Can I add FAQS schema on my homepage?
-
Hello, can we have the FAQ code on the homepage (staff time)?
we have written some questions and answers in the drop-down list on the homepage,
and also add the schema code script to one tag of the page,
but it does not work!
-
Yes, If you have a portion of FAQ's on homepage you can add faq schema to it. It will help in rich snippet.
-
Yes you could absolutely. However I think you mark up is excellent for a lot of things it’s not known for driving traffic. Just so your aware google tells us ”
- Don’t use
FAQPage
for advertising purposes.”
I doubt your homepage would count but you never now in addition FAQ content turns to get clicked on very seldomly.
Because the answers to the questions are found in the SERPS people do not have to leave Google to find the answers
I know taking up more googles real estate sounds good like a featured snippet but not if your customer only cares about the answers & Google is already providing them. Which FAQ does extremely well.
below I tested your page tested as well as a mock up of inappropriately marked up page hopefully this will be of help
also below are what Google considers valid and invalid reasons for FAQ schema
look at the top of the page for errors some of your fonts aren’t loading

here’s an example of what it might look like with the correct FAQ markup

One of my favorite tools for generating structured data in JSON-LD FAQ is built-in.

Schema Markup for Multiple Locations
I am reaching out to see if I correctly set up Schema Markup on our website for multiple locations.Our company has HQ in Little Chute WI but we have 6 other office locations. We have a separate page for each office within our website. I inserted ProfessionalService Schema Markup, using GTM. I used the address of our HQ Little Chute office on all pages besides the 6 pages that have different office locations. I then individually set up unique ProfessionalService Schema Markup for the 6 locations with their unique location addresses. Did I do this correctly? Thanks

Phone: NUMBER I've tried to put it inside the head, body & footer of the HTML code. I want my website to show up properly through Google Structured Data Testing Tool however, I don't want the text to show up on my website not stylized. It sticks out like a soar thumb no matter where I incorporate it. My questions are; Should I even bother with Schema.org? And, is there a way to incorporate it into my website so it does not show up and Google can still pull it up? Thanks ahead of time for all of the awesome responses! B/R Will H.0 -
Can you buy backlinks from fiverr?
Hi Mozers, I though a while ago I heard that buying backlinks was a no go, until I seen and read this article: I notice the guy that wrote the article suggested that you can buy backlinks from fiverr, and also just make sure they are do-follow backlinks. Can someone please correct me and perhaps clear my confusion over this. As far as I knew it was best to build backlinks by doing guest posting and engaging in relevant forums? Heres the article: http://socialmediafuze.com/10-backlink-strategies-business/ Thanks guys

Title tags seem to be going against Rand and suggestions here, what can I do? Can you help me please?
Hi to all, Ok so I have been beating myself up trying to figure out how to create a good ranking title for my websites homepage. My competition uses commas in its title tags But these are 100% against what Rand and many posts say here. I watched his whiteboard where he says don't use commas. There are posts that say, don't use commas. The biggest one is mortonbuildings(dot)com - followed by - lesterbuildings(dot)com They basically have the same title tags with commas. So what's the catch here? What am I missing? of course these sites have Great Domain Authority, but I swear what they are doing is going against what Rand and many other seo professional's are preaching. I thought it should read better for visitors? But to me it looks like keyword stuffing with a brand name? Any help is greatly appreciated to let me know if these commas and strategies are good to do? or bad news? Again thank you for your time to help a small business. Chris
