He is a very honest and generous kind hearted person. I started following his youtube videos awhile back ago and gained a great deal of knowledge thanks to him and his great way of presenting things for all of us to be able to understand. I hired Tolga to redo my website onto a WP theme and he delivered beyond my expectations. Great communications via email and video, always informing me of changes and providing guidance for when i had to do everything on my own. I sincerely appreciated his going above and beyond in redoing my website. When there were issues with transferring from my provider he took away all the anxiety and took care of everything.

Wishing you the very best of success in everything Tolga When I first met Tolga a few years ago, my business hadn't been set up yet, however I knew there was a bigger purpose as to why our paths crossed. A few years later when I was finally ready to launch my business, I had no doubt Tolga with his dedication and intuitive guidance was exactly the person I wanted to build my website and business which I hold so dearly. He treated this task with so much love and dedication as if it were his own business. I couldn't recommend him enough for anyone that has a business with heart and soul. Tolga has a true gift, not only being an expert SEO specialist and web designer, He can also see past the technicalities and really bring out the essence of your business. Forever grateful to you Tolga. Ok, let me be quite literal when I say that there will most likely won't be anything that Tolga develops that I won't read, watch, or buy. To simply say "he knows what he's doing" is any understatement and damn near disrespectful. He goes WAY beyond simply knowing what he's doing. And he will be more than willing to help you. I paid for a 30 minute consultation and what did I get? An hour and a half of the man's time. The Rankya theme and plugins work like a charm And yes I bought the Theme AND The plugins separately (didn't do because I had to...I did it because he earned my business, and I don't mind paying for what I value).

After working very hard on my website it was very important for me to make sure that my websites Structured Data is marked up correctly, along with the WP robots.txt files to avoid any duplication problems further down the line.

Thank you I had no idea what is SEO, until, by luck i saw some videos on youtube by "RankYa" about improving our website ranking and SEO by "RankYa tutorials". It helped me a lot understanding it better, and now my business is growing. Thanks a lot also to RankYa website for plenty of teaching materials and affordable services. Today, is very rare to find such a honest, talented and hard working person, which can help your business progress with his expertise and services. Follow RankYa on YouTube Tolga provides a great service and you can feel very confident he knows what he is talking about, not like other SEO services that take your money and provide very little results.

Many many thanks . it's work like super hero. You saved me it is really informative & easy as beginners for me thanks Great value, I like your teaching method no fluff straight to your point. Hi Tolga, thanks for responding and sending the extra videos. I'm not sure if this is the proper way to write a testimonial but I'm happy to help and support your work because your lectures are well worth it. I watch a lot of videos and I can truly say that you are one of the best teachers that I've come across. Not only do you have a wealth of information but you actually apply what you teach. For example as I scrolled through your website I eventually became aware that I was being guided through your site to a particular action. Thanks RankYa Videos on YouTube I am delighted to say that I found Rankya SEO and Tolga Savas on-line when I was trying to learn about Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and website building techniques and I must say that finding him was one of the most fortunate events in my on-line and business life. Over the years, I have engaged a number of so called "SEO experts" only to be left deeply disappointed and no better off after spending a small fortune on what would often end up being some Black Hat or illegal method of trying to rank on Google. In fact, if you do the wrong thing with your SEO (such as spam backlinks etc), not only do you waste money, but you are also penalised by Google and this can result in the inability to ever being able to rank your website. If this happens, that it is the end of your website and business. I chose Tolga because he had taken the time to put up hundreds of FREE video tutorials about SEO, website building and Google compliant techniques. I could see from all that time and effort invested that Tolga Savas is not only an expert in his field, but he has a real passion for SEO, his business and his clients. Further, he is obviously more than confident in his expertise and is therefore happy to share genuine information with the world. And that is why his videos are viewed thousands of times! He is an expert in his field. It was this passion and obvious knowledge that lead me to contact Tolga and engage his services – and