Incorrect Schema

[MikeZur]

Hi

I have recently noticed that by mistake our eCommerce site was incorrectly using the schema mark up featured product sliders, upsells and category pages.

Example:

Im aware that google is not a fan of misusing the mark ups.

Would the above have a negative effect on rankings?

Google doesn't penalize for incorrect schema but the added attributes wont show up in search results. The issue comes in when people try to manipulate structured data to add rankings and additional info in the serps when it isn't applicable to that particular category. You will be fine but I'd look into getting it fixed.

Hope that helps some.

What Jordan says, getting the Schema wrong is just unfortunate but it shouldn't hurt you.
