Schema LocalBusiness for multiple store locations
-
Hello,
I want to add LocalBusiness mark up to our store pages.
I recently read this article https://moz.com/blog/structured-data-for-seo-2
One piece of advice I wanted to confirm is this section:
- It might seem counter-intuitive, but organization and LocalBusiness markup should only be used on the pages which are actually about your business (e.g. homepage, about page, and/or contact page).
I am working on an e-commerce site that has multiple stores and a store page for each. Currently there is Organization Mark Up (with the head office contact information) on every single page.
Am I right in saying that we should remove the Organization Mark Up from every page except the homepage, then add LocalBusiness mark up to each store page with the relevant contact information for each store?
Many thanks in advance.

yes it is possible for your [web developers]https://www.wandpmarketing.co.uk/() to add schema markup,

That's what I would do! I'd also keep scanning implementation with Google's schema tool to check for errors

Thank you for your reply.
Just to clarify, there is only one website with multiple store locations. e.g.
www.onlineshop.com/Glasgow-store
www.onlineshop.com/Edinburgh-store
So, I will have Organization Mark-up on the homepage www.onlineshop.com
Then, I will have LocalBusiness Mark-up on the store pages listed above?

The steps you have suggested seem correct to me. You are right not to plaster your whole site(s) with the specified schema, as it could lead to rich-snippet spam penalties. The homepage for each store makes the most sense, you could also include the contact pages if you wanted to

Are there detrimental effects of having multiple robot tags
Hi All, I came across some pages on our site that have multiple robot tags, but they have the same directives. Two are identical while one is for Google only. I know there aren't any real benefits from having it set up this way, but are there any detrimental effects such as slowing down the bots crawling these pages? name="googlebot" content="index, follow, noodp"/> Thanks!

One service - multiple locations
Just started working on a website with 2 services and a LOT of locations... So website is something like categorized in states and subcategories are cities... But it only offers 2 services. So each city out of 100 has one page per service... It seems to me like something not pretty good but I have no experience with such sites. I know that it is ok if you have stores on different locations so you can do local for all them but in this case website owner just wanted to rank high for 100 cities and actually he is doing pretty good... But I somehow think that may cause problems in future and google could consider it as a spam, no matter of unique content on 100 pages when it is actually the same... So if you have any advice for this situation, I am listening 🙂

Hello, The following services site nlpca.com has a store at shop.nlpca.com Would the store be stronger if it was at nlpca.com/store (in a subfolder) and included in the main navigation? The moz bar suggests not but I just want to make sure. Thanks.

How do you handle different business locations for search?
Would like to get peoples suggestion on how you handle different business locations in different cities. We have tried multiple tactics for different clients. Some have worked better than others. Example: We have a window company that does great in Austin. Now they want to move into Dallas. In the past, we have created "landing pages" optimized for that locality. However, with Googles new updates I dont think this will work anymore. With others, we have added a "tab" and have similar pages of the entire site optimized for that location. This seems to have been working better. What are your suggestion of how you handle different locations from city to city. Any input is appreciated! Thanks! Charles

How to Handle Multiple Locations
We are working with a client who will have multiple locations––same company, same services [for the most part], different location. They want each location to get picked up locally in the search engines. What is the best way to handle the website and URLs? One overarching website with a page for each location?
