Structured data: Product vs auto rental schema?
-
Hi mozzers,
If you are rental company, is it useful to add both the product and auto rental schemas or auto rental schema on its own should just be enough?
Finally, on the auto rental schema, you have to add an address. Could we just add a city instead of an entire address and avoid receiving a warning message on the strutured data testing tool?
Thank you.

@Ty1986 You thoughts are admirable for me. I was looking for the information that you have provided and i had been found here. Let me introduce what kind of relevant services we are working on :

To serve our customers, we have a wide range of luxurious and comfortable sitting business-class vehicles. BNL guarantees Boston the Best Logan Airport car services. We have the best car drivers.

Not 100% sure if Google even reads AutoRental schema on web-pages, though there is some evidence to suggest that Google sees valid usage of AutoRental in emails
If you go here:
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/product
On the left-hand sidebar, you can see a list of all the different schemas which Google documents that they support. AutoRental isn't present there. A Google search helps to confirm this. But they do list "LocalBusiness" schema, of which "AutomotiveBusiness" and "AutoRental" are valid sub types, so I assume that using AutoRental would be ok and acceptable by Google
It does seem that this site: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kayak.co.uk%2FCheap-Leicester-Car-Hire.6700.cars.ksp (Structured Data results for a car rental site) is indeed using product schema to list all the vehicles on offer, so I think it could be a good supplementary schema to go alongside AutoRental
These guys: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.enterprise.com%2Fen%2Fcar-rental%2Flocations%2Fus%2Fny%2Fnew-york.html - are using AutoRental, and Google's structured data tool does indeed pick it up
Check more of your competitors using Google's Structured Data testing tool, if enough of them are using product schema on the vehicular product listings then I'd see no good reason to omit it

Can an "Event" in Structured Data For Google Be A Webinar?
I have a client who is has structured data for live business webinars. Google's documentation seems to talk more about music and tickets than this kind of thing. At the same time, we get an error in search console for "Name" and location, which they list as "webinar." Should I removed this failed structured data attempt or is there a way to fix it? Thanks!

Description vs meta description
I have an e-commerce website and am trying to create product category pages. I am under the impression that Description is the text that would appear under the title on a google search and I believe the meta description is just what google reads? Is having BOTH important or just description? Is it ok to duplicate the description for the meta description? I know its not good to duplicate descriptions on other products and pages.

Hreflang in vs. sitemap?
Hi all, I decided to identify alternate language pages of my site via sitemap to save our development team some time. I also like the idea of having leaner markup. However, my site has many alternate language and country page variations, so after creating a sitemap that includes mostly tier 1 and tier 2 level URLs, i now have a sitemap file that's 17mb. I did a couple google searches to see is sitemap file size can ever be an issue and found a discussion or two that suggested keeping the size small and a really old article that recommended keeping it < 10mb. Does the sitemap file size matter? GWT has verified the sitemap and appears to be indexing the URLs fine. Are there any particular benefits to specifying alternate versions of a URL in vs. sitemap? Thanks, -Eugene

Microsites: Subdomain vs own domains
I am working on a travel site about a specific region, which includes information about lots of different topics, such as weddings, surfing etc. I was wondering whether its a good idea to register domains for each topic since it would enable me to build backlinks. I would basically keep the design more or less the same and implement a nofollow navigation bar to each microsite. e.g.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | kinimod
weddingsbarcelona.com
surfingbarcelona.com or should I rather go with one domain and subfolders: barcelona.com/weddings
barcelona.com/surfing I guess the second option is how I would usually do it but I just wanted to see what are the pros/cons of both options. Many thanks!0 -
Lowercase VS. Uppercase Canonical tags?
Hi MOZ, I was hoping that someone could help shed some light on an issue I'm having with URL structure and the canonical tag. The company I work for is a distributor of electrical products and our E-commerce site is structured so that our URL's (specifically, our product detail page URL's) include a portion (the part #) that is all uppercase (e.g: buy/OEL-Worldwide-Industries/AFW-PG-10-10). The issue is that we have just recently included a canonical tag in all of our product detail pages and the programmer that worked on this project has every canonical tag in lowercase instead of uppercase. Now, in GWT, I'm seeing over 20,000-25,000 "duplicate title tags" or "duplicate descriptions". Is this an issue? Could this issue be resolved by simply changing the canonical tag to reflect the uppercase URL's? I'm not too well versed in canonical tags and would love a little insight. Thanks!

Canonical link vs root domain
I have a wordpress website installed on http://domain.com/home/ instead of http://domain.com - Does it matter whether I leave it that way with a canonical link from the domain.com to the domain.com/home/ or should I move the wordpress files and database to the root domain?
