Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Kane, your link helped. Especially because it got me to discover http://www.productontology.org/!

Kane, I appreciate the feedback and I know realize that there are no specific properties for Residence or AppartmentComplex. One question about additionalType. Any input on finding the right RDFa syntax for that property?

Hi Kane, I appreciate the answer.

One additional question. Why are the properties listed at http://schema.org/Residence the same than the ones listed at http://schema.org/ApartmentComplex (while the latest one is a some kind of sub-type of the first one)?

Thanks,

Adrien O'Leary

I am looking for advices on how to best start adopting schema.org for an apartment rental site with more than one apartment per address.

I would like to get feedback and suggestions on my initial thoughts.

Here are the obvious ones:

1. http://schema.org/Place for the address of the building an apartment is in.
2. http://schema.org/ApartmentComplex for the unique page for each apartment.

Any thoughts or experiences you would like to share?

Thanks,

Adrien O'Leary

Matt, I appreciate the feedback and I'll keep you posted if we were to experiment with the options I've mentioned here... and I'm pretty sure that we will end up doing it the "right" way... even if the client is afraid to be penalized for updating her listings (with old names that were keyword rich) to her new brand name that doesn't contain any keyword. Time will tell!

Matt, I appreciate your answer... and I do agree with it 100%. Yet I wanted to discuss some avenues to give a business all chances to indicate to the engines - and to people - that some business names used in the past belong to them. An idea was to specify the old names as additional fields on Google Places. A different one was to use the branchOf or the brand attributes with microformats from schema.org - on the business site - to present old names as brands or subsidiaries. I'm curious. What would be your take on those points?

Hi,

Here is a quite simple question... that comes from a real life example.

When a local business, with one phone number and one business location, has been promoting itself with up to 4 different names over the years. How do you handle local SEO?

Do you try to update all pages (and directories) on the Web to the new name? Do you keep the existing records as they are and find some ways to show Google - and people - that those are all the same business?

Thanks,

Adrien O'Leary

Carlos, thanks for your super fast feedback. I know the elements you mention and my question was rather about what are the properties that are worth listing, both for SEO and conversions. In your experience, what are the attributes that one should see described on a good product-page?

Quick question about Schema.org for products. What are the properties you like to list on product-pages for an E-Commerce? Thanks.

Hi Nakul, thanks for your feedback.

What about the markup for multilingual content that could be used to indicate that the product-page with prices in GBP (at a certain URL) is the sister of the same product-page with prices in USD (at a different URL)? Wouldn't it help to get more "regional" traffic from Google?

Thanks.
