Can you use Google tag manager to manage rich snippets/schema mark up?
-
Hi,Does anyone know if you can use the new Google tag manager to manage rich snippets? I've seen that there is an HTML section where you can edit HTML that isn't shown on the site - do you think this field could be used to add schema data?Thanks,Karen

Hi there
A couple of years back but this still isn't answered! I am sure you have heard by now but you can install Schema through GTM, here is a great resource:
Adding Schema Markup - The Non-Developer Guide (SERPWoo)
Hope this helps! Good luck!

We just tried doing exactly that in GTM with hidden style tags. Our customers tend to use weird CMS platforms so getting their devs to add something to the footer or header is tough.
Biz NameAlberta1234 Fake Street555 555 1234Unfortunately I just tested it and nothing is showing up in the structured testing tool: https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/Would love if anyone could shine more light on this.
Trying to enter it as a custom HTML tag firing on all pages. -
Hey Karen,
As to getting back to you so quickly: I was in the neighborhood and happy to assist
I am assuming product schema, but LMK.
With some of our content, we actually are training copywriters to put the schema in. Now, I would not do this in ecommerce as it is a different dev cycle/approach. But, for review or person schema, etc. its not a bad thought.
Each of our copywriters have pay changes based on learning and achievement. (No, we are not making them devs and they are judged based on content quality as well.)
I believe that every kid should learn basic html, etc. and am even starting a program where we provide a dev to a school to teach coding to middle schoolers (We pay the dev and the school/kids pay nothing). If they can be taught with all they are going through, anyone can. We are approaching a place where most will need basic html, etc. and schema ain't that tough.
LMK how it goes. You can even PM me.

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. It was a bit of a long-shot, we're just desperate to manage clients' schema without having to go through developers!
Thanks,
Karen

Digirank,
I do not see how you could use it for that, but admittedly have kicked your ball over to our head of dev just to be sure. Curious, how would you want to use it for schema given it is set to be more for tracking?

Track buttons in Google Tag Manager
Hi! First question: I am wondering if it's possible to track two buttons with the same code in Google Tag Manager without changing the code? There are different page URL's.. Second one: My tags are displayed in Google Analytics as 'events'. When I put the events in 'goals', the number of times it fired differs from my events. Someone who can help me with this issue?

Schema Rich Snippet Markup tool is validating the markup but it says it isn't in Webmaster Tools.
All my Schema Rich Snippets are being validated in the webmaster tools Rich Snippet tester tool here http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets But when I go take a peek at the new tab in Webmaster tools when I'm signed into my analytics account it shows there are no active Markups on my site.

How do I best segment tablets on Google Analytics
I would like to find a way to best segment out my tablet traffic to measure performance; however I'm finding that there are road blocks. It doesn't seem that device operating systems or screen resolutions have clear cut differences in the tablet/mobile versions. Has anyone here found a good way to create a "tablet" segment in Google Analytics? Right now I'm having to lean on solely the ipad traffic to get indicators of tablet performance. Thanks!

Correlation between google and yahoo indexed pages
My blog ocpatentlawyer.com has about 130 pages or so. Google has indexed most if not all of the posts and pages. In contrast, yahoo has only indexed about 1/4 of the pages and posts. Are there any actions that can be taken based on this information? For example, if i prepare a blog post should I prepare it so that it will most likely be indexed into yahoo knowing that google will also index it. If so, how can i prepare blog posts that will most likely be indexed into yahoo's index?
