Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Peter Nikolow,

Did you find something from the URL provided by me?

Thanks!

Hello again,

Okay, here comes the URL: yourlawoffice(dot)com

Hi Peter,

I appreciate your response.

Firstly, you said incidentally click something somewhere - If it would be the case, then it should be the case with few websites not with all of them so I am pretty sure, I didn't do something wrong with the plugin or wp coding.

Second thing you said and I am already aware that rich snippets are not guaranteed even if you used the schema correctly. The tricky part I noticed is that google is showing the date when the homepage was published in search results instead where it shows stars for other websites. It made me think that schema is working fine from google point of view but it is focused towards showing date instead of stars. And this is working for homepage so I am not worried if homepage could be the issue.

Any other idea?

Thanks!

To add something useful info in this thread: I checked the website in https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ and it shows Okay.

Thanks!

Hello,

I have All in One Schema.org Rich Snippets plugin installed on my WP websites for the star snippets to show up in google search results. I used the Item Review property in this plugin for the homepage and under Reviewer’s Name (added name of author), Item to be reviewed (added brand/business name) and Your Rating (of course 5 :)).

Now, the problem occurring is that instead of stars showing up in search results, the date when the respective page was published is showing up in search results. This is happening with all the websites I added plugin in.

Am I doing something wrong or what is happening. Please help as i want those stars to show up on the websites. Please help me with any plugin or useful info that can help me with this.

Thanks!

Hello All,

Thanks for replying.

I am already using a tracking number but the problem is if you call the business on our tracking number, it rings over 10-12 times before it’s picked up. This results in a large number of callers not leaving a message or just hanging up.

About how to answer, the nature of business is independent of where the call came from. The only thing matters is the call but as I said I am using tracking number and I cannot replace that service provider.

Further, as per the responses, I think it would be bad to put the same number. Is there any other solution?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I have number of websites in different locations with different business name and address with verified listings. However, I am thinking to use the same phone number on all the websites as it is difficult for me to keep track of all the numbers.

So, is it okay to use the same phone number on different websites with different business name and address?

Waiting for your thoughts.

Hi all,

Adding something new here.

After your valuable suggestions, I called google and requested them to merge both the listings instead of closing one and using another (it helped a lot in ranking as well) but one day I incidentally found that I have another listing with same www.xyz.com website URL and address but different business name (not sure how much mess i am supposed to clean).

Then I called google again and this time they said it is not possible to merge this. So I asked them to delete the listing. But I noticed that the day after I deleted that listing, there was drop in ORGANIC RANKING for many of the keywords. In addition to this, I added some new pages in the website as well during same time.

What do you think might have affected my website's organic ranking this time? Deleting listing or adding new pages or both?

Please help!

Thanks Donna and Miriam for answering the queries. Can you tell me how to rank it organically then?

Hello all,

First of all thanks for answering my previous queries. Now, I have one more query and I am hoping to get best possible answers from you guys.

Query:

I have one business which is located in one city only and I have a verified listing there (I am ranking good in that city). However, I want to rank the same business page in couple of other cities as well. What should I do considering that I cannot create a new listing for other cities because I have my office in single location only?

Looking forward to answers.

Brian

Great information, Miriam. Thanks!

Hello Dmitrii, Thanks for replying! This is because of the reviews I have on 2nd one, I removed the first one!

Is there anything I can do to get the 2nd showing up?

Hello,

I had 2 google+ business pages. But the website under those pages were different. For example, www.abc.com on 1st one and then www.xyz.com on 2nd one. Both of them had the different business name and website but same address and phone number. Also, www.abc.com domain was set as redirecting to www.xyz.com.

My 1st business page was ranking good but I wanted to use 2nd one only so I called up google and asked them to remove the 1st one and then they closed it. Now, the problem is that I lost the 1st one and 2nd one is not ranking for any of the keyword (I have checked all the pages in the SERP and it doesn't show up anywhere until last page). I have fixed all the citations everywhere recently but no luck in getting ranking.

Can anyone suggest what steps can be done to rank 2nd one now? FYI, I am talking about local places ranking, the domain www.xyz.com is ranked well in organic ranking.

Any help is appreciated!

Brian

Thanks a lot Miriam!

Hello,

One of my client has business in 5 different locations so he has URL's like: "www.abc.com/city-service" for which he has listing verified in each location. I can certainly say that Google Business allow sub pages URL in citations (correct me if I am wrong).

I am not sure if it is possible to use the sub URL's like: www.abc.com/city-service in different citations websites? Also, if this would be a good approach or not?

Please help me.

I added  Schema Creator by Raven and it worked. Thanks dave for your help. However, it has lot of fields as compared to all in one. Can you please explain how should I go on filling the text fields for Review Schema Type in this plugin? and what is the importance of each. Thanks in advance for this help

Sorry to say but this plugin really helps with rich snippets because it seems to have different functioning? Please correct me if i am wrong

Does anyone know how much internal linking is helpful in ranking? And, what is the recommended amount of internal links in a page of the website? I have seen some websites adding so much internal links ranking good but not sure about the recommended amount.

Hello,

I installed "all in one schemeraorg rich snippets" for my wordpress site but it messed up my website design so I deactivated it. Is there any other best plugin available with same functions and features? Or if there is any other best way to do this?

Please help as this plugin worked fine with one of my other website. Any help is appreciated?

Since EMD updates, we haven't dropped rank at all. I'm aware of the topics on EMD, but it's been great for a certain client in a city the size of 450k. Very competitive KWd space too. In fact, we combined two of the highest searched keywords and made a single domain. The end result: this client gets calls all day long (tracking number) another thing your not supposed to do. This sites been stuck on Spot A in maps and #1 SEO results. Beyond citation done our way and good On page...no links. Go figure....
