Why is Amazon crawling my website? Is this hurting us?
My website https://www.avenuessouthresidences.com also has traffic coming from Amazon bots. I wonder if it's my competitors doing something funny or it's Amazon itself doing it.

Important pages are being 302 redirected, then 301 redirected to support language versions. Is this affecting negatively the linking juice distribution of our domain?
I'm can't fully understand why you would use 302 redirections, these are meant to be for tempory redirects only. https://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection

Validated pages on GSC displays 5x more pages than when performing site:domain.com?
Hi there! On the one hand, site: number of results is not the exact nor the current amount of URLs that Google has indexed. It's only just a way of seeing how much results there are. Google said that it's optimized for speed, that why it's an estimated number. You should trust whats reported in Search Console. On the other, it's possible that Google has checked an URL and considered as valid on one time and not index it, because of canonicals, similar content or any other reason. If you find some URL not indexed, yet reported as indexed in the coverage report, try checking it through the Inspect URL tool, then asking for the TEST LIVE URL option. There you may find some answers. Hope it helps. Best luck. Gaston

Is it a good idea to create a faceted navigation on your footer?
All great points, Andreas, and thanks for sharing that resource with Ty1986. I just want to call out user expectation (and ultimately user experience): our expectation is that faceted navigation narrows or alters content on a page. Users _expect _to see this in an easy-to-find place, such as above or to the left of the content the facets will alter. Unless you're proposing a sticky footer-style faceted nav (one that follows the user as they scroll), I encourage you not to use your footer for facets.

Structured data: Product vs auto rental schema?
Not 100% sure if Google even reads AutoRental schema on web-pages, though there is some evidence to suggest that Google sees valid usage of AutoRental in emails If you go here: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/product On the left-hand sidebar, you can see a list of all the different schemas which Google documents that they support. AutoRental isn't present there. A Google search helps to confirm this. But they do list "LocalBusiness" schema, of which "AutomotiveBusiness" and "AutoRental" are valid sub types, so I assume that using AutoRental would be ok and acceptable by Google It does seem that this site: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kayak.co.uk%2FCheap-Leicester-Car-Hire.6700.cars.ksp (Structured Data results for a car rental site) is indeed using product schema to list all the vehicles on offer, so I think it could be a good supplementary schema to go alongside AutoRental These guys: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.enterprise.com%2Fen%2Fcar-rental%2Flocations%2Fus%2Fny%2Fnew-york.html - are using AutoRental, and Google's structured data tool does indeed pick it up Check more of your competitors using Google's Structured Data testing tool, if enough of them are using product schema on the vehicular product listings then I'd see no good reason to omit it
