Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for your answers. It seems bizarre that there are so many hoops to jump to post a visible review. I understand that it could be opened up for spam but at the same time it is hard enough to get a review sometimes and my clients won't be spending time writing loads on Yelp- Facebook yes- but not Yelp. So I guess I just have to hope!

Sorry if this is a daft question but... what is the difference between Rich snippets and Schema markup? Are they one and the same? They seem to be used interchaneably and I'm confused. If someone could give a brief sentence or two about the differences between them that would be great.

Thanks

Thanks Roman for trying to help. I guess what I was asking is from a Rich Snippets point of view, why bother with specific schema types- what is the difference in the search results to using specific types such as blogposting types versus article types. I understand the difference between articles and blogs and what they represent but why bother using specific schema types? Do they present differently as rich snippets?

My client has received a bad review on Google and although has other good ones, wants to delete the current Google My Business page and open a new one. I disagree with this strategy but need some evidence to back it up. They are ranking well and so I don't want to upset the cart. I need reasons not to in terms of potentially harming rankings. Am I right that this could impact?

Hello,

Can anyone suggest the best tool for a visual HTML sitemap? I want to show what a website looks like architecturally before and be able to drag pages around visually to show an enhanced site architecture. I have looked at a few tools online but would like to try before I buy and also get recommendations.

Any ideas?

Most if not all PR sites are now nofollow links so won't help directly your ranking. However,, like James said, the PR may send traffic to your site which can help.

Thanks. Yes my concern is that the person who left the bad review (and wasn't a real customer) would come back to the new GMB and do it all again.

Thanks Dan. That is interesting about what you say about using the Article Schema as opposed to Blog post one. Also the fact that you have a chance for the "in depth" spots.

Many thanks

Thanks Joe for your insight.

I've got the answer myself but didn't know how to delete my question - sorry

The client has really pushed his clients to write a Google review so think we are going to keep the GMB and push the bad review low. The review was a spam review from a "Local Guide" as the client has not got a record of this person's interaction with the company i.e. he never used their services. The client has flagged it with Google but nothing has been done.

Thanks

Hi,

I was implementing JSON-LD via Google Tag Manager but have since read that it is better to place directly on the web page.

My questions are:

1. Where exactly do you add the JSON-LD - I mean physically?  This article by Moz says the head or body. Does it matter where in the head? At the end?

2. If you do not have development access- is there an easy way to insert?

3. Can you view the added JSON-LD directly on the web page after you have added it or is it not visible in the source once you have added it this way ? If you cannot see it, how do you view? Or it it just OK to use the Google Structured Testing tool as evidence that it is being seen by Google?

Thanks