I cannot tell you how happy I am with all that he has done for me. He is exceptional. Apart from doing everything and more than I could have thought to ask for, Tolga then sends a private Youtube video – just for you – explaining what he has done and how you can maintain everything for yourself – He wants you to learn, to be involved and to save money wherever possible!!! I could easily go on about this man – but I think it is suffice to say that if you are interested in improving your on-line presence, RankYa is your only choice. I too have been involved in SEO, but not at your level of expertise. You are the MASTER as I see it I have done a lot of research and reading and boy, there's a great deal of misconception. i have come to the conclusion that your ideas and tactics are certainly the way to go Pro Tips are only the beginning of what you can learn here. More importantly for me is the pattern you use in your development. It is the greatest time-saving steps I have ever learned in website development. It is like rewiring your brain for efficiency. Wow is all I can say. If you are starting with SEO today, then this is the course. Mr. Savas covers it perfectly and shows you other resources. He suggest free tools to use. After learning from this course and a little hands on you will know ALOT of SEO. I will always refer back to this course. I have no hesitation in recommending Rankya to any business person wanting the process of SEO de-mystified. Good news. I just booked in a client for for this coming Tuesday. He told me my website came up consistently in Google. Your a genius! I knew I can count on you :) Thanks again mate. We were at a loss as to why we were being rejected from Google News. We Googled 'melbourne google specialist' and called the first listing that came up (seemed logical!) – RankYa. What we got was a thorough appraisal of issues that might be tripping Google's News spidering. We actioned this immediately and within a week received a random email from Google saying that we had been accepted into Google News. Needless to say, we were thrilled. I will use RankYa next time I need SEO advice and would recommend their advice to any other organisation. Your seo knowledge impressed me. Your helping attitude specially... heads up :) Our Blog Section Extremely knowledgeable with their work. I am very happy with website optimization, only a few days after it was optimized, my website already getting listed on google. Goes out of their way to do extra work to make to sure my website is the best it can be. Finding an SEO expert is a job within itself. (no fun) Finding RankYa was a blessing for us! We have used the teaching from your videos on our E-commerce site WheelchairGear to great success. We cleaned-up un-used files and wasted files tacking up space on our web-host control panel. Upon using just one of the techniques for SEO we saw an increases in International sales that we have never experienced before. We learned SEO techniques that will only make our site rank better, and better organic ranking means more sales. Thank you for all your personnel customer service and we look forward to working with you in the future. LS Owner of WheelchairGear I found the YouTube channel of Rankya after a search on google to discover more about schema.org mark up and how it could help SEO for my site. I contacted the owner of the channel - Tolga via the channel and he was kind enough to answer my questions by sending me a short explanation video video FOC! None of his content involved a hard sell in fact quite the reverse - he explained a number of ways I could move my website forward myself as I have a better than most knowledge of websites (as I have designed and maintained our clinics one for some time). However after visiting his website I decided it made more sense to use his specialist services and paid for the top of the range service, as it made sense to have an expert help all aspects of SEO for my site not just part of it. I was a little nervous parting with such a sum of money to someone I did not know who was 12,000 miles away but I need not have been worried. Tolga did exactly as he said he would and also a lot more. He provided me with a way forward to further optimise my site from my pages and blog posts images and content. He sent through a detailed step by step 1 hour 8 min video of what he did and what I have to take things forward so I always have something to refer back to. I have started to put into place his recommendations and suggestions and now have a structured way to move forward in 2016. I would highly recommend his services and will certainly use his help for future wordpress website and SEO needs. As someone who knows and practices SEO there is no one who i have come across in my 10 years of being involved in this industry who knows more than Tolga. He is an asset to the SEO community and those who utilize his professional services. Tolga lives and breathes SEO and his passion is infectious. So glad to have been given a chance to learn from the master. Great Work Tolga!!! After opening my first online store, i quickly found out that it is going to take more then just a website to begin receiving orders.

