Schema LocalBusiness for multiple store locations
-
Hello,
I want to add LocalBusiness mark up to our store pages.
I recently read this article https://moz.com/blog/structured-data-for-seo-2
One piece of advice I wanted to confirm is this section:
- It might seem counter-intuitive, but organization and LocalBusiness markup should only be used on the pages which are actually about your business (e.g. homepage, about page, and/or contact page).
I am working on an e-commerce site that has multiple stores and a store page for each. Currently there is Organization Mark Up (with the head office contact information) on every single page.
Am I right in saying that we should remove the Organization Mark Up from every page except the homepage, then add LocalBusiness mark up to each store page with the relevant contact information for each store?
Many thanks in advance.

yes it is possible for your [web developers]https://www.wandpmarketing.co.uk/() to add schema markup,
-
That's what I would do! I'd also keep scanning implementation with Google's schema tool to check for errors

Thank you for your reply.
Just to clarify, there is only one website with multiple store locations. e.g.
www.onlineshop.com/Glasgow-store
www.onlineshop.com/Edinburgh-store
So, I will have Organization Mark-up on the homepage www.onlineshop.com
Then, I will have LocalBusiness Mark-up on the store pages listed above?

The steps you have suggested seem correct to me. You are right not to plaster your whole site(s) with the specified schema, as it could lead to rich-snippet spam penalties. The homepage for each store makes the most sense, you could also include the contact pages if you wanted to

Schema Question
I had ratings stars appearing on my site and recently started using the sale event schema, but the two won't show up at the same time, so the rating stars have now disappeared and have been replaced by sale event data. When looking around for more info I found the attached example which shows both appearing at the same time - however upon trying to replicate this myself with that same site I can't get both to appear. Does anyone know if it's possible for both schema data properties to appear in the results at the same time? save.png

Adding Location to Title Tags has dropped SEO Rankings
After adding the suburb of my business to each title tag on my website, I've noticed their rankings have dropped from page one to page four in a lot of cases. Should I wait it out and expect to see them improve in the future? Should I revert them back to their old title tags? I'm a little concerned!

Multiple page rank - harm or good?
Can someone explain this to me, as I just ranked a page on our website and intended to do the same for 3 other pages. our home page is currently ranked well, but after reading this (below from Moz) I'm concerned if i'm doing more harm then good. I just ranked the page 3 days ago, I haven't seen any drops yet. When multiple pages with the potential to rank well are combined into a single page, they not only stop competing with each other, but also create a stronger relevancy and popularity signal overall. This will positively impact your ability to rank well in the search engines. Thanks in advance, Lauren.

Multiple keywords over multiple domains - am I missing the point?
This I think, is a conceptual question related to Moz/ KeywordTracking in general. Q: What is a "good" way to setup tracking for keywords across many pages, potentially multiple domains? At present I've identified some keywords that are relevant to our products. That leads me to want to track not just for a specific page, but for their rankings across multiple pages, and potentially at least two domains. One site is our main product site, the other a blog/info site. This is I suppose mostly discovery at this point. Working out what, if any, of our pages are ranking for a full set of keywords that we believe are related to our products. It may be that I'm completely missing the point of tracking, that I'm not using it as intended. I want to learn how our pages track currently (for a bunch of keywords), see that change over time as we make changes, and also visualise what we're strong in and what we're not. To me, this would let me see just where the holes are in our SEO easily. The reason I ask is that it seems I have to manually enter a keyword plus a webpage in Moz. Given I've 20-30 keywords I want to track many pages, this is going to take me "quite some time" (tm). Is there a better way to do what I describe here? Am I missing the point of keyword tracking?

Multiple domains
I have a client, (for example Henry Jewelers) who likes to advertise their site as www.henry.com, but their main site resides on HenryJewelers.com. If www.henry.com has a permanent redirect to henryjewelers.com, are the two sites impacted negatively from a SEO standpoint?

Multiple Sizes of eCommerce Product Best Practice
I sell a product that comes in 9 different sizes, two materials, and two different shapes. People often search for this product by size, material and shape as follows: #9 material1 square widget #5 material2 circle widget The dilemma I'm facing is should I create 1 page for each of these products resulting in 36 different pages, or should I create one page that the users can select size shape and material? I'm thinking that from a usability stance, the 36 different pages are easier to navigate and determine price on, but I'm afraid that going the route that is easier for the customer to use in this case could hurt me duplicate content wise. I'm all about making a good user experience, but don't want to hurt myself because the content on all 9 sizes is basically the same. Are images of the product enough to be considered non-duplicate content? I also list out the dimensions of each product, but beyond that there isn't much to delineate the content. My plan is to create one page with all the content that relates to all of the products as a top level page with links to the individual products broken down, but just wanted to get some feedback from you guys before making the effort.
