      Hello, can we have the FAQ code on the homepage (staff time)?

      we have written some questions and answers in the drop-down list on the homepage,

      and also add the schema code script to one tag of the page,

      but it does not work!

        Yes, If you have a portion of FAQ's on homepage you can add faq schema to it. It will help in rich snippet.

          Yes you could absolutely. However I think you mark up is excellent for a lot of things it’s not known for driving traffic. Just so your aware google tells us ”

          • Don’t use FAQPage for advertising purposes.”

          I doubt your homepage would count but you never now in addition FAQ content turns to get clicked on very seldomly.

          Because the answers to the questions are found in the SERPS people do not have to leave Google to find the answers

          I know taking up more googles real estate sounds good like a featured snippet but not if your customer only cares about the answers & Google is already providing them. Which FAQ does extremely well.

          below I tested your page tested as well as a mock up of inappropriately marked up page hopefully this will be of help

          also below are what Google considers valid and invalid reasons for FAQ schema

          look at the top of the page for errors some of your fonts aren’t loading

          https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=0jC1yqgkMNkla7J3F6fEVQ

          here’s an example of what it might look like with the correct FAQ markup

          https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=zV3BwNJPTbbEsXOj3e3Asg

          See:

          One of my favorite tools for generating structured data in JSON-LD  FAQ is built-in.

          https://www.rankranger.com/schema-markup-generator

          https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/search-gallery

          test using

          https://search.google.com/test/rich-results

           

          • Valid use cases:

            • An FAQ page written by the site itself, with no way for users to submit alternative answers
            • A product support page that lists FAQs, with no way for users to submit alternative answers

            Invalid use cases:

            • A forum page where users can submit answers to a single question
            • A product support page where users can submit answers to a single question
            • A product page where users can submit multiple questions and answers on a single page
          • Don’t use FAQPage for advertising purposes.

          • Make sure each Question includes the entire text of the question and make sure each Answer includes the entire text of the answer. The entire question text and answer text may be displayed.

          • Question and answer content may not be displayed as a rich result if it contains any of the following types of content: obscene, profane, sexually explicit, graphically violent, promotion of dangerous or illegal activities, or hateful or harassing language.

          • All FAQ content must be visible to the user on the source page.

          hope this helps,

          Tom

            Can Schema handle two sets of business hours?

            I have a client who, due to covid, will have two sets of business hours. Morning hours for business customers, and afternoon hours for general customers. Is it possible to designate this distinction in schema?

            How important is it to add hyphens between words in URL Permalink Structure?

            We have an issue with our URL Permalink Structures for dynamically generated pages on our website. As we generated hundreds of pages, it does not automatically Space the Words in the Permalink Structure . For example, if we have a product name  Under Armour Fire Basketball Shoe , it will show up in the url as: "mywebsite.com/underarmourfire-basketballshoe" vs "mywebsite.com/under-armour-fire-basketball-shoe" How important is it that the URL includes these spaces between each word in the permalink?

            Can subdomains avoid spam penalizations?

            Hello everyone, I have a basic question for which I couldn't find a definitive answer for. Let's say I have my main website with URL: www.mywebsite.com And I have a related affiliates website with URL: affiliates.mywebsite.com Which includes completely different content from the main website. Also, both domains have two different IP addresses. Are those considered two completely separate domains by Google? Can bad links pointing to affiliates.mywebsite.com affect www.mywebsite.com in any way? Thanks in advance for any answer to my inquiry!

            How can I stop spam Google Organic traffic?

            Hey Moz, I'm a rather experienced SEO who just encountered a problem I have never faced. I am hoping to get some advice or be pointed in the right direction. I just started work for a new client. Really great client and website. Nicer than most design/content. They will need some rel canonical work but that is not the issue here. The traffic looked great at first glance 131k visits in April. Google Analytics Acquisition Overview showed 94% of the traffic as organic. When I dug deeper and looked at the organic source I saw that Google was 99.9% of it. Normal enough. Then I looked at the time on site and my jaw dropped. 118,454 Organic New Users for Google only stayed on the site for 3 seconds. There is no way that the traffic is real. It does not match what Google Webmaster tools, Moz, and Ahrefs are telling me. How do I stop a service that is sending fake organic Google traffic?

            Can I tell Google to Ignore Parts of a Page?

            Hi all, I was wondering if there was some sort of html trick that I could use to selectively tell a search engine to ignore texts on certain parts of a page. Thanks!

            Google is mixing subdomains. What can we do?

            Hi! I'm experiencing something that's kind of strange for me. I have my main domain let's say: www.domain.com. Then I have my mobile version in a subdomain: mobile.domain.com and I also have a german version of the website de.domain.com. When I Google my domain I have the main result linking to: www.domain.com but then Google mixes all the domains in the sites links. For example a Sing in may be linking mobile.domain.com, a How it works link may be pointing to de.domain.com, etc What's the solution? I think this is hurting a lot my position cause google sees that all are the same domain when clearly is not. thanks!!

            Can Google Read Text in Carousel

            so what is the best practice for getting Google to be able to read text that populates via JQuery in a carousel. If the text is originally display none, is Google going to be able to crawl it? Are there any limits to what Google can crawl when it comes to JavaScript and text? Or is it always better just to hardcopy the text on the page source?
