Happy 2016 Steve!
The plugin makes available the option to markup the Social Profile Links (Organization or Person type). Google also makes available other ways to customize a company’s Knowledge Graph, for example, a user can markup their company’s logo image. If a user chooses Organization is it possible to add the option to include the logo in the markup?
The other feature available for customizing the Knowledge Graph is Corporate Contacts. Including this option if a user chooses Organization would be great too.
When assisting AISEOP users in the webmaster forum I’m finding that if they use the plugin to add the markup they either forgo marking up the other features or they add an additional block of JSON-LD markup to make the data available to Google (and on occasion, two additionals blocks). The downside is that the Organization type is duplicated (or triplicated).
For example, if a user enables Social Profile Links for Organization via the plugin, the plugin generates the following markup.
<script type=”application/ld+json”>
{ “@context” : “https://schema.org”,
“@type” : “Organization”,
“name” : “Organization name”,
“url” : “https://www.example.com”,
“sameAs” : [“https://plus.google.com/+CompanyName/posts”%5D
}
</script>
If they want to add the logo markup they have to markup the feature separately, see below.
<script type=”application/ld+json”>
{ “@context” : “https://schema.org”,
“@type” : “Organization”,
“url” : “https://www.example.com”,
“logo” : “https://www.example.com/logo-image.jpg”
}
</script>
If the option was available to include the logo image and corporate contacts it would prevent results like this one and provide a result like this one instead.
I hope this makes sense.
