Local Business Schema requirements

    Hi,
    Thanks for the great plugin! It appears that at some point the schema for “Local Business” was updated to require an “image” and it’s recommended to include a value for “priceRange”. When I test a page using the plugin with google’s Structured Data Testing Tool google reports an Error for the “image”:

    “A value for the image field is required.”

    and a warning for the “priceRange”:

    “The priceRange field is recommended. Please provide a value if available.”

    I’m not sure how much those errors affect the page, but I’m concerned about using the plugin if there will be any penalty from google. Do you intend to add those fields, and if so when could we expect that update?

  • FYI, these warnings are not required and “recommended” should be taken very lightly.

    This is an issue that MANY people across SEO have brought to light with regard to the Structured Data Tool and no one is concerned.

    Thought I’d let you know.

    Marking as resolved. There are many sites using structured data for local business without an image and they show up fine. We’ll look into adding this ability in the future, but as @jacewcamp mentioned, not a huge priority.
