Schema.org wrong display in SERP
-
Hi, and happy new year!
I tagged our new platform with schema.org: website+application software. There's also "reviews". Those reviews use datepublished microdata. However it seems that this info is used as a date for the page...
Search for "logiciel cesar" with Google.fr, and the page is https://www.caplogiciel.com/logiciel/cesar
Here's a screenshot of the result: https://www.evernote.com/l/AN29vPn0PFNJdINZtA9QU6x_tmoq99c8D3AWhat did I do wrong? I checked other websites which are well displayed on Google and they use the same microdata...
Thanks. Best,
Benoit.

Google testing tool seems to be showing a Software Application schema but not the reviews. When I pull out just the review source code, it's saying that the item being reviewed is missing. Honestly, though, trouble-shooting these can be tricky sometimes. I'd check the tool, though, and just take a look at the errors:
https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/
It is possible to have the schema correct and still not get reviews, though, if Google simply decides not to display reviews for that SERP. I'm not seeing anyone with reviews for the first give pages of that query, so that's a solid sign that this may be more than just mark-up. Google seems to ramp up and scale back which queries get reviews all the time, and there's no way to track that (other than their presence/absence). Most you can do is double-check the code and hope for the best.
Sorry, I know that's not a very satisfying answer.

Wrong target content within the SERP regarding language
Hi everyone I'm currently under an SEO issue and wish some advices about it. My problem is that, Google doesn't show the great pages within the SERPs regarding the languages. In fact, I translated some content in Italian, German, French etc ... When someone use the branding name of the project to seek out it by google, if this guy is French, German, music or something else, Google shows English version within the results. I in fact would really like google showing the German version for a German guy within the SERP ... I already made properly my hreflang tags. Some tips to repair it? Thanks tons in advance!

Date Display
Hi Mozers, Is there any benefit of having the date that the content was updated displayed at the very top of a content page rather than at the bottom? Would this impact our EAT? Thanks,

Meta-description issue in SERPs for different countries
I'm working with a US client on the SEO for their large ecommerce website, I'm working on it from the UK. We've now optimised several of the pages including updating the meta-descriptions etc. The problem is when I search on the keyword iin the UK I see the new updated version of the meta-description in SERPs results. BUT when my client searches on the same keyword in the US they're see the old version of the meta-description. Does any one have any idea why this is happening and how we can resolve it? Thanks Tanya

Need a layman's definition/analogy of the difference between schema and structured data
I'm currently writing a blog post about schema. However I want to set the record straight that schema is not exactly the same as structured data, although both are often used interchangeably. I understand this schema.org is a vocabulary of global identifiers for properties and things. Structured data is what Google officially stated as "a standard way to annotate your content so machines can understand it..." Does anybody know of a good analogy to compare the two? Thanks!

Correct Schema Markup
Hello, I've been having some markup issues and need some help. I researched what would be the best Business type and used that markup on the website. But when I check it in the testing tool I get this http://screencast.com/t/vtlfn2MNPKf It doesn't recognize the object type. Could this be an error with my website or the markup its self? Please advise Thanks
