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.

Discontinued Product on a Ecommerce site
To create a better customer experience, rather then remove discontinued product from a site, we remove many links from the page, and remove it from the navigation of the site, but we keep the url and show that the product can no longer be purchased. This keeps the links, keeps the content, and gives customers the opportunity to find other products we have. But I often wonder if we should allow this items to just 404 and be done with them. Here is an example. http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-dyn-bm5a-list. Any advice?

Weird problems with google's rich snippet markup
Once upon a time, our site was ranking well and had all the markups showing up in the results. We than lost some of our rankings due to dropped links and not so well kept maintenance. Now, we are gaining up the rankings again, but the markups don't show up in the organic search results. When we Google site:oursite.com, the markups show up, but not in the organic search. There are no manual actions against our site. any idea why this would happen?

Schema markup for products is missing "price": Is this bad?
Hey guys, So a current client of mine has an e-commerce shop with a few hundred products. They purposely choose to keep the prices off of their website, which is causing errors in Google Webmaster Tools. Basically the error shows: Error: Structured Data > Product (markup: schema.org) Error type: missing price 208 items with error Is this a huge deal? Or are we allowed to have non-numerical prices for schema ie. "call for quote"

Schema.org Review for Person
I'm trying to make some sense of Google's rich snippets and microdata/Schema.org. Wondering if it's allowed to have reviews or an aggregateReview for a Person, rather than a Thing, Product or Place. Of course, a Person is a Thing, but when I try to validate my markup with Google's Structured Data Testing Tool, it tells me: Warning: Page contains property "aggregaterating" which is not part of the schema. Anyone have any ideas here?

Would having the same paragraph on every product page be bad?
I am trying to figure out if having the same paragraph on every product would be a bad thing. I know it would be bad to have the same description on every product, but this isn't a description it is a helpful paragraph stating this: Having trouble finding the wheelchair part you need? Please call us at 1-800-328-5343 or fill out the (Link)Wheelchair Parts Request Form(Link). One of our friendly customer service representatives will be happy to help you. Or would it be best to just have the "wheelchair parts request form" Link on every page Or would it be best to have neither and try putting that in a higher category making it on one page instead of every product page?

Schema for Services
There are many schemas for products, but I don't see any for services. They have intangible offers, but it's still for selling a product. I contacted Schema.org an no response. Here is the schema: http://schema.org/Offer So my question for someone who sells a service: What is the schema for a service like insurance, shipping, financial services?
