FAQ Schema Markup
-
I was wondering which blog posts would qualify for an FAQ Schema markup. For instance, we have a blog post which is more like a Q&A interview with our customer where our product gets mentioned several times. Would we get dinged for including our product name in the markup? First of all does that kind of blog posts even qualify for the markup?
Example of the blog post: https://www.revulytics.com/blog/qa-techsmith-snagit-strategy-lead-daniel-foster

when you're having your website designed, whether it's WordPress or different type of CMS, do add schema to your website,

Any page that has a question and answer format can be written up with the schema mentioned. It doesn't matter if it's a blog post per se or an actual FAQ page. Markup is just markup. That doesn't mean it will show up in Google's results. The page you submitted is eligible for rich snippets. The markup looks good. I personally use "QAPage" vs "FAQPage" but the code is good and has been run through Google's tester. See link.
I've only been doing the markup for a few months but on the site that I do have snippets, it's for questions that are actually searched for in Google and typically they show up in Google's autocomplete results. Not to say that other forms of questions can't but I've only had success with higher search volume phrases for my site. I also found that the shorter the question phrase the better chance they had to show up. Our FAQ page has 25 Qs and As and only 5 of them show up in rich snippets. We also have a domain authority of 62 so I'm not sure if that helps either. Again, this is mostly anecdotal and not empirical.
Hope it helps.

Our question is Could we combine this redirects in htaccess with a Schema redirect with 301 code? (Is it the same to use schema redirecs as using redirects in htaccess?) This would be the situation: Htaccess redirects: A http url ->301-> B http url -> (we change this in htaccess and use:)-> A http url ->301->B https url Schema redirect: B http url ->301-> B https url Thanks!0 -

Best Schema Advice
Hi, I am new here and I have searched for but not got a definitive answer for this. I am sorting out a website which is a scaffolding company operating in a particular area. They are only interested in targeting a particular area and from what I have read through here I need to mark the site up with schema mentioning their company name and address. My issue is that I seem to find lots of conflicting advice about what should go it and how it should be laid out. I would love to know peoples opinions on where the best guide for setting up schema correctly for a site like this. They use wordpress, I am ok with inserting code to the site etc, I just want to make sure I get it right from the start. Once I have done this, I understand that I need to get local citations using the same NAP as how the site is marked up. Sorry for what might seem like a daft question but I am a designer and I am still learning the ins and outs of SEO. Thanks

Schema.org Review for Person
I'm trying to make some sense of Google's rich snippets and microdata/Schema.org. Wondering if it's allowed to have reviews or an aggregateReview for a Person, rather than a Thing, Product or Place. Of course, a Person is a Thing, but when I try to validate my markup with Google's Structured Data Testing Tool, it tells me: Warning: Page contains property "aggregaterating" which is not part of the schema. Anyone have any ideas here?

Opengraph or Schema.org - What is your preference?
Just wondering whether Mozzer's have a preference when marking up rich snippets. I have just added Opengraph as per a Whiteboard Friday presentation suggesting that Google will use the meta data as well as schema, mainly for purposes of socially sharing the website details, and I have also used Schema for marking up an address, telephone number, and email. Is this the right way to do things? What are your thoughts?

Why isn't Google pushing my Schema data to the search results page
I believe we have it set up right. I'm noticing all my competitors schema data is showing up which is really giving them a leg up on us. We have a high ranking website so I'm just not sure why it's now showing up. Here is an example URL http://www.airgundepot.com/3576w.html I've used the Google webmaster tools tester and it all looks fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
