Inputting Schema for Website When Using a Markup Generator
-
Hi Guys,
I think this may be fairly straightforward but couldn't find an answer online.
I wish to input Schema on a website and have generated the JSON-LD markups for a local business.
1. Do I just add this into the header and if so should it be at the start or end?
2. Do I just add to the homepage?
3. If I have multiple markups (Local Business, Website, etc.) do I put them all in one header
Thanks!

The best way to deal with Schemas is using Tag Manager, the first schemas that you will need to focus are the schemas supported by Google ...Why? because will have an impact on your site performance (from SEO perspective).
Website, Local Business, Articles, Breadcrumbs, Site Logos, Social Profile are almost mandatory you can check the complete list ( Also you can as many schemas as you want )
There many ways to insert schemas on your site, and if you use WordPress there are tons of plugins to do it. But in my opinion, those options are difficult to implement I mean there are plugins for recipes, for local and so on. And if you are serious about your project, you will need to keep consistency in the long run. The other option is to insert it manually which is ok if you have a small website with 20 pages but if you have a website with 500 articles and 50 categories .... well manual option will be a nightmare
So that's why I prefer to work with Tag Manager to implement schemas, I create a tag and the repeat and all the pages that I want and also I don't have to worry of the plugin support
Good Luck

ah ok thanks, yep so I meant I have a local and a website - i cant put these in, one below the other (in the header)?

Thanks James,
So if I have multiple Markups do you know if I just combine them into one and put into the header of all the pages?

Our website ranks first in SERP but is not listed in google local list
Hi, Our website is currently (and has been) ranking 1st for a number of keywords but is not listed under the Google Local list. I have double check that all the (physical) info is correct. I do not have a duplicate page. When I order the Google Local results in rating order, we then appear on top! Has anyone come across such a situation and would you have tips on how to solve this issue? Thanks!

Bad Google Reviews - Should I Remove the Map From My Website?
I have a Google map on a website. Currently, there are only two 1-star reviews — which show next to the company name on the map. We added the map for local SEO reasons, but I’m thinking I should take it down because customer experience supersedes local SEO. Why boost search rankings if the content will drive people away from converting? So basically, customer experience > local SEO. Question: Do you all agree, or do any of you have any evidence that I should leave it? For example, it’s below the fold, so it isn’t the first thing they see, and we really need to boost their local SEO.

Another Business is Using My Client's Address
This morning my client contacted me that another business is using their address as their own! They received a Google verification postcard with pin number on it, but luckily had the foresight to not give it to the person when they called. After some research, we also found out that they are using our address on Facebook and LinkedIn as well. The kicker is: this business is another SEO firm! You would think they would know that using our address would cause NAP issues for their own business. Has anyone dealt with another business trying to hijack their address for local rankings? Any advice on steps to take to report this abuse would be appreciated. Since this person is obviously unscrupulous, we don't want to provoke them into taking any other negative action online that could affect our business.

Have You Used Twitter For Google My Business Support?
Hey Everybody! If you've been doing Local for some years, chances are, you remember those dark days in the past when there was zero Google local support. You could post something in their forum, but that was pretty much your only hope. It was an absolutely amazing day when they finally rolled out phone support, and I'm still very grateful that this exists, but just this week, I learned about another way to contact support. Joy Hawkins has surfaced a Twitter account you can tweet when in need of assistance and she says its not only really fast, but that the help is US-based (which would be great for US users). I'd never heard of this before and wondered if any of you have tried it, and what response times and overall satisfaction you experienced with it. If you've not tried it yet and are experiencing a local client conundrum, maybe give it a try and let our community here know how it went?

A friend has a question about buying and using a domain
My friend is starting a yoga site and needed advice about how to use the domains. BikramYogaSantaClarita.com and BikramSCV.com are the 2 domains. The DBA is Bikram Yoga Santa Clarita. This was her message to me: The person I spoke with at GoDaddy suggested using the DBA name as the website and on advertising and the shorter one for email addresses, as it’s easier to say and write down, and also have the shorter one point to the longer DBA one. What do you think? What are your thoughts?
