Schema Markup adds whitespace

[KevnJr]

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?

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.

Always use Google's easy tool to check if it's correct :

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

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.