Managing your digital footprint has become essential for personal privacy and security in the age of AI. If private details, outdated profiles, or unwanted mentions appear when someone searches for you online, taking prompt action can help restore your privacy and give you peace of mind. Fortunately, you can clean up search engine results and regain control over your digital identity using these three different methods. ## Video Tutorial: How-to Remove Your Name from Google Search Results ## 1. Use the Results About You Dashboard The most direct tool provided by search engines for managing personal data is the dedicated privacy monitoring hub. Google features a built-in feature designed to help users track and delete sensitive information from public lookup pages. - Open the official Google remove results about you tool. - Input your names that someone might use to find you on Google, like a maiden name or nickname. - Enable alerts so the system notifies you whenever your specified identity markers pop up in live queries. - Review flagged entries inside your dashboard and submit direct removal requests with a single click. ## 2. Contact Site Owners and File Formal Takedown Requests Search engines index content directly from web hosting servers, meaning search engines mirror what already exists on live web pages. If a specific directory or blog hosts unwanted details, targeting the root source is necessary because if the website doesn't delete the information Google search may index the content again. Reach out directly to the webmaster or site administrator to request a complete deletion of the offending page. If the website doesn't have contact details, use WHOIS search to identify who to contact. If website owner or hosting company refuses or fails to respond, you can escalate the matter using official reporting channels. Utilize the Report Content On Google legal troubleshooter to submit formal takedown notices for severe privacy violations, copyright infringements, or defamatory statements. Always keep record of your interactions (emails, time date of contact, who you've contacted etc.). #### Sample Letter to Send to Website Owner or Domain Hosting Company Here is a sample letter for you to consider as an example for Letter of Request for Removal of Personal Information Note: Send this letter via email or the website's contact/privacy form to the site administrator, webmaster, or designated Privacy Officer. If the information is not available on the website, conduct a WHOIS search for the domain name. #### Options for The European Union (EU) Citizens Google offers different tools and options for EU Citizens. You can use the Right to be forgotten removal request form for legal removals of Google Search results linked to your name. If you would like to request removal of content from other products owned by Google like Blogger, Drive, Gmail or Groups, you can use Personal data removal request form. ## 3. Build Positive Digital Profiles to Bury Unwanted Links When complete deletion from the internet is impossible due to public record laws or uncooperative web hosts, or even Google declines your removal request, the next best strategy is suppression via positive search engine optimization (SEO). By flooding the web with authoritative, professional assets, you push negative or irrelevant entries deep down past page one where nobody looks. This is often called "Reputation Management". - Create verified professional profiles on major networking networks, industry directories, and prominent social platforms. Example: about.me or even Facebook - Launch a personal blog or professional portfolio website hosted on a custom domain featuring your full name. - Publish high-quality articles, media contributions, and anything else that showcase your genuine professional credentials. - IMPORTANT: images or even videos are critical in today's internet world. When naming your image files, or video files, you can include your name in the file name. For example: portrait-of-John-Smith.jpeg, john-smith-interview-in-London-England-2027.mp4 ## Ready to Take Control of Your Digital Footprint Today? Cleaning up your online presence requires persistence, but combining automated privacy tools with aggressive personal branding will clear your name from search lookup pages. Begin by auditing your name online right now, submit your first dashboard monitoring or content removal request, and start building positive web assets to secure your digital reputation. --- ### 301 Redirect Using .htaccess - **URL:** https://www.rankya.com/how-to/301-redirect-using-htaccess/ - **Type:** post If you manage your own website (or your client's) you will eventually require to explore redirection rules using .htaccess file. Do keep in mind, most web server setups allow you to quickly and easily setup 301 redirections through web