          Can adding multiple locations on a single page be confusing to Google?

          Is using "LocalBusiness" with "branchof" the proper way of doing this?

          Does anyone know of any resources that go into this type of thing in more detail?

          I've read everything Google, Schema and SeoMoz seem to have on this topic. Thanks.

            Hi Kris,
            Thank you for giving me a clearer picture of the business model. Unfortunately, there is a serious lack of documentation as to a 'correct' use of Schema in this scenario. Presumably, you've already seen documents like these:

            http://schema.org/LocalBusiness

            http://schema.org/Restaurant

            This is the only type of example I have seen of this, and while these documents identify elements you can use, they don't give directions for how you MUST use them.

            To my mind, the branchof tag would be for something like a franchise - a fast food chain or bank or something like that which has a corporate headquarters and branch locations. Please understand, I'm saying this is just my reading of the definition of that tag, but I have a feeling every business experimenting with schema is coming up with their own definitions of what these things mean.

            Before Schema, when I was doing everything in hCard, I would simply create a different hCard data set for each business in a multi-location situation. This was pretty simple, but Schema offers so many different attributes.

            I'll ask the other moderators here if they can give any additional input. In the meantime, in case this helps, here is a very nice free schema generator tool I found out about a month or so ago:

            http://schema-creator.org/

            Please check back in. One of our other smart mods may have more to add to this subject.

              Hi Miriam Thanks for the Response.

              This is a Local CPA firm with 4 separate locations, 1 of which is used as the main mailing address, but none are really a corporate headquarters. All 4 locations are currently on the index page, the locations page, and in the footer of every page.

              Thanks for the help

                Hi Kris,

                How many locations are you considering putting on a single page, what type of page is it, and what is the business model? Is it a franchise with corporate headquarters, or a collection of locations with no corporate headquarters?

                Please, provide a bit more detail. Thanks!

                  Do you need to include the top menu on every single page of the site in the code?

                  When using     cache:     on google, and clicking on Text-only version, our site has the top menu gibberish on top? My feeling is that this take away SEO juice from our title and focus keyword. Our website is culinarydepotinc.com

                  Page Title Length

                  Hi Gurus, I understand that it is a good practice is to use 50-60 characters for the a page title length. Google appends my brand name to the end of each title (15 characters including spaces) it index. Do I need to count what google adds as part of the maximum recommended length? i.e.  
                  is the maximum 50-60 characters + the 15 characters brand name Google adds to the end of the title or 50-60 including the addition? Many thanks!
                  Lev

                  Recommended Schema for a Collection/Category page?

                  Hi There! Taking on a  small project up updating and adding in Schema to a clients site; a previous developer half put in data vocabulary. In my planning I was wondering if their would be a best schema type for category page of products - or a collection of products? Any ideas and experience? Thanks!

                  Noindex child pages (whose content is included on parent pages)?

                  I'm sorry if there have been questions close to this before... I've using WordPress less like a blogging platform and more like a CMS for years now... For content management purposes we organize a lot of content around Parent/Child page (and custom-post-type) relationships; the Child pages are included as tabbed content on the Parent page. Should I be noindexing these child pages, since their content is already on the site, in full, on their Parent pages (ie. duplicate content)? Or does it not matter, since the crawlers may not go to all of the tabbed content? None of the pages have shown up in Moz's "High Priority Issues" as duplicate content but it still seems like I'm making the Parent pages suffer needlessly... Anything obvious I'm not taking into consideration? By the by, this is my first post here @ Moz, which I'm loving; this site and the forums are such a great resource! Anyways, thanks in advance!
