Hi, I have managed to get local business schema with multi business addresses working (Using custom code) but failed to get FAQ to generate the schema at all, is there some sample video on how to properly set that up? I have tried the following
1. created my second rule under structured data, call it rule for FAQ (after rule for localbusiness)
2. make it run on all pages
3. Tried the following
a. CSS Selectors,
Making "h5" as question, and "h6" as answer on a page, change one of my page question to and the answer
Result, tested that page url on https://search.google.com/test/rich-results
Didn't pick that up, no FAQ schema at all
b. CSS Selector
Making .question and declare \<\h3 class="question" \> my question \<\h 3>
then using div tag so I declared .answer and put up a div class="answer" \> \<\p\>my answers blah blah <\/p> < \div \>
Same result above, no FAQ schema when tested on google rich result.
c. Short codes
Tried putting in
{4seo_faq_question_start}, {4seo_faq_question_end} and {4seo_faq_answer_start}, {4seo_faq_answer_end}
on question and answer, result same as above. nothing on FAQ schema
Much appreciated if there are more documentations that describe these ? Thanks.

Hi again,

And also the current situation: what is the current rule set up in 4SEO, among the various things you tried.

Assuming all else works fine (cache cleared, etc), I suspect the problem here is having the LocalBusiness markup on that page. You can't have 2 entity types on the same page and from recollection, after applying LocalBusiness 4SEO will not apply FAQ.

You should apply localbusiness to your homepage, and also to pages such as contact pages for instance (See SearchEngineCentral on that matter, or Google Webmaster Video on that for instance). Then you can have FAQ markup for your FAQ pages, etc See also this piece for general SD organization.

Disable your local business markup and check if the FAQ appears (just look up the source code, no need to go to Google test tool each time, or use our SEOInfo browser extension for even quicker checks).

Thank you for pointing out. I have fixed the issue.
The schema rule allowed under 4seo is Articles, blog, FAQ etc,
The rule I created was defaulted to Article since there are no local business available. To solve it, I have to delete the rule and move the localbusiness schema out of 4SEO and insert elsewhere. It's now working with both localbusiness and FAQ for the page.

LocalBusiness is of course readily available with 4SEO. But it's not a rule type. It' something you defined as the business owner, once for your site (as mentioned above, it's not something that goes onto all your pages.).

Here is the LocalBusiness documentation paragraph and here are a few screenshots of Structured data | Settings:

After enabling LocalBusiness markup, be sure to enter all required details on the next tab (Default organization):

We have an automated GPS location finder based on your adress:

Likewise for entering opening times, there are multiple options:

There might be some missing fields for your specific usage and currently we do not have a "Custom field" for LocalBusiness however.

Thank You Yannick,

Yes, I did have that but it only accept a single location and we have multiple offices.

Anyway, it's working now and I really love this tool. It helped me create FAQ content without programming skill from my content creator.

Now I am looking at product. It would be wonderful to have similar setting where the product sku, description etc is on the web and CSS selector configuration allow creation of schema like you did in FAQ.

I did have that but it only accept a single location and we have multiple offices.

Multiple offices may happen but with no ETA.

A simple custom field, similar to what's available elsewhere, will let you enter, well, custom json so that you add more offices manually and will happen earlier.

Now I am looking at product. It would be wonderful to have similar setting where the product sku, description etc is on the web and CSS selector configuration allow creation of schema like you did in FAQ.

That's not on the roadmap, although I see where you're coming from. The plan is first to provide automated support for common Joomla extension (we already do Hikashop). The main goal of 4SEO is to do the right things with automation wherever possible, as few people are actually aware of what should be done.

Full manual data entry is already possible, and what you describe, semi-automation based on CSS selectors, is kind of in the middle but it requires quite some user interface work (and therefore more options presented user, translation, documentation,...).

It does make sense for a range of people, you're the second one asking for it, so I have added it to our tracker. Just don't hold your breath!

Hi again,

After getting the FAQ working, I have to admit I am hopelessly obsessed with your concept of CSS selector and have been searching to do not only FAQ, but to extend that to product, video etc.

Was hoping to use replacer to search and replace the entire schema for product and video but unseccessfully, maybe due to the fact that replace only work on actual string instead of class= or {} and unable to replace with meta tag.

I am looking for Fiverr to write me some customized code to achieve that, and willing to invest into your product if you are open to this.

correction. Actually I managed to get that working on replacer. Just to to define carefully and voila. Thanks for reading.
