Schema Markup adds whitespace
-
We have this white space below our logo when our local schema markup is added: http://d.pr/i/73EmV0
Can the markup be hidden to remove the space and still be indexed by google?

Always use Google's easy tool to check if it's correct :
https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/
Droplr https://d.pr/n/kcCofm of code you need to add your logo & price range but you need to swap that out with a copy of the image uploaded to your server you can see where I added a Droplr URL just create a JPEG or PNG of your logo please replace with URL from your server the logo is here too https://i.imgur.com/NIcoDG6.jpg
I added the all your information above, your hours, social media URLs, longitude latitude for geo-coordinates, everything but the pricing which is explained below. you can add by simply putting this in "priceRange": "$$",
GeoCoordinates","latitude":35.23783,"longitude":-80.909208}
time convert Your hours 7:00 am = 7:00 7:00 PM = 19:00 & 5:00 PM = 17:00
time: http://projets.pavie.info/yohours/?oh=Mo-Th 07:00-19:00; Fr 07:00-17:00; Jan 16 off
** why you need to add image and price range **

Pricing
to add price range ad price and/or the number of $ from 1 to 3 very pricey $$$ the number of dollar signs indicates your price vs. the competition "priceRange": "$$", Like below.

| | itemprop="name">Heritage Custom Signs & Displays |
| | itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress"> |
| | itemprop="streetAddress">2731 Interstate Street |
| | itemprop="addressLocality">Charlotte, |
| | itemprop="addressRegion">NC |
| | itemprop="postalCode">28208 |

Hey Kevin,
Can you show me code your using for local schema?
if you are using Microdata it is most likely something modifying the code and making the white space.
One thing you can do is switch to JSON-LD it is faster and much easier to deploy. You can also use this tool to re-create your schema and check it with Google Webmaster tools in either format.
https://technicalseo.com/seo-tools/schema-markup-generator/ It even validates with Google.
I hope this helps,
Tom
PS Droper rocks I wish everyone used it.

How does Google read multiple Geo Shape Schema Mark Up?
Hi Guys, I posted a question recently about "Can I have multiple areaServed mark up on one domain?" and the responses I got was no. My client work predominantly in the South East of England in specific towns, so I wanted to be able to list all the areas they service. However, after being told no, I went ahead anyway and put in multiple areaServed markup on the page to see if this generates any errors and it isn't when I run it through the Structured Data Testing Tool. I don't get any errors by doing this, so hurray! But... What I want to understand (which I can't find the answer anywhere), is if this is okay, and how will Google read my markup? Will Google see that we are in multiple areas across the SE of England and push my content up before other sites, or is this just going to confused Google? By putting in all these areas into the website as multiple locations, will Google identify that person X in area Y fits the areaServed mark up I've added and push my content to them? Overall... has anyone else used multiple areaServed markup and can validate that this works? hHpEyQf

The company doesn't have physical locations but offers services in multiple cities and states across the US. We want to develop a better hyperlocal SEO strategy and implement schema but the only address information available is zip codes, names of cities and state.

Advice on applying Service Area Schema
So I have client that delivers goods to residential addresses and commercial businesses. They have 60+ distribution centers but want to target surrounding counties, cities and territories. Our development team was considering using virtual location pages (thousands) for these service areas. I have lobbied against this out of concern that Google would label these "doorway" pages. These pages would not have full addresses. I want to develop a strategy to gain coverage in these surrounding delivery areas. I was told that applying https://schema.org/serviceArea might help. However will this truly bring in the necessary visibility? Would having only a few key select virtual locations suffice (along with Service Area schema)? Any advice on applying https://schema.org/serviceArea attributes would be much appreciated.

Listing multiple schema Things (e.g. Organization, LocalBusiness, Telephone, Locations, Place, etc)
Greetings All, My law office features many pages with what are essentially directory listings (names, addresses, and phone numbers of places, agencies, organizations that clients might find helpful). Am I correct in assuming that using schema for each of these listings might cause confusion for search engines? In other words, are search engines looking for schema on pages or sites to tell them only about the company running that page or site, or do search engines appreciate schema markup to tell them about all the pieces of content on the pages or that site?

Does Schema Replace Conventional NAP in local SEO?
Hello Everyone, My question is in regards to Schema and whether the it replaces the need for the conventional structured data NAP configuration. Because you have the ability to specifically call out variables (such as Name, URL, Address, Phone number ect.) is it still necessary to keep the NAP form-factor that has historically been required for local SEO? Logically it makes sense that schema would allow someone to reverse this order and still achieve the same result, however I have yet to find any conclusive evidence of this being the case. Thanks, and I look forward to what the community has to say on this matter.
