I know I will have to wait for google to crawl the pages before i see any reflection in the changes, but how long after google has crawled the page should I get a realistic idea of how positive the changes were? As always, thanks for you time!0 -
Duplicate Content: Is a product feed/page rolled out across subdomains deemed duplicate content?
A company has a TLD (top-level-domain) which every single product: company.com/product/name.html The company also has subdomains (tailored to a range of products) which lists a choosen selection of the products from the TLD - sort of like a feed: subdomain.company.com/product/name.html The content on the TLD & subdomain product page are exactly the same and cannot be changed - CSS and HTML is slightly differant but the content (text and images) is exactly the same! My concern (and rightly so) is that Google will deem this to be duplicate content, therfore I'm going to have to add a rel cannonical tag into the header of all subdomain pages, pointing to the original product page on the TLD. Does this sound like the correct thing to do? Or is there a better solution? Moving on, not only are products fed onto subdomain, there are a handfull of other domains which list the products - again, the content (text and images) is exactly the same: other.com/product/name.html Would I be best placed to add a rel cannonical tag into the header of the product pages on other domains, pointing to the original product page on the actual TLD? Does rel cannonical work across domains? Would the product pages with a rel cannonical tag in the header still rank? Let me know if there is a better solution all-round!

Which is better /section/ or section/index.php?
I have noticed that Google has started to simply link to /section/ as opposed to /section/index.php and I haven't changed any canonical tags etc. I have looked at my pages moz authority for the two /section/ = 28/100
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | TimHolmes
/section/index.php = 42/100 How would I go about transferring the authority to /section/ from /section/index.php to hopefully help me in my organic serp positions etc. Any insight would be great 🐵0 -
New website won't rank for branded keywords in Google, but does in Bing
We launched a website in October www.butterfly.com. The branded product name "Butterfly Body Liners" will not rank until page 2 of Google, but it ranks #1 in Bing. Organic traffic never really picked up so it's not easy to tell if it's been "hit" by any penalty. The strange thing is, this website: http://archive.is/PQZdO is ranking #1. This is an archived version of the site. Does anyone have any insight as to why this is happening?

Is this ok for content on our site?
We run a printing company and as an example the grey box (at the bottom of the page) is what we have on each page http://www.discountbannerprinting.co.uk/banners/vinyl-pvc-banners.html We used to use this but tried to get most of the content on the page, but we now want to add a bit more in-depth information to each page. The question i have is - would a 1200 word document be ok in there and not look bad to Google.
