Hi,

You can use the robot.txt to block unwanted sub domains and files from being indexed.

For example if I have website on a url www.website.com and a sub domain such as sub.webiste.com, in that root file my robot.txt file would read:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

This will stop the sub domain sub.webiste.com from being indexed.

Hi,

If you want to create a live testing in environment then I'd suggest you simply have the page live on a sub domain but then use the robot file to hide it entirely from the search engines.

Thanks

Hi,

If you're new to this the best place to go would be https://schema.org/docs/meddocs.html this will help explain the markup used along with examples.

Thanks

Hi,

Are you able to provide a link to the page?

From experience it's placing the wrong schema together which causes it to not validate.  Search console is usually 3 days behind in terms of collecting data so to sort it out immediately test the page through here => https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool

If after all this and your'e still having problems, go check out a website that serves up similar content and check how they've marked up their page.
