JSON Schema with Multiple Affiliations

[seo_columbus]

I have an attorney that has multiple affiliations that I want to mark up with JSON schema. What is the best way to do this?...

Option #1:

"affiliation": "Example 1, Example 2",

Option #2

"affiliation": "Example 1",
"affiliation": "Example 2",

Or, is there another way to do this that I haven't considered?

Hello,

Your best option would be to follow the format below:

"affiliation": ["example 1", "example 2", "example 3"]

Don't forget to include a comma (,) after the closing bracket if there is another property following this.

Hope this helps!

Yes, I agree with Joe. Option 1 is the way to go as option 2 would most likely rewrite the existing Affiliation schema.

Just to clarify, my recommended format is not exactly Option 1, but it is close. They need to be sure to encase each individual 'affiliation/example' within it's own set of quotation marks, not just separated by a comma. Without doing so, search engines will see all the affiliations as a single entity rather than individual affiliations. Also, be sure to include all 'affiliations/examples' within brackets [ ]

See how Moz's set up their 'sameAs' schema? This is the format that should be followed.
