Schema.org for a rental site with more than one apartment per address
-
I am looking for advices on how to best start adopting schema.org for an apartment rental site with more than one apartment per address.
I would like to get feedback and suggestions on my initial thoughts.
Here are the obvious ones:
- http://schema.org/Place for the address of the building an apartment is in.
- http://schema.org/ApartmentComplex for the unique page for each apartment.
Any thoughts or experiences you would like to share?
Thanks,
Adrien O'Leary

Schema helps a lot to set up and arrange the visual view data of the website. I have applied it to my Irwell Hill project.

Hi guys, Im working for a SaaA site that contain flatshare ads, would you let me know which schema would apply better?
Thanks

Kane, your link helped. Especially because it got me to discover http://www.productontology.org/!

I'm not familiar with it. Some decent info on it at http://semanticweb.com/schema-org-adds-additional-type-property_b30861, but not sure if that's helpful.
-
Kane, I appreciate the feedback and I know realize that there are no specific properties for Residence or AppartmentComplex. One question about additionalType. Any input on finding the right RDFa syntax for that property?
-
So, those are attributes for Things and then Places (a subset of Things). Because of that, they apply to subcategories. The current Schema.org structure apparently does not add any new attributes for Residences or Apartment Complexes. Obviously that may not be right, but I've seen this in other Schema.org categories that are missing attributes that would make sense to have.
-
Hi Kane, I appreciate the answer.
One additional question. Why are the properties listed at http://schema.org/Residence the same than the ones listed at http://schema.org/ApartmentComplex (while the latest one is a some kind of sub-type of the first one)?
Thanks,
Adrien O'Leary

http://schema.org/ApartmentComplex is going to be the correct formatting to use. That includes an implicit relationship to the Place markup based upon containedIn.
The number of apartments/suites/etc won't affect the Schema markup, as long as everything is on the same street number (e.g. 1234 Oak St).
However if the complex contains multiple buildings with separated street numbers (e.g. 1234 Oak St as well as 1237 Oak St) then that may affect your approach. In that event I'd probably choose the building that the rental office is located in (assuming that's onsite), and this is also going to have to match the address you're using for all of your citations across the internet.

Old domain to new domain what happens to the old site?
Hello We rebranded 5 months ago, and set up a new domain for the new brand name which sits on different hosting to the old. We still have the old hosting running with the old site still on it. We have set up redirects to the new domain and wondered when/if we can turn off the old site hosting?

Planning to update my Volusion site to HTTPS protocol. Concerns.
I'm planning to update my Volusion Commerce site to https protocol. A config variable switch will config urls to become secure https urls. I'm looking into what additional steps I must take and issues that I may run into. I guess any relative links within my site will not be affected but how about incoming backlinks. How do I address this. Also concerned about previous redirects. Do I have to create a new xml file incorporating the new protocol in the target and a version of both secure and insecure source urls. I figure a new sitemap has to be submitted to Google Search Console - should there be a secure https://www.example version as well as a https://example version of site and older similar http versions submitted. Thanks Howard

Site update and what to do about current keyword rank
Hi im in the process of giving my site a major update as its only one page and not responsive . The the new site will have a homepage with a list of my services with a small description of each and each service will link to its own page. My one page site at the moment ranks number one in my area for a low competition keyword (moz keyword score of 13%) of course this sends me very little traffic. With my new site im also going for more keywords but these will be Moz KWD 30% and 40%. I know this will be quite hard and take some time but i'm pretty sure I know what I need to do to get there. Now my question is what do i do with my current home page (only page) that ranks for that low comp keyword?

I dont want to lose my rank for that, so do i make a new page on my new site that is optimized for that keyword, but then I don't want to 301 my homepage to that so I guess as its such an easy word to rank for my new page would soon rank for that? What are your thoughts and advice please, thanks in advance.1 -
Does CloudFlare Benefit my site?
I am using the $20 / month CloudFlare service. My site is not running faster, so my question is: is this service adding real value? I do not have a lot of highly sensitive customer data (some email addresses and customer names and nothing more - no credit cards). I am already using Amazon Cloud Server and it appears to work fine. Any thoughts appreciated.

Moving a site as a folder of existing one
We have the following case: Site A with domain authority 65 and 2,750 linking root domains (139K total links) and Site B with domain authority 68 and 1,336 linking root domains (38K total links) There's a suggestion to move Site A as a folder of Site B so it becomes something like this: domainB.com/domainA using 301 redirects for the existing domain A. We'd like to better understand what such move will result in. I imagine at first Site A will drop in rankings, but after that will it be better for it to be under Site B domain? Also, moving all the pages a step behind in the URL path may slightly affect their rankings. What do you think? Would you move Site A or leave it as a separate domain? I understand there can't be an exact estimation what will happen, but I'll appreciate your thoughts.
