Is my Structured Data working?
-
Hello Everyone,
I had previously added Structured Data for reviews for my product pages, which worked, and has slightly bumped up CTRs.
Now, I am trying to get dates and locations to show up in the SERPs (Products are classes). Google's Structured Data Testing Tool shows that the data is being read without any errors, but I cannot seem to get them to show up in the preview (or actual SERPs).
If anyone could take a look and let me know if there is anything obvious I missed, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Close... you still have them all grouped into 1 event though.
You need to remove the [itemscopeitemtype="http://schema.org/Event"] from the and move it to the level (and repeat for each )

Hey guys,
Thanks for the input. I thought the problem might actually be tied to multiple locations having multiple events, so I made it multiple locations each with one date:
But no dice. We used to generate preview pages for each date and location for each product, but it generated tons of almost identical content. Do you have any examples of website that have done this successfully?
Anyone have advice on how to get dates and locations to show up in the SERPs?
Thanks

Hi
After looking at your site it would seem that you would be better off providing preview pages for each drop down location and even the date. This might mean lots of extra work to begin with, but would offer much better targeting and might add another beneficial layer of user experience.
I am fairly new to the application of structured data, so seeing what Oleg has already said is really helpful. Please share your results.

Doesn't look right...
Each event should only have 1 start date... looks like you grouped all of them together.
Look at this example and mimic it for each event date:
<divclass="event-wrapper"itemscopeitemtype="http: schema.org="" event"=""><divclass="event-date"itemprop="startdate"content="2013-09-14t21:30">Sat Sep 14
<divclass="event-title"itemprop="name">Typhoon with Radiation City
<divclass="event-venue"itemprop="location"itemscopeitemtype="http: schema.org="" place"=""><spanitemprop="name">The Hi-Dive
<divclass="address"itemprop="address"itemscopeitemtype="http: schema.org="" postaladdress"=""><spanitemprop="streetaddress">7 S. Broadway<spanitemprop="addresslocality">Denver,
<spanitemprop="addressregion">CO
<spanitemprop="postalcode">80209<divclass="event-time">9:30 PM
<spanitemprop="offers"itemscopeitemtype="http: schema.org="" offer"=""><divclass="event-price"itemprop="price">$13.00
<aitemprop="url"href="http: www.ticketfly.com="" purchase="" 309433"="">Tickets</aitemprop="url"href="http:></divclass="event-price"itemprop="price"></spanitemprop="offers"itemscopeitemtype="http:></divclass="event-time"></spanitemprop="postalcode"></spanitemprop="addressregion"></spanitemprop="addresslocality"></spanitemprop="streetaddress"></divclass="address"itemprop="address"itemscopeitemtype="http:></spanitemprop="name"></divclass="event-venue"itemprop="location"itemscopeitemtype="http:></divclass="event-title"itemprop="name"></divclass="event-date"itemprop="startdate"content="2013-09-14t21:30"></divclass="event-wrapper"itemscopeitemtype="http:>

For Google's Structured Data, should I change my listings from Product schema to Local Business schema?
I was reading Google's Structured Data spec, and I'm considering changing the schema of our listing pages from the Product schema to the Local Business schema. Is this a good idea? To give you a little more info, the pages that I'm classifying are listings for physical spaces that our website rents out for activities, such as meetings. Here's an example of a listing: https://www.peerspace.com/pages/listings/550ddcde2f352d0800fc186b Our goal is to add the proper schema.org tags to the page so that our spaces show up in local searches, such as "meeting space in San Francisco." The problem is that when we add location microdata (addressLocality, addressRegion, etc.) to our current "Product" schema, Google tells us that "Products" can't have a location. However, we aren't quite a "Local Business" either, since we don't publicly share our space's street addresses—only the space's neighborhood/city/state for privacy reasons. As a result, we get an error from Google's Structured Data Tool as a "Local Business" page because "streetAddress" is required for Local Businesses. Should we switch to the Local Business schema anyway, even though we get structured data errors for streetAddress? Or is it better not to include the location information in the microdata so that we don't have errors? Does Google penalize you for incomplete tags? Any input is appreciated!

How to set-up international URL structure for e-com shop?
Hi There We're currently running a successful international online store on a .com domain. We are located in Europe but most of our visitors are coming from the U.S. We display all the prices of our products in USD to all our customers. We are considering to set up multiple stores for different regions, so we can display different currencies per region, shipping methods, banners etc. We were thinking about the following set-up: eu.domainname.com (for EU excl. UK, currency €) uk.domainname.com (for UK, currency GBP) www.domainname.com (For rest of the world, currency $) All shops are in English. Would this be a good set-up? What should we take into account to avoid duplicate content? Kind regards Jerome

Preferred URL structure for directory pages?
Hi Moz-Mind, We've got a bunch of duplicate content issues in our directory of trucking-related businesses, caused by search terms that can appear in any order, (classic mistake). We're taking advantage of this our work on URLs to try to improve our URL structure, and I'm not sure which way I want to go. These are the options we're considering. What does the Moz-mind think of each of them? example.com/location-name/service-name example.com/service-name/location-name example.com/service-name-near-location-name For the moment location-name would be a city & state abbreviation, like atlanta-ga, (unless it's better to use something else). Since these are search URLs, it's also possible to add a distance restriction, and a keyword, to the search criteria. How do you suggest adding the distance restriction? example.com/service-name/location-name/50-miles example.com/service-name/within-50-miles/location-name example.com/service-name-within-50-miles-of-location-name And the keyword? example.com/service-name/location-name/keyword example.com/service-name/location-name/keyword/{actual-keyword} example.com/service-name-near-location-name/keyword Something else? I was leaning toward example.com/service-name/location-name/within-50-miles, but I thought of the /service-name-near-location-name/ and /service-name/within-50-miles-of/location-name options today and really like how they make sense both to computers and to people, not unlike example.com/GA/atlanta/service-name/50 I'm looking forward to hearing what the community thinks. There must be an established best practice for directories, but if it's kind of ugly I'd like to find an even better way, if possible. Thanks, John

Does SEO work?
Hello, I have a question which I really want to get to the bottom of. We are carrying out some SEO for a client. Im currently using the tools in Moz to help me with this. Im currently trying to target "Dentist Balham". We are following all the "rules" creating content, created a mobile friendly site etc. However the site that is coming top is www.balhamdentalcare.co.uk which carries non of the things we are doing, in fact a lot of the content is PDF downloads. They don't do well in the SERP Report compared to other sites. Its basically not a great site but its coming up first. Does any one think this can be beaten or does it just come down to the fact that they use "Balham" in the domain name? Thanks for your advice.
