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

Restructuring Areas of a Website
Hi We are changing the structure of 2 areas of our site but the URL's won't be changing. We're effectively removing the first category level as it doesn't make much sense: Current structure Cat 1 - http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/cupboards-lockers Cat 2s - http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/lockers & http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/cupboards Cat 3s... New structure will look like Cat 1's http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/lockers & http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/cupboards Cat 2's.... etc The top category 1 doesn't rank for much & the level 2's perform better anyway. Will moving the structure change rankings even though the URLs don't change - just what is assigned to them in the back changes I know if the on-page content changes, things may be affected, but we're minimising this as much as possible. Thank you

Content Publishing Volume/Timing
I am working with a company that has a bi-monthly print magazine that has several years' worth of back issues. We're working on building a digital platform, and the majority of articles from the print mag - tips, how-tos, reviews, recipes, interviews, etc - will be published online. Much of the content is not date-sensitive except for the occasional news article. Some content is semi-date-sensitive, such as articles focusing on seasonality (e.g. winter activities vs. summer activities). My concern is whether, once we prepare to go live, we should ensure that ALL historical content is published at once, and if so, whether back-dates should be applied to each content piece (even if dating isn't relevant), or whether we should have a strategy in place in terms of creating a publishing schedule and releasing content over time - albeit content that is older but isn't necessarily time-sensitive (e.g. a drink recipe). Going forward, all newly-created content will be published around the print issue release. Are there pitfalls I should avoid in terms of pushing out so much back content at once?

Membership/subscriber (/customer) only content and SEO best practice
Hello Mozzers, I was wondering whether there's any best practice guidance out there re: how to deal with membership/subscriber (existing customer) only content on a website, from an SEO perspective - what is best practice? A few SEOs have told me to make some of the content visible to Google, for SEO purposes, yet I'm really not sure whether this is acceptable / manipulative, and I don't want to upset Google (or users for that matter!) Thanks in advance, Luke

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!

Duplicate content
I run about 10 sites and most of them seemed to fall foul of the penguin update and even though I have never sought inorganic links I have been frantically searching for a link based answer since April. However since asking a question here I have been pointed in another direction by one of your contributors. It seems At least 6 of my sites have duplicate content issues. If you search Google for "We have selected nearly 200 pictures of short haircuts and hair styles in 16 galleries" which is the first bit of text from the site short-hairstyles.com about 30000 results appear. I don't know where they're from nor why anyone would want to do this. I presume its automated since there is so much of it. I have decided to redo the content. So I guess (hope) at some point in the future the duplicate nature will be flushed from Google's index? But how do I prevent it happening again? It's impractical to redo the content every month or so. For example if you search for "This facility is written in Flash® to use it you need to have Flash® installed." from another of my sites that I coincidently uploaded a new page to a couple of days ago, only the duplicate content shows up not my original site. So whoever is doing this is finding new stuff on my site and getting it indexed on google before even google sees it on my site! Thanks, Ian
