Schema Markup Location
-
I had a quick question, I want to do schema markup for a local business. Do I need to put it on every page, or just the home page? Also, where should put it i.e. Header, Body, or footer
-
Thank you both, I appreciate it.

Peter,
Definitely add it to every page, not just the home page.
As John mentioned, aesthetics are important in determining the best locations. Here are a couple of considerations:
- Aesthetics and usability (where it will best benefit the visitor while also achieving your goal)
- Common areas where it will be automatically inserted into each new page, especially in CMS/ blog sites, such as footer or sidebar
Limitations occur when you have a business with multiple locations (more than 2 or 3), as it will start to create aesthetic and space problems for you. In these situations, you will have to determine the best method on a case by case basis. For example, if you have a bank with one main location and 10 branches in a metro area. You may decide to run the main office location schema on the common pages and then use the individual location schema on their specific contact/ location pages.
Hope this helps.

Peter.
The markup is added to content (text) on your website already.
For example, if you have your address and phone number placed in your footer or sidebar, you would add the markup to them.
So naturally where ever you fell your content should sit within the aesthetics of your website, you just add the schema markup around that content.
If for example you have your address in the footer on every page, yes add the markup to every page. Marking up as much content as possible can help the search engines.
Or if you have an events page, with several events on that page, you would add the markup to each event.
Have a look here ... if you have not already http://schema.org/LocalBusiness
There are lots of properties you can use ...
Hope that helps
Regards
John

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:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Your_Workshop
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.0 -
Site structure for location + services pages
We are in the process of restructuring our site and are trying to figure out Google's preference for location pages and services. Let's say we are an auto repair company with lots of locations and each one of them offer some unique services, while other services are offered by all or most other locations. Should we have a global page for each service live with a link to the location page for each shop that offers that service? OR Should we built a unique page about each service for every location as a subfolder of each location (essentially creating a LOT of sub pages because each location has 15-20 services. Which will rank better?

Homepage organization schema question: logo lives on amazon server, can I call that out on the structured data?
Basically, the homepage organization schema has called out the logo, but it lives on the amazon server. We're having issues with Google rendering the correct logo on the knowledge graph. The URL for the amazon asset looks something like this: <brandname>-assets.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/<logo>.png</logo></brandname> Calling that out on the organization structured data for the logo is okay right?

Json LD e-commerce site with Excellent implementation of all markup features
Hi all I am looking for some really good clear examples of sites that have excellent JSON LD markup. Not just the basics but packed to the teeth with markup for every element. I am particularly interested in e-commerce applications as I am re skinning our e-commerce platform written from scratch in house. It is far from perfect, not mobile friendly and well a bit backward but links into everything we have in a seamless way all the way to our manufacturing plant. Take a look have a little laugh and then take pity 🙂 https://www.spurshelving.co.uk/shop/shop.aspx Thanks Pete

Link Location Still Making That Much Difference?
I got to thinking earlier... I know obviously footer links are always going to be the bottom of the barrel but does the rest of block level analysis still mean as much... I mean, everybody went nuts with getting in-content links only so there's a billion and one badly written spammy blogs with useless content on just for the sake of getting in-content links instead of blogroll/sidebar links. I just wonder if maybe due to that, things might have levelled out a bit for link location and we hadn't noticed... or at least there's not been much discussion over it lately. Thoughts anyone?
