Product schema with no offer as owner wants to give price per customer

 Hi, Trying to markup products for a site that does not show prices. Is there any way to markup a product price when the business model is: 1. customer calls or contacts shop. 2. shop gives a price quote based on level of detail and finish on the product 3. there is no base or top price. Thanks in advance!

 I know it's been a couple years since you guys thought about this thread but I'm currently having this exact issue and was wondering if you came up with a workable solution?

 We don't sell online and I'm having the exact same problem. I'd love to implement Schema but I don't see how without listing a price.

 Perhaps Search Console is looking from the point of view of a rich snippet and that your code is not valid for that. I guess that even though your schema is valid, it is not treated as such by Google. I did a little searching about and there are a few people asking similar questions around "Call for quote" or similar, but no one had an answer other than "Don't include a price". As Google won't include a product in rich snippets without a price, I'm not sure it is actually an issue that the Search Console is reporting an error, I would imagine Google is likely just ignoring the markup, but will still crawl and index the rest of the page. Either way, I'm not sure you have much choice. Interestingly, according to Schema.org, you can use text (not just numbers) for the price property so you could test putting "Call for price" in that property, although I strongly suspect Google would simply highlight that as an error.

 Hi Alex, That is "exactly" what I did. Structured data tool says it's valid while Search Console says it's an error :-/. I should add the error search console gives is: Either "offers", "review", or "aggregateRating" should be specified

 "Price" is not a property of "Product", but rather a property of "Offer" which in turn is an optional property of "Product". I.e. a Product can optionally have an offer, which must have a price. Therefore you could list a product without an offer which would be valid, but I'm not sure how Google would then treat it, it's not something I've tried.

		Safety Data Sheet PDFs are Showing Higher in Search Results than Product Pages
 I have a client who just launched an updated website that has WooCommerce added to it. The website also has a page of Safety Data Sheets that are PDFs that contain information about some of the products. When we do a Google search for many of the products the Safety Data Sheets show up first in the search results instead of the product pages. Has anyone had this happen and know how to solve the issue? Technical SEO | | teamodea0

		Schema.org product offer with a price range, or multiple offers with single prices?
 I'm implementing Schema.org, (JSON-LD), on an eCommerce site. Each product has a few different variations, and these variations can change the price, (think T-shirts, but blue & white cost $5, red is $5.50, and yellow is $6). In my Schema.org markup, (using JSON-LD), in each Product's Offer, I could either have a single Offer with a price range, (minPricd: $5, maxPrice $6), or I could add a separate Offer for each variation, each with its own, correct, price set. Is one of these better than the other? Why? I've been looking at the WooCommerce code and they seem to do the single offer with a price range, but that could be because it's more flexible for a system that's used by millions of people.

		How do I handle duplicate content of the same product in Multiple product categories?
 I am building a BigCommerce store for selling framed art. Many of the pieces of art will fall in more than one product category. Let's say I have a framed print of a photograph of a western landscape. This piece of art would fit into these categories; "western", "landscape", and "photography". I would have three pages with duplicate content for just this one framed print. Will google give me less page rank due to this? Can all the link juice be given to just one of the three categories by use of rel=canonical? If so, does anyone know how to do this for a bigcommerce site? I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Kelly Technical SEO | | Kelly_S0

		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."
