Mobile Google SRP not showing Mobile breadcrumb
-
Hi,
I have implemented schema code for Breadcrumb on mobile site which is same as on Desktop. Now Desktop breadcrumb structure is getting visible on Google SRP, but when i check Mobile breadcrumb structure in Android Phone Google SRP, it is not visible. I have verified both code in schema structure tool.Is there any different schema code for mobile breadcrumb.
Need any additional information regarding this, please send me your queries.

Thanks Everett for Clarification.

I did not mean to imply that AMP would fix your problem, as asked above. But, if you are interested in mobile optimization (including the snippets displayed in search results), you may want to check that out.
To answer your question, I don't think you are doing anything "wrong". Google likely handles desktop and mobile separately so you may have breadcrumbs on one and not the other. Having the code on the page does not guarantee that Google will display something in the search results.

But AMP is a way to build web pages for static content that render fast.

Hello Anirban,
Thanks for clearing that up. Again, Google does not always show markup just because you have it on the site.
If you are truly concerned with mobile optimization in the SERPs, check into Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP)- https://www.ampproject.org/ .
Best of luck!

Hi Everett,
Drop down navigation is only implemented on Desktop site and Breadcrumbs structure of desktop site of Ask & Answer getting visible in Google, but Mobile site breadcrumb is not getting visible in Google SRP.. -
Hello Anirban,
Just because you implement the markup does not mean Google will show it in the SERPs. This is true for breadcrumbs, product markup, events and more.
Also, it could have something to do with the drop-down navigation embedded in your breadcrumbs. You may try removing that to see if you get the breadcrumb on mobile.

Hi Everett,
We have implemented Breadcrumb on question detail pages. Please check this page http://goo.gl/WSGyDl and search this code itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb. You can find all question detail pages here http://goo.gl/Zmz0v3 . -
Hello Anirban,
I did not see any breadcrumbs or breadcrumb markup on that page. The source code has a section for it, but nothing is inside it:

Hi Bridget,
Thanks for looking into this matter. I am checking it almost daily basis, but it is showing URL in Google SERP instead of breadcrumb. I have implemented code on question detail pages on section http://goo.gl/Zmz0v3 (This is the URL of AnA section, check it on Mobile browser). -
Hi Anirban, I don't believe that there is separate schema for mobile breadcrumbs, and since you tested it with the testing tool it seems that something else may be going on here. Have you checked it again recently, and is it still not visible?
Would you be willing to tell me what the site is, so I can have a look myself?

Reclaiming Ranking positions in Google
We have a website we are working on that was ranking well in Google but since having a hosting upgrade has completely dropped in rankings. When a hosting upgrade was made, the developer added an incorrect robots.txt file that restricted the site from being found, hence resulting in lost rankings. We have since sorted out that issue so the robots.txt is OK. However, ranking results have yet to be reclaimed. We are unsure why these rankings haven't rebounded back, as it has been a while now. The site is https://www.brightonpanelworks.com.au. We have since also attempted to add a sitemap however to help the site be better crawled and to regain rankings, however, it appears that sitemap generators are having problems creating a sitemap for this site and we are not sure why. And we are not sure whether this may relate to why Google has not picked up on pages and ranking results have not be restored. If you have any ideas as to how we can reclaim rankings to the strong positions they were in previously, that would be much appreciated. We believe we may be missing something here that is not allowing webpages to be picked up and ranked by Google.

Website with only a portion being 'mobile friendly' -- what to tell Google?
I have a website for desktop that does a lot of things, and have converted part of it do show pages in a mobile friendly format based on the users device. Not responsive design, but actual diff code with different formatting by mobile vs desktop--but each still share the same page url name. Google allows this approach. The mobile-friendly part of the site is not as extensive as desktop, so there are pages that apply to the desktop but not for mobile. So the functionality is limited some for mobile devices, and therefore some pages should only be indexed for desktop users. How should that page be handled for Google crawlers? If it is given a 404 not found for their mobile bot will Google properly still crawl it for the desktop, or will Google see that the url was flagged as 'not found' and not crawl it for the desktop? I asked a similar question yest, but it was not stated clearly. Thanks,Ted

Google Penalty - Has It Been Lifted?
Hi, We have been trying to remove a ‘partial’ google penalty for a new client by the way of removing unnatural backlinks over a period of time and then submitting a reconsideration request, and uploading a disavow file etc. Previously Google listed the partial penalty in the ‘manual actions’ section of webmaster tools, making it possible for us to submit a reconsideration request. Having just logged in however we get the message ‘no manual webspam actions found’. So there isn’t any way we can submit a reconsideration request. Does this mean that the penalty has been lifted? Or could it still exist? If the latter is there any other way to submit a reconsideration request? Many thanks in advance, Lee.

Google snippet chosen why?
We have a page about buying property in the Megeve area of the Alps in France. We are No.2 on Google.co.uk for the term "megeve property for sale" and No.1 for "megeve property". http://www.prestigeproperty.co.uk/MegeveProperty/Properties.asp If you search for "megeve property for sale", Google serves our META description as the snippet: Ski chalets, homes and apartments for sale in this exclusive, prestigious Rhone Alpes village - 520000-16500000 EUR. However, we noticed that searching for just "megeve property" serves up a much better snippet taken from the text on the page: A crucial factor for potential property buyers is that there is a strong rental market in Megève and this remains high all year around with properties close to the ... Does anyone know why Google would serve this particular snippet instead of the META description. Is it the number of strong and descriptive words used, or some other reason?

Not ranking on Bing but is on Google?
Hi What are the main differences between Bing and Google in terms of ranking sites? My site is ranking well in Google but in Bing it is very low down and does not deliver much traffic. In Bing webmaster tools there are no warning messages and I had sent in a sitemap back in 2011 and 77 pages are listed, but I had not submitted a URL could this be why my pages are not ranking highly? Or does anybody have a checklist on what a site should offer to get ranking on Bing?
