Should we add Schema.org for Website Articles on our blog page
-
Hi All,
We use schema.org on most of our eCommerce website apart from on our "latest news/blog section" which we have all our how to's ...and other useful articles on . Am I missing a trick here ?.. I have found there is a https://schema.org/Article which I guess we could implement if it's a big help or if there's a better one ?
Just wondered peoples thought as whether it is must have from an SEO/ranking point of view
thanks
Pete

Many thanks Patrick for your help.
I will look at those links etc you mention above. Just quickly, most of my articles are actually how to articles e.g How to aerate your lawn etc , so I am guessing these would come under -https://schema.org/TechArticle as oppose to Blog . Is that how it you would do it.
thanks
Pete

Hi Peter
I am a big advocate for Schema.org. I have seen great return in the areas I have invested into it and so have others based on this Search Engine Watch article.
Here is the blog markup for schema.org and it's various properties, including BlogPosting.
Here is a resource from w3resource on implementing Blog schema and one for BlogPosting from Jeremy Walker.
Overtime, Schema.org tends to get more and more granular, so please do read through the schema.org site so you can take advantage of all it has to offer and discuss with your web development team. Remember - while every BlogPosting is an Article, not every Article is a BlogPosting - as shown by the Article variations on the Full Hierarchy page above.
Also - after implementation (preferably on a staging site), you can use the Google Structured Data Testing Tool to test your markup and see if everything is being read properly.
Hope this all helps - good luck!

Redirecting M Dot Mobile Website to Responsive Design Website Questions
Hi amazing Moz community 🙂 Couldn't find this question anywhere, and knew this was the place to ask! We are helping a client redirect an M Dot website to a Responsive Design website. We want to retain our mobile rankings for keywords. Three questions - We should use 301 redirects from the M Dot website to the new website correct? (not 302s?) How long does it take for Google to understand that we have launched a responsive website? Can we remove the 301 redirects after a few days (if the M Dot website interferes/breaks the new Responsive website)? We have verified an account on Google Search Console for the M Dot website, along with a mobile sitemap that has been submitted and verified. What should we do with this M Dot GSC account? Just delete it? Or keep it and upload the NEW XML Sitemap with the new WWW links (because the website is responsive). THANK YOU!

Schema Review For Attorney wordpress website
I have a wordpress website for an attorney. I would like to implement schema markup rating/review. My client has really good reviews and I want to show the 5 stars in the SERPs. His rating is 5 out 5 stars. There are different plugins that are good only to leave a review, and the stars would only appear only for that review page in the SERPs. I would like the home page to have the stars in the SERPs. Is there a way to get it done? Thanks!

95% of organic traffic lands in my homepage, despite having a 250 page website with a "seo optimized" hierarchical structure. Any suggestion as to what might be happening?
Challenging issue All the "usual suspects" have been discarded: all pages included in google index, no google penalties, metas optimized, kw's segregated by pages/cluster of pages to avoid cannibalization... BUT, we know we are missing something website is www.e-florex.com and is an e-commerce site based on magento Any ideas you might think are worth exploring? Thanks in advance for your help Juan

B2B site targeting 20,000 companies with 20,000 dedicated "target company pages" on own website.
An energy company I'm working with has decided to target 20,000 odd companies on their own b2b website, by producing a new dedicated page per target company on their website - each page including unique copy and a sales proposition (20,000 odd new pages to optimize! Yikes!). I've never come across such an approach before... what might be the SEO pitfalls (other than that's a helluva number of pages to optimize!). Any thoughts would be very welcome.

What causes internal pages to have a page rank of 0 if the home page is PR 5?
The home page PageRank is 5 but every single internal page is PR 0. Things I know I need to address each page has 300 links (Menu problem). Each article has 2-3 duplicates caused from the CMS working on this now. Has anyone else had this problem before? What things should I look out for to fix this issue. All internal linking is follow there is no page rank sculpting happening on the pages.
