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

Duplicate Title Tags/Meta Tags for Website with Multiple Locations
I currently have an insurance website that has over 40 offices in Ontario. The site also provides online quoting.
On-Page Optimization | | MainstreamMktg
In some of our programming, we have implemented variables in the URLS that will allow the quotes to go to the specific city offices - the issue I am having is that the quote in itself is the same quote form (same title, same meta) because it's technically one page on the website. We did it this way to avoid having to update 40 forms if a field on the form were to change. Is there any way I can relieve my site of this duplicate title tag/meta tag issue? Any insight would be really appreciated - thanks so much!0 -

SEO Location Pages - ALT Image Tag Question
Hello Guru's, I have a Hire Website whereby you can rent products online. I have created different Location pages for these which are in essence the same pages page but with different location specific urls, title tags , on page content etc etc. This helps me to rank for local search. These location pages also display 20 products per page. My question is Should I make the ALT IMAGE TEXT location specific for each of the 20 products . Example - Steam Cleaner Rental in "location" or should I only amend a few of the Atl Image Texts to be location specific. I don't want to come accross as spammy in google eyes but I also don't want to be seen as having duplicate content , images etc etc What do you think ? thanks Sarah.

Excessive Internal Links & links to same location
Hi, When Google is counting internal links on a page and it comes across two links to the same url, do both of the links count towards Excessive Internal Links? The reason I ask is that on our website we allow users to navigate through the website in different ways (either by dropdown menus or side menu or through breadcrumbs); which cause some links to appear multiple times on the same page. Any thoughts? K.

Only showing googlebot schema.org tagged content - cloaking??
Would it be considered cloaking if I only show schema.or tagged content to searchengine bots and not to regular visitors. Mind you, no other change on the page, design or content. So instead of Googlebot would be served: 41 Main Street Regular visitors: 41 Main Street
