Why Isn't Product Schema Showing Up for my Ecom Site?
-
Hello,
I work with two ecommerce sites and we've implemented product and review schema back in mid-May. Since implemented, I've seen some of the product prices and review stars start to show up in Google, however, now it seems to be long gone. I've tested sample URLs in Google's rich snippet testing tool and no errors come up and it looks like we have all the required components needed for each schema type.
I know Google doesn't for sure show schema, but these sites are a decent size and trustworthy enough where I think they would be showing it.
Does anyone have an idea on what I'm missing? Have you experienced something like this?
Thanks in advance.

I suspected that those related products being marked up might not have been good. Good to know. We'll for sure test that out.
Thanks for the recommendation on the blog post and for your help!

The first thing that stands out to me on these pages is that you have all of the other products that the page links to under "Related Items" marked up as well. So there are multiple values for Product and for Offer on the page. The first thing I would test would be removing this markup for the Related items, so that all the Product markup on the page applies only to the product that page is about. I suspect that Google may have gotten stricter about requirements for this, or otherwise changed the way they generate price/review snippets. So that's what I would test first. It can work to have multiple Product schemas on a category page, but on a page that is specifically about one product I would try to have all of the Product markup on that page be about that product.
The other thing you may want to update is your height and width properties. It looks like you're currently using the type "Intangible" for these, when their expected types would be either QuantitativeValue or Distance, so I would update those too.

Hi! So my first question would be: Are other websites in the same SERP displaying rich product snippets? If not, it may be that Google has decided that other forms of rich content are a better fit for those queries.
One frustrating thing about the structured data testing tool is that it doesn't get updated nearly as often as the algorithm itself does, so occasionally something will validate just fine in the tool but be running up against stricter requirements in the algo itself. The tool was updated pretty recently so I don't know for sure that that's the case but it is a thing that can happen.
If you'd feel comfortable sharing a URL or two (or want to PM them to me), I can take a look.

Client has 2 locations across the street from each other, 1 of them doesn't show up in Google Maps anymore unless you type its specific branch name. Help
Client has 3 locations in NYC... 1 is on the east side
Reviews and Ratings | | jaimeurteaga
2 of them are a block apart on the west side (52nd & 51st street). When you search the business name, you only see 2 of the 3 listings - 1 on the East side and 1 of the 2 on the West side. On the West side only the one with more reviews shows up. The semi-hidden location still exists. You can find it if you type in the exact full name of the branch (it has the brand name + Midtown West vs its neighbor a block away that's brand name + Hell's Kitchen). Otherwise, it's invisible. The Hell's Kitchen location that appears has 3000+ reviews. The hidden one (Midtown West) has only 250+ reviews. In the past, all 3 would show up. How do we get all 3 to show up again, at the initial, zoomed out view?0 -
Review Schema Dropped Off A Cliff!?
Hello everyone, I recently implemented some review schema for my website which looked to be successful as my review stars were appearing in organic rankings with no problem! Yay! However... I've just checked in on where we are with these and they have literally dropped off a cliff and I have no idea why. See image attached with the graph that shows our reviews looking great in July/August then dropping off w/c 26th August. I literally have no idea why this has happened. The Schema Markup Tool shows no errors or issues with the markup either. Can anyone advise? 81Rv88Y

Two web sites with the same contact info is this a problem ?
I have two web sites and a physical shop. I run the web sites from the the same post address as the shop. I am concerned that if I add the actual address to both web sites which also has the same telephone number that google might see this as suspicious activity. The reason is I bought a competitor out and now run two sites.

Local review site discovery
Rand and others have shared a link to a free service where you type in a state location and it shows a list of the most used local listings & review sites for that area. I can't find this service or link anywhere. Was this a service that was on getlisted.org that no longer exists?? Anyone know where it is or where it went?

Publishing testimonials on your site that are from your Google + (or other review sites page)
Ive got a site with some good Google + Reviews and some other good reviews on other sites that id like to be able to publish on a testimonials page on our website, but im worried about being penalised for duplicate content. Any idea of the best way to get these reviews on to our website, i was thinking about placing the text in as an image, but id prefer to do something semantic if at all possible. (I know that some review sites have javascript widgets you can use to pull in your reviews but for most of the sites we are reviewed on they dont)