server "Redirect" options. If you have cPanel, then, you should first explore using cPanel Redirect instead of using .htaccess file. Do keep in mind, always backup your current .htaccess file before modifying it, because redirection can cause issues with a live site. Complex redirections using regular expressions may require expert help (especially if using Search Console Site Address Change Tool). As far as Search Engine Optimization and Performance is concerned. Each time the request is made to get content from a web server by a web site visitor, htaccess file will be rendered by the browser, always. That means, to optimize and better serve .htaccess file (particularly for Google's Page Experience update), make sure you insert 301 redirection rules at precise points as they are needed. WordPress example: you would want to place 301 redirection rules below the required WordPress codes in .htaccess file. Knowing this, let's explore how to setup 301 Moved Permanently using Apache Server file called .htaccess. These type of redirections will work on most web hosting platforms (for example: GoDaddy, HostGator, DreamHost, CrazyDomains, Bluehost, SiteGround just to name a few). ## How to 301 Redirect .htaccess ## Examples for .htaccess 301 Redirection Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^oldURL/ https://www.example.com/newURL/ [R=301,NC,L] Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On #redirect folder to new folder (e.g. when you change category) RewriteRule ^example-old-folder/(.*)$ https://www.example.com/new-folder/$1 [R=301,NC,L] ### Redirect Old Domain to New Domain via .htaccess (both www AND non-www redirects to WWW.newdomain.com) RewriteEngine On #redirect ENTIRE old domain to NEW Domain RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC] ### # 301 REDIRECT HTTP TO HTTPS AND WWW TO NON-WWW via .htaccess Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC] RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NE,R=301] ### HTTPS Redirection over Server Port 80 Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L] ### Redirection to Change File Extension Using .htaccess Redirect .php to / forwardslash or .html to .php or vice versa. In this example, we changing php to html Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .php$ RewriteRule ^(.*).php$ /$1.html [R=301,NC,L] RewriteRule (.+)\.php?$ https://www.example.com/$1.html [R=301,NC,L] In this example, we changing html to php Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .html$ RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ /$1.php [R=301,NC,L] RewriteRule (.+)\.html?$ https://www.example.com/$1.php[R=301,NC,L] In this example, we're removing .php file extension so that forward slash is used. Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteRule (.+)\.php?$ https://www.example.com/$1/ [R=301,NC,L] In this example, we're removing .html file extension so that forward slash is used. Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteRule (.+)\.html?$ https://www.example.com/$1/ [R=301,NC,L] ### Force a Directory to Serve Over HTTPS To force a directory to serve over SSL, create a .htaccess file inside that subfolder and add the below code. Ideal for HTTPS Failing issues on subdomains Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} samplefolder RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/samplefolder/$1 [R,L] ### Redirect WordPress Site to New Domain Using .htaccess RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)olddomain\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301] ### Redirection of WordPress Images to New Domain When you want to move your images from wp-content/uploads to a new site, simply add this to your .htaccess file. RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.com$ RewriteRule ^wp\-content\/uploads\/?(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.yourdomain\.com\/$1" [R=301,L] What if you run in to issues with WordPress and .htaccess file RewriteRules do not work as expected? Then, change their location, for example: WordPress has default .htaccess rules for it to work correctly, depending on what you are redirecting, if you place the 301 rules above this default code, perhaps this may solve problems when 301 redirects aren't working. If worse comes comes to worse, simply revert back your backup of .htacess file. ## 301 Redirection on NGINX Server Creating 301 redirection on NGINX server is bit different in a sense that redirection rules are added in nginx.conf file. Below is 301 redirect example for nginx: server { rewrite ^/oldURL/$ /newURL/ permanent; } --- ### 301 Redirection - **URL:** https://www.rankya.com/how-to/301-redirection/ - **Type:** post HTTP 301 Moved Permanently redirect status response code means that the resource requested has been permanently moved to the URL given by the Location headers.

