Hotels Schema.org
-
I am looking at potentially using some Schema mark up on hotel listing pages. This is for an OTA where lots of hotels from all over the world are available for selection (think hotels.com, booking.com, agoda.com etc)
For the itemscope itemtype on say the hotel name should I be defining it as http://schema.org/hotel or http://schema.org/localbusiness
For example against the hotel name I would have:
Grand Plaza Hanoi
I assume its the former, but I was just after some 2nd opinions.
Thanks,
Ben

Their current solution seems to be something along the lines of:
***** Rating: 8.4/10 - 900 Reviews
almost forcing two different review "views" into the same listing, which seems a little dumb from a UI perspective.

Thanks again,
This is an area where Google seem a bit pants to be honest. I have seen loads of examples where a hotel might have a rating of 7 out of 10 and Google shows 5 stars in the rich snippet data.
Not exactly a great user experience right there.

Boom:
<div< span="">itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating">
<meta< span="">itemprop="worstRating" content = "1">
<span< span="">itemprop="ratingValue">1</span<>/
<span< span="">itemprop="bestRating">5</span<>stars</meta<></div<>See this URL for better details: http://schema.org/Review
For the overall rating, you'll want to use http://schema.org/AggregateRating which can also be done on a larger scale.
I have only seen examples of Google using 5 star reviews in their rich snippets. I have not yet seen an example of 4 or 10 star rankings used in rich snippets. Maybe they'll adopt it down the road, maybe they'll convert to 5 stars, or maybe they'll continue ignoring it. Perhaps just consider displaying the aggregate rating as a 5 star scale, and the rest as 10?

Thanks Kane - looks like I am on the right track then. The other area I am struggling on is the mark up around reviews / star ratings.
i.e., what happens if your star ratings aren't out of 5? Google seems to make a mess of the display. I.e., I can find a hotel with a rating of 7/10 where Google will show it as 5 star in the results set.
So do I try and force the adoption of using a scale from 1-5 or is it possible to use schema mark up on a 1-10 scale?

Yup, take a look at the microdata generator for restaurants (none built for hotels yet that I have seen):
http://www.microdatagenerator.com/restaurant-schema
That gives you a good comparison for how the hotel format should look. Here's an example implementation for a restaurant:

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?

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?

Will my site get devalued if I add the same company schema to all the pages of my website?
If I add the exact same schema markup to every page on my website - is it considered duplicate content? Our CMS is telling me that if I want schema mark-up on our site that it has to be the same on every page on the website. This limitation is frustrating but I am trying to figure out the best way to work within their boundaries. Your help is appreciated.

Should I Focus on Video Schema or a Video Sitemap First
Hey all, I'm working on a website that is soon going to launch a video hub that contains over 500 videos. I'm interested in ensuring that the videos show up on the SERPs page in the highest position possible. I know Google recommends that you have on-page schema for your videos as well as an XML sitemap so they can be indexed for SERP. When I look at schema and the XML video sitemap they seem to communicate very similar kinds of information (Title, Description, Thumbnail, Duration). I'm not sure which one to start with; is it more important to have video schema or a video sitemap? Additionally, if anyone knows of any good video sitemap generators (free is best, but cheap is okay too) then please let me know. Cursory google searching has just churned up a number of tools that look sketchy.

Is Schema markup important for SEO?
I have recently come across the Schema markup and have researched what it's all about. Basically in short it helps search engines identify all the elements of the page. Our competitors have this implementated, so is this important for SEO? We have an e commerce store.

Schema.org for restaurant menus
Hi i have looking into ways that i can apply shema.org formatting to a website that has a collection of restaurant menus. I found related schema.org formats (eg recipes, reviews, products etc) though can not seem to find a format set out for menu items. I am considering using the product format (http://schema.org/Product) for each menu item on a restaurant menu though not sure if this would add much value or not. I was hoping Google when then know more about the data collected on the website and be able to show it more accurately to the end user when they are searching for this data (restaurant menu), with rich snippets in serp results. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Why isn't Google pushing my Schema data to the search results page
I believe we have it set up right. I'm noticing all my competitors schema data is showing up which is really giving them a leg up on us. We have a high ranking website so I'm just not sure why it's now showing up. Here is an example URL http://www.airgundepot.com/3576w.html I've used the Google webmaster tools tester and it all looks fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
