      Hello, can we have the FAQ code on the homepage (staff time)?

      we have written some questions and answers in the drop-down list on the homepage,

      and also add the schema code script to one tag of the page,

      but it does not work!

        Yes, If you have a portion of FAQ's on homepage you can add faq schema to it. It will help in rich snippet.

          Yes you could absolutely. However I think you mark up is excellent for a lot of things it’s not known for driving traffic. Just so your aware google tells us ”

          • Don’t use FAQPage for advertising purposes.”

          I doubt your homepage would count but you never now in addition FAQ content turns to get clicked on very seldomly.

          Because the answers to the questions are found in the SERPS people do not have to leave Google to find the answers

          I know taking up more googles real estate sounds good like a featured snippet but not if your customer only cares about the answers & Google is already providing them. Which FAQ does extremely well.

          below I tested your page tested as well as a mock up of inappropriately marked up page hopefully this will be of help

          also below are what Google considers valid and invalid reasons for FAQ schema

          look at the top of the page for errors some of your fonts aren’t loading

          https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=0jC1yqgkMNkla7J3F6fEVQ

          here’s an example of what it might look like with the correct FAQ markup

          https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=zV3BwNJPTbbEsXOj3e3Asg

          See:

          One of my favorite tools for generating structured data in JSON-LD  FAQ is built-in.

          https://www.rankranger.com/schema-markup-generator

          https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/search-gallery

          test using

          https://search.google.com/test/rich-results

           

          • Valid use cases:

            • An FAQ page written by the site itself, with no way for users to submit alternative answers
            • A product support page that lists FAQs, with no way for users to submit alternative answers

            Invalid use cases:

            • A forum page where users can submit answers to a single question
            • A product support page where users can submit answers to a single question
            • A product page where users can submit multiple questions and answers on a single page
          • Don’t use FAQPage for advertising purposes.

          • Make sure each Question includes the entire text of the question and make sure each Answer includes the entire text of the answer. The entire question text and answer text may be displayed.

          • Question and answer content may not be displayed as a rich result if it contains any of the following types of content: obscene, profane, sexually explicit, graphically violent, promotion of dangerous or illegal activities, or hateful or harassing language.

          • All FAQ content must be visible to the user on the source page.

          hope this helps,

          Tom

            Event Schema for Multiple Occurrences

            I am wondering the best way to mark up an event page with multiple occurrences. For example, we have an event that happens over the course of 4 sequential weekends:
            9/28-9/29
            10/5-10/6
            10/12-10/13
            10/19-10/20 Our website allows us to enter multiple occurrences that results in a single event listing page which outputs all dates (to eliminate duplicate content, titles, metas, etc.) but allows each occurrence to output individually on our events calendar in the respective individual date. Each time the event is shown, it links to the same listing page. I am wondering if we can add event schema on a single listing multiple times to cover each occurrence. In the above example, we would have 4 schemas on the listing page for each date range/weekend. In our current schema, we end up with a start and end date identified as 9/28-10/20 but it is not clear that the event is just happening on the weekends with gaps in between. Any suggestions are welcome however, we are really trying to NOT list each as an individual event on the website both for the duplicate content issue and the extra burden on our client that lists events for a very large geographic area.

            Structured data: Product vs auto rental schema?

            Hi mozzers, If you are rental company, is it useful to add both the product and auto rental schemas or auto rental schema on its own should just be enough? Finally, on the auto rental schema, you have to add an address. Could we just add a city instead of an entire address and avoid receiving a warning message on the strutured data testing tool? Thank you.

            Can Google Bot View Links on a Wix Page?

            Hi, The way Wix is configured you can't see any of the on-page links within the source code. Does anyone know if Google Bots still count the links on this page? Here is the page in question: https://www.ncresourcecenter.org/business-directory If you do think Google counts these links, can you please send me URL fetcher to prove that the links are crawlable? Thank you SO much for your help.

            Why is this SERP displaying an incorrect URL for my homepage?

            The full URL of a particular site's homepage is something like http://www.example.com/directory/.
            The canonical and og URLs match.
            The root domain 301 redirects to it using the absolute path. And yet the SERP (and the cached version of the page) lists it simply as http://www.example.com/. What gives? Could the problem be found at some deeper technical level (.htaccess or DirectoryIndex or something?) We fiddled with things a bit this week, and while our most recent changes appear to have been crawled (and cached), I am wondering whether I should give it some more time before I proceed as if the SERP won't ever reflect the correct URL. If so, how long? [EDIT: From the comments, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8QKIweOzH4#t=2838]

            Moving blog to a subdomain, how can I help it rank?

            Hi all, We recently moved our blog to a sub-domain where it is hosted on Wordpress. It was very recent and we're actively working on the SEO, but any pointers on getting the subdomain to rank higher than the old blog posts would be terrific. Thanks!

            Can Google read my backlink in Javascript??

            Hi SeoMoz community! I have a software product, which our clients implement onto their websites. It is like a pop up box. I know that backlinks are very important for SEO ranking, and I really want to give our clients 2 options of product: 1. you can get the free/cheaper option if you use the code which has a keyworded backlink to our site on it 2. you can pay small fee if you don't want to use the version with a link to our site on it Now, the problem is that the product is written entirely in Javascript, and I don't think that Google crawls this, do they? Is there a way around this? Thanks for your help!
