Who Needs Schema?

        You Do!




       @CarrieHill   #smx #22c
Why
  Use
Schema?

Servicing Locations

The Need to be Discovered

When there are hundreds or thousands of
websites competing for the same real estate –
you need a leg up on the competition.

1. Are your competitors using Schema
   already?
2. Can you be the first in your niche to
   implement?
3. What opportunities can you glean and how
   can you match a schema protocol to it?

              @CarrieHill   #smx #22c
Trying to be
      different!
     None – What’s Up Amazon?

What can I Schema

                  AT LEAST
            574 Different Options
  That’s 328,902 combinations of 2 schemas
That’s 188,131,944 combinations of 3 schemas
           That’s a lot of Schemas!

Fun factoid – We’re only 238,900 miles from the
                     Moon!

Events -


     Google’s Data Highlighter Tool
     “works” for events only – but it
      doesn’t really work very well.

               Oops


           @CarrieHill   #smx #22c
Offer
You can only format 1 product per page, but
you CAN put multiple offers on that one
product. Ebay is a prime example:

Editor's Notes

  1. Amazon has markup, I’m told, but they have it “hosted” elsewhere, not in the code
  2. Recipe, Breadcrumbs, Image, authorship, publisher
  3. Wrote a post January 2013, used data highlighter – let it sit until Mid-feb – no event markup in SERP – changed to Schema markup using Schema Creator WP plugin – saw event markup in SERP within a week.
