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?

thanks for the schema code .
I already try with my personal website .please have a look at the code seo company in dubai

It is a AspDotNetStorefront E-commerce CMS. These developer tools are helpful. I have looked into the dynamic schema markup blog, but am not sure it is the best to implement this if there are a lot of products. I might also consider trying to have a developer implement article markup for a drupal site. This has been helpful thank you.

I agree what is storefront I can't find a CMS called storefront?
If Schema markup is being added to a brand new site, it’s much easier for developers to add the Schema as part of the site build, as opposed to layering it on after the website has already been coded. Developers benefit from SEOs telling them specifically which page elements require Schema (location, events, etc.) and a link to the respective Schema type on Schema.org, so the developer can figure out the best approach for implementation.
SEOs have largely taken ownership of writing JSON-LD themselves, which is great for speeding up the process of implementing Schema. JSON-LD is generally easiest for developers to implement, but adding inline Schema is usually simple as well. There are some plugins that can assist with the implementation, but they generally only support basic Schema types, such as the Website or Organization.
One way:

You can use Cloudflare
https://github.com/cloudflare/doca/blob/master/example/product.json

I hope I have been of help,

Thank you Tom,
We are on storefront currently. We had previously used the schema markup tool for some of their products. I have used Google markup helper and technicalseo.com resources before to create JSON-LD to fire in GTM for blogs, vidoes, how-to pages, etc but not for product pages. Mostly because I agree that it can be done in a better way. Maybe consulting with a developer to implement product markup is best.

HI
Can I ask what platform you are using? If you're using an e-commerce platform like Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, etc. There are simple ways of writing code that will do a better job as well as plug-ins that you can purchase and/or use for free.
Or if in the unlikely event you are just running an E-commerce website without a CMS you can still do this via coding. there is a method no matter what flavor of kosher using rather it be Ruby, PHP NodeJS, etc.
FYI
Google does NOT recommend Using Tag Manager to Implement Schema Markup.
John Mueller from Google advises against using Google Tag Manager to deploy Structured Data and mentions that the ideal solution is to add the structured data directly into the HTML. So ideally process it server-side and pass it via HTML instead of relying on a client-side solution like Javascript.
While this is not the ideal solution, as SEOs we know that we are not always in ideal situations and at times our best bet is to deploy it through a solution like Google Tag Manager. You could also look at deploying it via an Edge Computing Solution like Cloudflare Workers.
https://www.cloudflare.com/en-au/products/cloudflare-workers/
It is less than ideal to use Google tag manager to deploy JSON-LD to websites. It can be done but obviously it's not the best way.
just because it's not on the new search console yet does not mean that Google's structured data markup helper tool is obsolete.

Customer Reviews on Product Page / Pagination / Crawl 3 review pages only
Hi experts, I present customer feedback, reviews basically, on my website for the products that are sold. And with this comes the ability to read reviews and obviously with pagination to display the available reviews. Now I want users to be able to flick through and read the reviews to help them satisfy whatever curiosity they have. My only thinking is that the page that contains the reviews, with each click of the pagination will present roughly the same content. The only thing that changes is the title tags which will contain the number in the H1 to display the page number. I'm thinking this could be duplication but i have yet to be notified by Google in my Search console... Should i block crawlers from crawling beyond page 3 of reviews? Thanks

Size of image for article Schema
Hi, I implemented schema markup for an article and all tested fine and I can see it being fired in preview mode of Google Tag Manager. But when I run the URL which has it applied through Google Structured Testing tool it is not appearing. I have now read that the image needs to be a certain size. For AMP articles this appears to be 12oo pixels wide http://www.thesempost.com/google-changes-image-size-requirements-amp-articles/ But what about non-AMP articles? Does it need to be that big too?

Product Images with organic results in SERP
Hey Mozzers, I've noticed that several of our product page results in Google have the product image associated with them. Today is the first day I've seen this. Does anyone know anything about these? Has Google put anything out about this? Here's a couple examples: http://content.screencast.com/users/Will_Swales/folders/Jing/media/08a16dcf-505e-443c-866d-fae6d805743e/2014-03-31_1031.png http://content.screencast.com/users/Will_Swales/folders/Jing/media/04972e7b-f6b2-4e78-ab11-95c52d69a200/2014-03-31_1056.png What's interesting is that they don't show for me when I use Chrome's Incognito mode. Any insights much appreciated! Will

Can you mark up a page using Schema.org and Facebook Open Graph?
Is it possible to use both Schema.org and Facebook Open Graph for structured data markup? On the Google Webmaster Central blog, they say, "you should avoid mixing the formats together on the same web page, as this can confuse our parsers."

Starting a new product, should we use new domain or subdomain
I'm working with a company that has a high page rank on it's main domain and is looking to launch a new business / product offering. They are evaluating either creating a subdomain or launching a brand new domain. In either case, their current site will link contextually to the new site. Is there one method that would be better for SEO than the other? The new business / product is related to the main offering, but may appeal to different / new customers. The new business / product does need it's own homepage and will have a different conversion funnel than the existing business.
