          Hi

          is there a wordcount guideline for the description field in Ravens schema creator ?

          according to their page on event schema an excerpt from the page will show up as a short description but then their tool has a field for adding a description!

          I was just adding some edited copy from the page into this but if it already pulls in an excerpt is there any need ?

          I take it its a good idea for better control of what's displayed in rich snippet, if so what's suggested wordcount limit ?

          cheers

          dan

              Tried it a couple of times, but I was really surprised how terrible they are at identifying the content you serve on pages. That's why we started a while ago with completely integrating Schema.org as far as we can to make sure they'll 'get' it.

                  You're welcome. That's also why I always code my own Schema integrations so I don't have to worry about the limitations of a tool.

                    Thanks for that good resource Martijn !

                    Only thing is it just confirms that I should be able to add offer/ticket info yet schema creator plugin offers no such fields option for events but i have emailed Raven support rabout that & the fact that event data i have created so far is actually being displayed visually on the page too which seems strange

                    All Best

                      Hi Dan, I could explain a lot of things here but I would recommend to visit and read the content on this page: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/164506?hl=en Google will explain what you need to do to get event snippets.

                        Thanks for commenting Martijn !

                        O.k so i fill in the description field to simply describe this instance of event schema, but should not expect that to be used in the actual rich snippet since G will fill that with content from the page ?

                        Also since the event in question is a paid course, where do i put price in Ravens schema creator since there is no price like field ? I see on some resources that prices/costs should be added to event schema via an 'offers' attribute but Ravens schema creator wp tool does not include an offers field within 'events'. Do i neen to create a separate 'offers' item/schema after i create and implement the events schema ?

                        All Best

                          Hi Dan, there is no word count guideline for this at all. They're not using the event descriptions itself I think in the rich snippets but only the name of the event. You have to tell them though about the description because otherwise it's not a valid implementation but there is no certain limit.

                            Using Schema markup for Feefo reviews

                            I am a little confused about whether or not it is ok to use Schema markup with reviews collected through Feefo. We use Feefo to collect reviews from our customers and these get displayed on our website. We get service ratings as well as product ratings through Feefo. My question is: Is it ok to use Schema markup for these? I would have thought they would fall under 3rd party reviews, but this article from the Feefo website seems to suggest that it would be ok to use markup in the way they recommend. Can anyone confirm how Google handles review markup like this? Thanks in advance!

                            I have this .com domain which is the corporate website. Next to this domain, we also have local domains. We would like to test with a different meta-description per country on this one corporate .com domain. Does anyone knows if this is possible and how we could integrate this?

                            Hi Guys, I am trying to figure out why my page titles and meta d tags are getting cut off in Goofle SERPS. My page titles are 70 characters or under (including spaces) and my meta Dd's are 155 characters or under (including spaces) so I cannot work out why They are getting cut off. Is there something I have missed?! Thanks, Meaghan

                            Hello everyone, I have a question for the community. I have a website with several articles and news that i manage. I set specific meta descriptions for every page but when i search in google it gives me back different meta descriptions depending on the keyword that i use to search. What i notice is that google looks in my page for the most relevant part of the text that combines with my keyword and gives me back that result. I thought that this only happen when i have an empty meta description. Anyone felt the same ? Best Ricardo www.meuportalfinanceiro.pt

                            Duplicate Title and Meta Description Tags in Shopify with this App

                            Hello. I'm finding that by adding the Ultra SEO app in Shopify, I now have duplicates of the Title tags and Meta Descriptions. It looks like it's pulling title tags from the Shop info, the product or page titles as well as the Title tag I add in Ultra SEO. The website is 1bigcookie.com. The duplicate meta descriptions are from the text I entered in the meta description field in Ultra SEO. I entered the canonical url code shopify specifies to help with duplicate content, but what about duplicate title and meta description tags on the same page?

                            Missing meta descriptions on indexed pages, portfolio, tags, author and archive pages. I am using SEO all in one, any advice?

                            I am having a few problems that I can't seem to work out.....I am fairly new to this and can't seem to work out the following: Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂 1. I am missing alot of meta description tags. I have installed "All in One SEO" but there seems to be no options to add meta descriptions in portfolio posts. I have also written meta descriptions for 'tags' and whilst I can see them in WP they don't seem to be activated. 2. The blog has pages indexed by WP- called Part 2 (/page/2), Part 3 (/page/3) etc. How do I solve this issue of meta descriptions and indexed pages? 3. There is also a page for myself, the author, that has multiple indexes for all the blog posts I have written, and I can't edit these archives to add meta descriptions. This also applies to the month archives for the blog. 4. Also, SEOmoz tells me that I have too many links on my blog page (also indexed) and their consequent tags. This also applies to the author pages (myself ). How do I fix this? Thanks for your help 🙂 Regards Nadia
