Schema Markup for property list
-
My Client has a Real Estate directory with many landing pages for specific properties and locations, example:
https://www.laguiainmobiliaria.com.mx/casas-en-venta-queretaro/
This landing page is a list of New Houses in Queretaro.
The properties appear dynamically, because this landing pages works trough a WP Query. So the list changes every week.
We are preparing each listing to have a Product Markup as trulia. But what would be the appropiate markup for the list of properties?
An itemlist markup seems imposible because the list is dynamical, so maybe Markup as an article? in the description: List of houses in Queretaro?

Hi Roman,
Ok great, you're at least also of the opinion that bigger sites will need an actual implementation. I want to make sure to at least mention these articles too, to not give people the idea that they should all go ahead to implement it through GTM, as it's still not a recommended way to go:
- https://www.upbuild.io/blog/dont-use-gtm-for-structured-data/
- http://www.thesempost.com/google-dont-rely-google-tag-manager-structured-data/
- https://www.seroundtable.com/google-google-tag-manager-seo-24984.html (see the Tweets mentioned in this article, it's based on John Muellers reply to my Tweet about all the down sides of implementing GTM for structured data).

Google Tag Manager is a tool which can easily add scripts or pieces of code to a page.
You can use Google Tag Manager to implement Google Analytics and create, for instance, events.There are several advantages to using Google Tag Manager to implement structured data. The most important one is that it allows you to generate tags, triggers, and variables, which means that you can apply the same code again and again on different pages. In the end, this will save you a lot of work. Google Tag Manager also features a preview mode, which allows you to check whether you successfully implemented your data immediately.

I usually use GTM+Schemas and it works for me. If you have to implement it manually on a small website its ok. But in a website with 5000 listing pages, well, in my opinion, does not make sense.

Google Tag Manager? Which is not recommended by Google at all for structured data implementations?
Look into itemList in combination with Product Schema.org, what you could do here is make sure that the template in WordPress has this embedded in the code. So, in that case, you'll make sure that the content is marked up in the right way and you don't have to worry about it when you have content that is being deleted/updated/removed.

Hi Trazo
First, you need to keep in mind that not all the schemas available can be implemented. So you need to focus on those schemas that are supported by Google, Bing, Yahoo, Facebook and so on.
- Introduction to Structured Data (Google)
- Marking up your site: Overview (Bing)
- A Guide to Sharing for Webmasters (Facebook)
So the first thing that you need to do is read the documentation above.
In the second place, you will need to figure out to implement. Add a plugin in your case is not an option at all. If you are going to work on a few pages you can use it. But if you need to deal with a large number of pages and listing you cannot scale if every day more and more content is added to your site.
So the best way that I found to deal with this type of schemas implementation is using Google Tag Manager.
So you will create a template for every schema that you want to implement and insert the code dynamically based on your needs. Also, this allows you to have control over all your schemas in a single place.
I hope this info helps you.
Regards

Events Schema
Hey all, I'm looking to use some schema to publicise an upcoming event. I can't make any sense of the Schema website for this section (http://schema.org/event). Can anyone help with drafting some schema? Or point me to an illustration of an example? Cheers, Rhys

Google live blog schema
Live blog markup was rolled out to a selected group of publishers last year 2015. I'm trying to find out whether it has been released to other publishers yet (we are a news site). Not seeing any updates about it anywhere and wondering how I can find out if/when it will be available. This is the latest I can see which is not much help https://developers.google.com/search/pilot/open/live-blogs. Any insider info would be very much appreciated.

Mobile Brand Markup Question
Hi Moz Community, I was searching for "Gifts for men" in Google Search on my phone and saw a few results in the 3rd (Nordstrom), 4th (Etsy) and 5th(Grommet) place that had their brand name in the area under the title tag where the green url is usually listed on desktop. One example of the green text under the title tag is Nordstrom which lookes like this: Nordstrom > Shop > Gifts Whereas the first result from UncommonGoods looks like this in the green text: www.uncommongoods.com > by recipient I'm trying to figure out what markup Nordstrom, Etsy, ect used on their site to get their brand name to show up not as a url but as a brandname Anyone know the answer to this? Thanks!

Best practice for cleaning up multiple Google Places listings and multiple Google accounts when logins were lost.
We are an inbound marketing agency, most of our clients are not relying on local seo. I have a pretty good understanding of it when starting fresh but not so much in joining a "movie in progress" kind of scenario. Recently we've brought on two clients who have had their websites in place for awhile, have made small attempts at marketing themselves online over the years and its resulted in multiple Google places listings, variations of the company names (one of them changed their name), worried there are yet more accounts out there they aren't aware of, etc (analytics, and others from well intentioned employees and past service providers - no internal leadership at the company level). In reading Google help forums I'm seeing some recently having their accounts suspended when they try to clean things up - in one case a person setup a new Google account thinking he would start fresh and in trying to claim listings, get rid of duplicates, etc. his account was suspended. What is the CURRENT recommended course of action in situations like these? With all the changes going on with Google, I don't know which route to take and have combed the Internet reading articles about this (including Google's resources) - would like some current real world advise.

Product microdata from Schema.org
An article (http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2011/11/18/step-up-your-e-commerce-seo-game-with-product-microdata.aspx?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter) is claiming that using this product micro data (http://schema.org/Product) might help product pages rank better. Do you have any experience using these tags and would it be worth the time to implement these on a site with 1000's of products? Would it make sense to selectively implement them on specific products that actually have a good chance of ranking high instead?

Schema.org
Hola Is there any consensus as yet as to whether people plan to use schema.org as the content markup standard rather than RDFa and microformats? There are some arguments flying around about the benefits and disbenefits, but the pragmatic answer to this question IMHO lies in how many people take this up rather than any arguments on what is best. Thanks to any and all who reply. Thanks Neil
