Ogranization Schema/Microformat for a content/brand website | Travel

Hi,
One of our clients have a website specific to a place, for eg. California Tourism in which they publish local information related to tourism, blogs & other useful content. I want to understand how useful is to publish Organization Schema on such website mentioning the actual Organization, which in this case is a Travel Agency? Or any other schema would fit in for such websites?

This of Schema as a unique set of information for each landing page. If you think the Schema is a general thing applied to all pages you are mistaken.
Each page should be set with its own unqiue schema.

Hi,
Implementing schema markup, including Organization Schema, can be very beneficial for your client's website, especially in the context of a travel agency focused on a specific region like California Tourism. Here are some key points to consider:
Enhanced Visibility: Using Organization Schema helps search engines understand the website better, potentially enhancing visibility in search results. It provides essential information about the travel agency, such as its name, logo, contact details, and more.
Credibility and Trust: Displaying structured data about the organization can enhance credibility and trust with visitors. It shows that the website is backed by a legitimate travel agency, which can reassure potential tourists looking for reliable information and services.
Improved Local SEO: Schema markup can significantly boost local SEO efforts. Including detailed information about the organization, like location and contact information, helps search engines deliver more relevant local search results.
Rich Snippets: Schema can enable rich snippets, which are more engaging and informative search results. This can increase click-through rates as users are more likely to click on results that stand out.
For a website focused on tourism, it might also be useful to explore other types of schema, such as Local Business Schema, Tourist Attraction Schema, and BlogPosting Schema. Each of these can provide additional context and detail to search engines, further enhancing SEO performance.

Hi,
One of our clients have a website specific to a place, for eg. California Tourism in which they publish local information related to tourism, blogs & other useful content. I want to understand how useful is to publish Organization Schema on such website mentioning the actual Organization, which in this case is a Travel Agency? Or any other schema would fit in for such websites?Hello,
Integrating the Organization Schema on a website dedicated to California Tourism, especially when operated by a Travel Agency, can be beneficial for several reasons. The Organization Schema, structured data markup that provides search engines with information about an organization, can enhance the way search engines understand and display your website's content in search results.
Here are some advantages of implementing the Organization Schema for a California Tourism website associated with a Travel Agency:
Search Engine Visibility:
The Organization Schema helps search engines better understand the context of your website. It provides specific details about your travel agency, such as its name, location, contact information, and other relevant details.
This improved understanding can contribute to better search engine visibility, making it easier for potential visitors to find your site when searching for California tourism-related information.
Rich Snippets:By implementing the Organization Schema, you increase the chances of your website appearing as a rich snippet in search results. Rich snippets provide users with more information directly on the search results page, making your listing more attractive and informative.
Trust and Credibility:Including structured data like Organization Schema can enhance the credibility of your travel agency. When search engines display detailed information about your organization, users are more likely to trust and click on your website.
Local SEO:For a website focused on California Tourism, local SEO is crucial. The Organization Schema allows you to specify your agency's location, which can positively impact local search results.
While Organization Schema is important, it's also worth considering other relevant schemas depending on the content of your website. For a tourism-focused site, you might also want to explore the following schemas:TouristAttraction Schema:
This schema can be used to markup specific tourist attractions in California, providing additional context to search engines about the key points of interest.
BlogPosting Schema:If your website publishes blogs, using the BlogPosting schema can help search engines understand the structure of your blog content, potentially improving its visibility.
Always ensure that your schema implementations align with the guidelines provided by schema.org and search engine best practices to maximize their effectiveness. -
Implement schemas certainly can help you to gain some visibility but there are many factors to keep in mind if you go to the site https://schema.org/ you will notice that there tons of options. So not all the schemas available are supported by Google. In Fact, in your case, you should focus on schemas supported by Google, Facebook, Pinterest etc.
Here you can find more information about the schemas supported by Google and Facebook
- https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/mark-up-content
- https://www.facebook.com/business/help/1175004275966513
So if you are working on a travel agency these are some schemas available for your content
- Local Business
- Articles
- Reviews
Also, there are schemas for the business info such as
- logo
- contact info
- location
- social profiles

SEO on dynamic website
Hi. I am hoping you can advise. I have a client in one of my training groups and their site is a golf booking engine where all pages are dynamically created based on parameters used in their website search. They want to know what is the best thing to do for SEO. They have some landing pages that Google can see but there is only a small bit of text at the top and the rest of the page is dynamically created. I have advised that they should create landing pages for each of their locations and clubs and use canonicals to handle what Google indexes.Is this the right advice or should they noindex? Thanks S

What does Disallow: /french-wines/?* actually do - robots.txt
Hello Mozzers - Just wondering what this robots.txt instruction means: Disallow: /french-wines/?* Does it stop Googlebot crawling and indexing URLs in that "French Wines" folder - specifically the URLs that include a question mark? Would it stop the crawling of deeper folders - e.g. /french-wines/rhone-region/ that include a question mark in their URL? I think this has been done to block URLs containing query strings. Thanks, Luke

Medical / Health Content Authority - Content Mix Question
Greetings, I have an interesting challenge for you. Well, I suppose "interesting" is an understatement, but here goes. Our company is a women's health site. However, over the years our content mix has grown to nearly 50/50 between unique health / medical content and general lifestyle/DIY/well being content (non-health). Basically, there is a "great divide" between health and non-health content. As you can imagine, this has put a serious damper on gaining ground with our medical / health organic traffic. It's my understanding that Google does not see us as an authority site with regard to medical / health content since we "have two faces" in the eyes of Google. My recommendation is to create a new domain and separate the content entirely so that one domain is focused exclusively on health / medical while the other focuses on general lifestyle/DIY/well being. Because health / medical pages undergo an additional level of scrutiny per Google - YMYL pages - it seems to me the only way to make serious ground in this hyper-competitive vertical is to be laser targeted with our health/medical content. I see no other way. Am I thinking clearly here, or have I totally gone insane? Thanks in advance for any reply. Kind regards, Eric

Moving half my website to a new website: 301?
Good Morning! We currently have two websites which are driving all of our traffic. Our end goal is to combine the two and fold them into each other. Can I redirect the duplicate content from one domain to our main domain even though the URL's are different. Ill give an example below. (The domains are not the real domains). The CEO does not want to remove the other website entirely yet, but is willing to begin some sort of consolidation process. ABCaddiction.com is the main domain which covers everything from drug addiction to dual diagnosis treatment. ABCdualdiagnosis.com is our secondary website which covers everything as well. Can I redirect the entire drug addiction half of the website to ABCaddiction.com? With the eventual goal of moving everything together.

[E-commerce] Duplicate content due to color variations (canonical/indexing)
Hello, We currently have a lot of color variations on multiple products with almost the same content. Even with our canonicals being set, Moz's crawling tool seems to flag them as duplicate content. What we have done so far: Choosing the best-selling color variation (our "master product") Adding a rel="canonical" to every variation (with our "master product" as the canonical URL) In my opinion, it should be enough to address this issue. However, being given the fact that it's flagged as duplicate by Moz, I was wondering if there is something else we should do? Should we add a "noindex,follow" to our child products and "index,follow" to our master product? (sounds to me like such a heavy change) Thank you in advance

Copying my Facebook content to website considered duplicate content?
I write career advice on Facebook on a daily basis. On my homepage users can see the most recent 4-5 feeds (using FB social media plugin). I am thinking to create a page on my website where visitors can see all my previous FB feeds. Would this be considered duplicate content if I copy paste the info, but if I use a Facebook social media plugin then it is not considered duplicate content? I am working on increasing content on my website and feel incorporating FB feeds would make sense. thank you