The real challenge is turning those visitors into paying customers. If you're seeing a lot of window shoppers but not enough buyers, it's time to focus on implementing some proven eCommerce conversion optimization techniques. Improving your conversion rate means you get more sales from the traffic you already have, making every marketing dollar you spend go further. It’s about making the shopping experience smoother, more trustworthy, and more compelling for your potential customers. ## Video Tutorial: Conversion Optimization Tips Let me share these often unused optimization techniques like so: - Ultimate Objective: Determine which is your ultimate objective - WebPage Elements: Remove WebPage elements (social icons, write a review etc.) that hinder user-interaction. - Guide Visitors: You can use various elements to guide visitors towards your objective (colors, images, call to actions, links, words). - Buy Now: For that to improve, also detail (briefly) what happens after a purchase (the trick is to put the visitor in to thinking mode for AFTER checkout process). ## 5 Key Strategies for eCommerce Conversion Rate Optimization Optimizing your online store isn't about guesswork. It's about using tested methods to remove friction from the buying process and build confidence with your audience. Below are five effective techniques you can start using today to see a real improvement in your sales and overall performance. ### 1. Streamline Your Checkout Process A complicated checkout is one of the biggest reasons for cart abandonment. Every extra step or unnecessary form field gives a customer a reason to leave. The goal is to make buying from you as fast and easy as possible. A key part of this particular eCommerce conversion optimization technique involves a few simple changes: - Offer a guest checkout option. Forcing users to create an account before they can buy is a major conversion killer. - Reduce the number of form fields to only the essentials. Do you really need their phone number? - Show a progress bar so customers know exactly where they are in the process and how many steps are left. - Be transparent about all costs, including shipping and taxes, early on. Surprises at the final step lead to abandoned carts. ### 2. Use High-Quality Product Images and Videos In eCommerce, your customers can't touch or feel the products. Your product visuals have to do all the heavy lifting. Grainy, small, or single-angle photos simply won't cut it. To build trust and help shoppers make a confident decision, you must provide excellent visuals. This is a critical aspect of any conversion optimization strategy. Focus on including multiple high-resolution images from different angles. A zoom feature is essential so users can inspect details. Even better, include a short product video showing the item in use. This helps customers visualize how the product will fit into their own lives, making them much more likely to click "Add to Cart." ### 3. Leverage Social Proof and Customer Reviews People trust other people more than they trust brands. Social proof, in the form of customer reviews and testimonials, is incredibly powerful. When a visitor sees that others have purchased a product and had a positive experience, it significantly reduces their buying anxiety. Integrating social proof is a fundamental eCommerce CRO tip. Prominently display star ratings on your product and category pages. Feature detailed customer reviews that talk about the product's quality and the customer's experience. You can also include user-generated content, such as photos of customers using your products, to build a stronger sense of community and authenticity. ### 4. Optimize the Mobile Shopping Experience More than half of all online traffic now comes from mobile devices. If your store is difficult to navigate on a smartphone, you are losing sales—it's that simple. An effective approach to improving eCommerce conversions requires a mobile-first mindset. Your site must be fully responsive, meaning it looks and works great on any screen size. Ensure your mobile site loads quickly, as slow speeds are a huge deterrent. Buttons and links should be large enough to be easily tapped with a thumb, and navigation menus should be simplified for smaller screens. Test the entire shopping journey on your own phone, from browsing to checkout, to find and fix any points of friction. ### 5. A/B Test Your Calls-to-Action (CTAs) Your "Add to Cart" or "Buy Now" button is one of the most important elements on your product page. But have you ever tested it to see if it could perform better? A/B testing, or split testing, involves creating two versions of an element to see which one performs better. This is a core data-driven eCommerce conversion optimization technique. You can test almost anything about your CTA button: - Color: Does a green button work better than an orange one? - Text: Does "Add to Bag" convert higher than "Add to Cart"? - Placement: Is the button more effective above the product description or below it? - Links: Is certain links clicked more than others? Track it. By continually testing and implementing the winning variations, you can make small, incremental improvements that add up to a significant increase in your conversion rate over time. It's a never ending process of refinement (just like Japanese Kaizen philosophy) that leads to sustainable growth. --- ### Adding New Users to WordPress - **URL:** https://www.rankya.com/wordpress/adding-new-users-to-wordpress/ - **Type:** post Whatever type of website you would like to create, WordPress can cater for it. Want a personal blog, or full blown eCommerce site? Or even a