Product Schema Markup for All Products
-
Hi Team,
Google search console used to allow you to use their structured data markup helperhttps://www.google.com/webmasters/markup-helper/u/0/ to markup multiple product pages at once that were similar. I do not see this feature anymore with the new search console. Does anyone have a recommendation for marking up multiple product pages without having to have schema markup firing in GTM for each product page?

thanks for the schema code .
I already try with my personal website .please have a look at the code seo company in dubai

It is a AspDotNetStorefront E-commerce CMS. These developer tools are helpful. I have looked into the dynamic schema markup blog, but am not sure it is the best to implement this if there are a lot of products. I might also consider trying to have a developer implement article markup for a drupal site. This has been helpful thank you.

I agree what is storefront I can't find a CMS called storefront?
If Schema markup is being added to a brand new site, it’s much easier for developers to add the Schema as part of the site build, as opposed to layering it on after the website has already been coded. Developers benefit from SEOs telling them specifically which page elements require Schema (location, events, etc.) and a link to the respective Schema type on Schema.org, so the developer can figure out the best approach for implementation.
SEOs have largely taken ownership of writing JSON-LD themselves, which is great for speeding up the process of implementing Schema. JSON-LD is generally easiest for developers to implement, but adding inline Schema is usually simple as well. There are some plugins that can assist with the implementation, but they generally only support basic Schema types, such as the Website or Organization.
One way:

You can use Cloudflare

I hope I have been of help,

Thank you Tom,
We are on storefront currently. We had previously used the schema markup tool for some of their products. I have used Google markup helper and technicalseo.com resources before to create JSON-LD to fire in GTM for blogs, vidoes, how-to pages, etc but not for product pages. Mostly because I agree that it can be done in a better way. Maybe consulting with a developer to implement product markup is best.

HI
Can I ask what platform you are using? If you're using an e-commerce platform like Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, etc. There are simple ways of writing code that will do a better job as well as plug-ins that you can purchase and/or use for free.
Or if in the unlikely event you are just running an E-commerce website without a CMS you can still do this via coding. there is a method no matter what flavor of kosher using rather it be Ruby, PHP NodeJS, etc.
FYI
Google does NOT recommend Using Tag Manager to Implement Schema Markup.
John Mueller from Google advises against using Google Tag Manager to deploy Structured Data and mentions that the ideal solution is to add the structured data directly into the HTML. So ideally process it server-side and pass it via HTML instead of relying on a client-side solution like Javascript.
While this is not the ideal solution, as SEOs we know that we are not always in ideal situations and at times our best bet is to deploy it through a solution like Google Tag Manager. You could also look at deploying it via an Edge Computing Solution like Cloudflare Workers.
https://www.cloudflare.com/en-au/products/cloudflare-workers/
It is less than ideal to use Google tag manager to deploy JSON-LD to websites. It can be done but obviously it's not the best way.
just because it's not on the new search console yet does not mean that Google's structured data markup helper tool is obsolete.

Size of image for article Schema
Hi, I implemented schema markup for an article and all tested fine and I can see it being fired in preview mode of Google Tag Manager. But when I run the URL which has it applied through Google Structured Testing tool it is not appearing. I have now read that the image needs to be a certain size. For AMP articles this appears to be 12oo pixels wide http://www.thesempost.com/google-changes-image-size-requirements-amp-articles/ But what about non-AMP articles? Does it need to be that big too?

Problems with WooCommerce Product Attribute Filter URL's
I am running a WordPress/WooCommerce site for a client, and Moz is picking up some issues with URL's generated from WooCommerce product attribute filters. For example: ..co.uk/womens-prescription-glasses/?filter_gender=mens&filter_style=full-rim&filter_shape=oval How do I get Google to ignore these filters?

Schema Markup Errors - Priority or Not?
Greetings All... I've been digging through the search console on a few of my sites and I've been noticing quite a few structured data errors. Most of the errors are related to: hcard, hentry and hatom. Most of them are missing author & entry-title, while the other one is missing: fn. I recently saw an article on SEL about Google's focus on spammy mark-up. The sites I use are built and managed by vendors, so I would have to impress upon them the impact of these errors and have them prioritize, then fix them. My question is whether or not this should be prioritized? Should I have them correct these errors sooner than later or can I take a phased approach? I haven't noticed any loss in traffic or anything like that, I'm more focused on what negative impact a "phased approach" could have. Any thoughts?

Duplicate content on Product pages for different product variations.
I have multiple colors of the same product, but as a result I'm getting duplicate content warnings. I want to keep these all different products with their own pages, so that the color can be easily identified by browsing the category page. Any suggestions?

How do I handle duplicate content of the same product in Multiple product categories?
I am building a BigCommerce store for selling framed art. Many of the pieces of art will fall in more than one product category. Let's say I have a framed print of a photograph of a western landscape. This piece of art would fit into these categories; "western", "landscape", and "photography". I would have three pages with duplicate content for just this one framed print. Will google give me less page rank due to this? Can all the link juice be given to just one of the three categories by use of rel=canonical? If so, does anyone know how to do this for a bigcommerce site? I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Kelly
