Event Schema markup for multiple events (same location/address)?
-
I was wondering if its possible to markup multiple events on the same page for one location/address using the event schema.org markup? I tried doing it on a sample page below:
http://www.rama.id.au/event-schema-test/
Google's schema testing tool shows that its all good (except for warning for offers). Just wanted to know if I am doing it correctly or is there a better solution. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

You can use this as a template
Or use this great tool https://jsonld.com/json-ld-generator/
(remember with JSON-LD you must have the content in HTML if you post via JSON-LD)

Hi Vincent
Again, it may be a matter of creating individual pages for each event w proper Schema, or it is possible to use tags in Schema as well. So, each event would be wrapped by their proper Event tag, with the address information in a meta tag included. Both are rather tedious. You can read more here:
https://schema.org/docs/gs.html#schemaorg_testing
Ideally though, you'd have an individual page for each event.
You could follow Ticketmaster's path and use data-vocabulary.com markup, however, Schema is the standard. If you're wondering what I mean, run the following URL through the Google Structure Data Markup Tester I linked to in my previous comment:
http://www.ticketmaster.com/Chicago-Bulls-tickets/artist/805914
Sorry for not posting links - I am on my phone and I cannot. Will update in the AM.
Hope these help! Good luck!

Hello Oleg and Patrick
Thank you so much gentlemen for helping me out. Unfortunately, I cannot wrap each event in it's own using itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Event" as each event will then require me to specify the same address multiple times due to the "location" attribute being a required field. Since the address occurs only once on the pageI am bound to use it only once by tying the same address to multiple address. On a side note, how come the Google schema testing tool able to pass my implementation on the sample URL?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks once again.

I agree with Oleg here - each event should have it's own page.
That being said, it is possible to markup individual events on the same page, because each event is has it's own unique attributes. Each event will be wrapped in it's own itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Event" - so be mindful of that.
You can read more here.
Keep in mind Google and Yandex have structured data markup testing tools.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

You should create separate events for each event you have (even if the location is the same)
from https://schema.org/Event --> "Repeated events may be structured as separate Event objects."

Multiple CMS on one website / domain & SEO
For a client we would like to work with a content hub, but their website is build on a custom CMS so we are limited in our options and if we aks their web developers they ask crazy prices to help us. So now we have the idea to build the content hub with wordpress and implement it next to their current CMS. for example on www.website.com/contenthub/ . As far as i know this is technically possible and there are no negative effects regarding SEO as long as we link the two sitemaps together. Am i right or am i missing something here?

Best way to link to multiple location pages
I am a Magician and have multiple location pages for each county I cover. I currently have them linked off the menu under locations/ <county>and also in the footer</county> However I have heard that a link from the page is much stronger, so I am experimenting with removing the Menu & Footer link and just linking to these pages from within the content. It's not really a navigation item and most people come in through search to the right page. Am I diluting the link by having it in the Menu/Page and Footer? I read a long time ago that Google only considers the first link to a page and ignores the rest - is that the case? Thanks Roger https://www.rogerlapin.co.uk/

Schema markup for Webinars
I'm looking for a solution to implement schema markup for our webinars. We have an events page that has a list of upcoming events, as well as a list of the webinars we've done with a link to YouTube to watch the webinar. The webinars on our events page have the title and date. What kind of schema markup can we implement for these past events? It is not really an event, but it's not a video either (unless we embed the video on our site). Any tips? (**Also, I would like to use JSON-LD instead of HTML to implement the schema). Thanks!

I have a GoDaddy website and have multiple homepages
I have GoDaddy website builder and a new website http://ecuadorvisapros.com and I notices through your crawl test that there are 3 home pages http://ecuadorvisapros with a 302 temporary redirect, http://www.ecuadorvisapros.com/ with no redirect and http://www.ecuadorvisapros/home.html. GoDaddy says there is only one home page. Is this going to kill my chances of having a successful website and can this be fixed? Or can it. I actually went with the SEO version thinking it would be better, but it wants to auto change my settings that I worked so hard at with your sites help. Please keep it simple, I am a novice although I have had websites in the past I know more about the what's than the how's of websites. Thanks,

How does Google find /feed/ at the end of all pages on my site?
Hi! In Google Webmaster Tools I find *.../feed/ as a 404 page in crawl errors. The problem is that none of these pages exist and they have no inbound links (except the start page). FYI, it´s a wordpress site. Example: www.mysite.com/subpage1/feed/ www.mysite.com/subpage2/feed/ www.mysite.com/subpage3/feed/ etc Does Google search for /feed/ by default or why do I keep getting these 404´s every day?
