Hi,
I want to confirm if Google QA structured data is supported or not? As per this blog https://community.khoros.com/t5/Khoros-Community-Blog/Best-SEO-Practices-Khoros-Platform/ba-p/581379 it's supported but I can't see this implemented anywhere and earlier there were issues with this structured data type.
Hello @NoorS I am the newbie here. I am developing community.ziggo.nl and community.vodafone.nl simultaniously at the moment.
Hi @Hoekstra_VFZ , Apologies for the delay. Sure let me help you out. Presently, I cannot comment on the availability Video structured data but that is something definitely under consideration.
Requesting @KrisS to help us enable Google QA structured data for the communities.
Thanks
@Hoekstra_VFZ you should see the schema now on both communities. For tracking purposes, would you please contact support@khoros.com and reference PDR-97628? My team should know what to do with that information.
Thanks all! I will let support know the reference nr. I see QApage structured data is working on all forumopics with 1 or more answers so short term goal is achieved.
I have the plan to write a short javascript snippet that catches the QA properties and exchange them with Video properties for selected pages. Will let you guys know if this works out.
Yes i think khoros support structured data and presently, Khoros platform generates schema for forum pages link. Khoros platform enables Q&A structured data for forum pages and i have even checked it. Do you want me to show you examples i would be happy to show .
Not sure if something is wrong with the QA structure on our pages. But the nr of QA errors detected by Google seem to stay around a stable 8,5K pages after a peak around the change from Insided to Khoros.
It says the field 'mainEntity' is missing.
Normally that would look something like this:
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "QAPage",
"mainEntity": {
"@type": "Question",
"name": "How many ounces are there in a pound?",
"text": "I have taken up a new interest in baking and keep running across directions in ounces and pounds. I have to translate between them and was wondering how many ounces are in a pound?",
"answerCount": 3,
"upvoteCount": 26,
"dateCreated": "2016-07-23T21:11Z",
"author": {
"@type": "Person",
"name": "New Baking User"
},
For instance on https://community.ziggo.nl/t5/TV-Radio/Verder-kijken-op-ander-apparaat/m-p/93987 Google search console detects this missing 'mainEntity'.
Does anyone know a fix and if this is supposed to happen and if this has a large influence on search? results?
@Hoekstra_VFZ there was an issue discovered with Google page errors around "mainentity" which was fixed in our upcoming 21.3 minor release. If you open a support ticket and reference LIA-69964, we can work with you to get you upgraded to that release with the fix so you don't have to wait for a major release next month.
Thanks Kris! I will raise a support ticket.
Hi @KrisS, circling back after a long time. Just want to check if Q&A structured data is not available for all the communities?
@hardials yes it is supported, but at present it's only enabled by request and needs to be turned on in the requested community's config by support. You can open a support case and request that enable.seo.QAPageSchema.forum be set to true and the team will take care of it.
