Help on implementing schema.org in our hotel website

[shebinhassan]

Hi,

We came across with this schema.org and we decide that it will be helpful in our website if we can implement it properly. But somehow reading through the documents still makes us confused on how to use it.

Can anybody show me how to use it?

For example in our homepage www.florahospitality.com I can use the itemType Local business on the content but I can also use the itemType Hotel on the Hotel Listing dropdown.

Is it advisable the two type at the same time?

Hotel is inhereted from localbusiness, so by using hotel then you are saying that you are a local business of the type hotel.

Does having a lot of property helps in the ranking?

[AlanMosley]

That i can not tell, you but i would say yes.

If uyou were a search engine and someone searched for a hotel, you can return a page with the term hotel on it, a page with a hotel object on it, or a page with a well filled in hotel object on it.

I would say that the latter is of much more use.

Alan,

I love it when someone says "I don't know." It shows they are freakin' smart. You are. Good answer.

Hello Shebin, I wish I had more personal experience with Schema to offer you. I wonder if this resource might help: http://blumenthals.com/blog/2011/10/07/a-free-tool-to-build-geo-sitemap-and-schema-org-compliant-files/ Good Luck! Miriam
