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!

The event does not have all required information in the eyes of Google. Will that harm the site?
If a lot is missing YES you need dates.

Thank you! This helps a lot.
Follow-up question... The event does not have all required information in the eyes of Google. Will that harm the site? Or is it ok if we don't have every parameter... See screenshot for example of the info that I can markup: http://screencast.com/t/KPkUvHvmZaf

Utilizing past events will be will be able to instruct Google that you are having a consistent event cycle whatever length of time that is. So I do recommend doing it. JSON-LD has been, recommended for events.
In the past, Google has suggested Microdata. For websites and JSON-LD for apps however since their overhaul the new schema testing system, it seems like they have gone 100% JSON-LD in their recent "recommendations" for events.
("Try out the following examples using the Structured Data Testing Tool. All examples show JSON-LD syntax. If you prefer, you can use Microdata or RDFa syntax.")
JSON-LD His extremely lightweight but is invisible to the end-user. Microdata Is visible to the end-user.I would base it on what makes sense for your website. I do not know if you are utilizing app?If you are currently using microdata, it is still supported. If you are looking to use schema for the first time, I would recommend JSON-LD for apps and Microdata for end-users.
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/events#use-cases
https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool
https://blog.kissmetrics.com/get-started-using-schema/ I would use Google's schema generator for JSON-LD or one of these options for microdata

http://microdatagenerator.org/
Below are two examples of the different styles and keep in mind microdata is visible

Product Schema Markup for All Products
Hi Team, Google search console used to allow you to use their structured data markup helperhttps://www.google.com/webmasters/markup-helper/u/0/ to markup multiple product pages at once that were similar. I do not see this feature anymore with the new search console. Does anyone have a recommendation for marking up multiple product pages without having to have schema markup firing in GTM for each product page?

Product schema GSC Error 'offers, review, or aggregateRating should be specified'
I do not have a sku, global identifier, rating or offer for my product. Nonetheless it is my product. The price is variable (as it's insurance) so it would be inappropriate to provide a high or low price. Therefore, these items were not included in my product schema. SD Testing tool showed 2 warnings, for missing sku and global identifier. Google Search Console gave me an error today that said: 'offers, review, or aggregateRating should be specified' I don't want to be dishonest in supplying any of these, but I also don't want to have my page deprecated in the search results. BUT I DO want my item to show up as a product. Should I forget the product schema? Advice/suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Schema Markup Errors - Priority or Not?
Greetings All... I've been digging through the search console on a few of my sites and I've been noticing quite a few structured data errors. Most of the errors are related to: hcard, hentry and hatom. Most of them are missing author & entry-title, while the other one is missing: fn. I recently saw an article on SEL about Google's focus on spammy mark-up. The sites I use are built and managed by vendors, so I would have to impress upon them the impact of these errors and have them prioritize, then fix them. My question is whether or not this should be prioritized? Should I have them correct these errors sooner than later or can I take a phased approach? I haven't noticed any loss in traffic or anything like that, I'm more focused on what negative impact a "phased approach" could have. Any thoughts?

Using Schema.org: Product or Event as the schema type?
Hello, Most of you heard from the launch of the new format for microdata: Schema.org and my question is about the different types of Schema they provide. Our websites provide an overview of courses, visitors can search/filter training courses and most important: read peer reviews. Until now we formatted (the source) of those courses with the schema type "Product" because it allows us to provide search engines with metadata about reviews via the "Aggregrated Rating". Recently we updated the information about courses, to also provide start dates and locations to users, just like the schema type for: "Events". Because we would like to provide search engines also with both types of data I would like to know your opinion. Schema.org looks like not to support the Aggregated Rating for Events and vice versa for Startdates/Locations for the Product type. And combining the two Schema types also does not looks like an option because we can't put them on the same level like it should be. So what would you recommend to use for kind of schema type(s), are we able to use the 'Product' type next to the 'Event' type and so to combine them? Thanks a lot!
