      Hi,

      Since few weeks now we received this message saying that our website is in conflict with the guidelines of Google's Webmaster.

      Here is the website for which we received the message from Google: http://www.gocustomized.es/. This url redirect to https://www.gocustomized.es/

      I thought after reading your some messages from the forum that the problem was our website reviews which appear on all pages of the site. And I know that the review of the websites shouldn't be considered like the review of the product. But we remove the reviews and our request is still declined.

      Thanks in advance for your help.

            I checked part of that message in Google translate (had to type out what was in the image so didn't do it all!).

            Point 2 in the list "use the details in the Manual Action Viewer to resolve outstanding issues"

            Any such wording, I'd click the link, see what it says. copy/paste the text into Google Translate and paste here, explaining it's via translate and may not be quite right.

            That should help folks to help you 🙂

              The button in the email brings me to the search console with the message below (translated with google translate) and the link "Learn more" goes to that page https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/3498001?ctx=MAC&hl=en

              I'm not sure to understand what is wrong on my website. I hope someone can help me with that.

              manual actions

              This site may not perform well in Google search results, because it is the Webmaster Guidelines violates Google.

              Agreements on the entire site , some manual actions are applicable to the whole site

                This is spammy structured markup penalty (likely this) or pure spam penalty. Can help.

                Have you seen my private message?

                  Hi Krzysztof,

                  I saw indeed, that's a Spammy Structured Markup, it's what Google says in the message but What do I need to do to make it better?

                    Guidelines are general. Each website is different case so you have to check if your markups are spammy or not. Spammy means:

                    • too much selected for structured markups

                    • improper use of markups

                    • markups in markups

                    and so on...
