What is the best structured data for my website
-
We have 10:branches for our agency where we are looking to attract local businesses to use our marketing services,
should each landing page have structured data for ‘local business’? Any advice would be helpful

Structured data is a standardized format of code that is added to a web page. It communicates specific information about a page to Google. This makes it easier for search engines to crawl and index your content faster. In other words, it provides the context search engines need to properly categorize your site and recommend it more accurately for relevant search queries.
Google is using this data to make their search engine more accurate by creating a knowledge graph. This graph is an interconnected map of entities that follows the relationship between different terms, facts, data, dates, and more. This allows Google to go from keyword matching to a context-rich search engine, capable of differentiating the Taj Mahal monument from the Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City.
What it means for SEOs is that Google has given you a way to introduce your client’s brands and companies into their knowledge graph, making them real objects Google knows about and can recommend to users.

Yes You Can Add Data Structure On The Different Pages Of Your Site You May Vist My Site To Check Data Structure
-
Yes, i'm agree with Martijn Scheijbeler. He is saying absolutely right. I'm using structured data on homepage in my Best Office Chairs site. And it is good for site health. You should try to use structured data on homepage.
-
Not necessarily, what you can do is point the rest of the pages to the LocalBusiness structured data that is just on your homepage for example. That way it saves you from loading additional markup on every other page. Other Structured Data markup that I would always look into is BreadCrumbList, Organization, Website, WebPage, ItemList as most sites qualify easily for those.

Is This a Misuse of Structured Data (JSON Recipe Tag on Collection Pages)?
I've noticed that many food blogs use the "recipe" tag to rank collection pages in carousels. For example, for the search term "Zucchini Recipe," Gaumenfreundin is in the first position in the carousel with a page that contains multiple recipes. This makes sense if the user intent is plural (e.g., "recipes") - but in the singular? According to Google's guidelines, the recipe tag is intended for individual recipes. Google even states that it is a misuse if only the ingredients are listed without the steps. So, isn't it against the guidelines to tag a collection page (even additionally) with the recipe tag? This practice is already common in the US market. Is Google aware of this and possibly tolerating it because it sometimes makes sense to present multiple recipes to the user? For example, "Zucchini Recipe" - the user might not yet know exactly what they want to cook with zucchini. Or do you think Google will take action against this practice in the future?

Anyone come accross a completely random site name displayed in the SERPs?
Hello SEO friends, I am looking at a site that has a completely random site name displayed in the serps. The site in question is a hypnotherapy service and the site name is displaying as a commercial cargo airline! See the screen shot. Any ideas? There is 'local business' structured data on the site and it IS showing the correct business name. Is this a hack? Negative SEO attack? Random Google stuff up? Help! Very confused!

Transitioning to from Brick and Mortar to Service Area Best Practices
Hi. I am a solo practitioner in a healthcare field. I have had a traditional office for 4 years but have been working virtually since March 2020 . I have decided to give up my office space completely and make an attempt at running my practice virtually. Can anyone share the best practices for making this transition from an SEO perspective? I currently rank between 2nd to 4th for most of my local keywords (so, in the GMB 3-pack). I will be competing against brick and mortar businesses. Is it even realistic to think I can hang onto my current rankings? I have researched virtual addresses and ruled them out. I have considered searching for someone in my industry and/or a landlord who will accept a small fee in exchange for allowing me to use their address on my website and in GMB, but I'm unsure about this as it seems like a rather unstable arrangement and the shared office space aspect may present a problem with google As of now my plan is to change my address in GMB to my home address, which I will hide, and remove the street address from my website, but maintain the rest of the NAP. I will then create targeted pages for the three primary counties I serve. I have also decided to advertise a limited number of home visit options for clients in my home county in order to maintain an in-person component to the business. Does anyone have any suggestions to improve upon this course of action? As for my current local citations, should I just leave them as is (with outdated address), attempt to remove the street address but retain the rest of the NAP, or something else? Any feedback is appreciated.

Meaningful analytic benchmarks and insights for 100+ websites?
Hey all! I work for an association that has over 100+ member businesses. These businesses are dispersed through out North America and each have their own website, totally independent of each other in look, feel, functionality, etc.. While most of these businesses offer the same core businesses such as a gym, summer camp and preschool, none of the website structures, calls to actions, etc. are the same. I have a feeling that there could be some interesting and meaningful analytics that I could pull together if I had access to all their Google Analytics accounts, but I'm not quite sure what they would be. Some ideas I have - 1 - Percentage of traffic from social media - will give insight as to which businesses in the association are using social successfully. 2 - New vs. Returning traffic - a high percentage of returning traffic might be indicative of more useful websites. 3 - Mobile usage - How mobile savvy are the customers of different businesses in the association. Any other analytics (and quite frankly, more meaningful/impactful than the ones I posted above) that you guys can think of? Thanks for your help! Chris

What is The Best Way to Rank in Multiple Countries?
Hi, I have a client that would like to rank in google.ie as well as .co.uk and in the middle east and possibly other parts of Europe. What is the best way to go about this? Would a new domain for each country be best and hosted in that specific country or is there a way to do this with one site? Bearing in mind that SEO will need to be done to rank in each country. Many Thanks.