Membership site is easy to create with WordPress. Let's imagine you are creating a forum or a membership site where you want other people to create their profiles and even collaborate with others, you can add new users easily in WordPress. Although most plugins whether for forums, membership sites or eCommerce sites allow you to create and add new users to your website, it is very important that you understand Roles and Capabilities you are granting access for your online investment. You can assign subscribers, administrators, authors, editors and contributors in WordPress and give them different access privileges. ### Video Session Briefly Explains the Roles in WordPress ## Capability Given Per Roles Assigned - Super Admin = 1 (full access) - Administrator = 2 - Editor = 3 - Author = 4 - Contributor = 5 - Subscriber = 6 (only read access) Capability 1 2 3 4 5 6 create_sites Y delete_sites Y manage_network Y manage_sites Y manage_network_users Y manage_network_plugins Y manage_network_themes Y manage_network_options Y upload_plugins Y upload_themes Y Capability 1 2 3 4 5 6 activate_plugins Y Y create_users Y Y delete_plugins Y Y delete_themes Y Y delete_users Y Y edit_files Y Y edit_plugins Y Y edit_theme_options Y Y edit_themes Y Y edit_users Y Y export Y Y import Y Y Capability 1 2 3 4 5 6 install_plugins Y Y install_themes Y Y list_users Y Y manage_options Y Y promote_users Y Y remove_users Y Y switch_themes Y Y update_core Y Y update_plugins Y Y update_themes Y Y edit_dashboard Y Y customize Y Y delete_site Y Y Capability 1 2 3 4 5 6 moderate_comments Y Y Y manage_categories Y Y Y manage_links Y Y Y edit_others_posts Y Y Y edit_pages Y Y Y edit_others_pages Y Y Y edit_published_pages Y Y Y publish_pages Y Y Y delete_pages Y Y Y delete_others_pages Y Y Y delete_published_pages Y Y Y delete_others_posts Y Y Y delete_private_posts Y Y Y edit_private_posts Y Y Y read_private_posts Y Y Y delete_private_pages Y Y Y edit_private_pages Y Y Y read_private_pages Y Y Y unfiltered_html Y Y Y Capability 1 2 3 4 5 6 edit_published_posts Y Y Y Y upload_files Y Y Y Y publish_posts Y Y Y Y delete_published_posts Y Y Y Y edit_posts Y Y Y Y Y delete_posts Y Y Y Y Y Capability 1 2 3 4 5 6 read Y Y Y Y Y Y The usual setup is to grant subscriber access, by doing so, you are only granting Read only access, however, as you can see there are many other types of user roles which can be used according to your website setup. ### How to Disable New User Registration from WordPress Dashboard Login to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > General > (Look for option Membership) and un-check the option for 'Anyone can register' #### Disable WordPress User Registration Using .htaccess on Apache You can use this below code to completely disable new user registration requests to the registration page. Simply add this to .htaccess file and upload to your web server, when the registration spam bot requests the registration page (wp-login.php?action=register), then these .htaccess file rules will throw Page Not Found error ``` #Block Spam Registration Requests to this URI (wp-login.php?action=register) RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*(wp-login.php\?action=register).* [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L] ``` --- ### Advanced Structured Data Markup Concepts - **URL:** https://www.rankya.com/structured-data/advanced-structured-data-markup-concepts/ - **Type:** post Intended audience: HTML/HTML5 CSS coders, script developers (PHP, JSP, SQL), Web Developers and Google SEO specialists, and anyone else who needs to better understand what Structured Data is and how it can be used on a website. Samples mainly will be based on WordPress CMS but any type of CMS can benefit from this blog post. Did you know that you can do so much more with Structured Data Schema Markup now that major search engines like Google & Bing support wide range of data types. For example: moving forward to today's Google Mobile First Index World, you have featured snippets and Rich Results with many supported data types. Here's what Google says: Google uses structured data to understand the content on the page. You can help us by providing specific information about your site, which can help your site display in richer features in search results. If you're just getting started, visit Understand how structured data works. ### There are Many Different Types of Google Search Results If you are beginning to learn about Structured Data, then, it can be confusing to understand what is what, which is which. And even if you want to use these advanced Structured Data Markup examples by RankYa. Just imagine a LocalBusiness website, most Business owners simply use LocalBusiness Schema Markup plugins thinking that is all they need to do for adding Structured Data to their website. But you can do much more, for example using Schema Markup: ContactPage can also include LocalBusiness Schema Markup that also answers FAQs and has company logo as well as build business's Google Knowledge Graph including sameAs linking to Facebook YouTube and Google Maps location of the business. #### Featured Snippets Google's search results sometimes show listings where the snippet (chucks of information) describing a page comes before a link to a page, not after as with its standard format. Results displayed this way are called featured snippets. In terms of influencing Google results using search engine optimization techniques, create descriptive page titles as well as include meta description describing the web page content along with better web development particularly HTML5 sectioning. Do keep in mind that Google featured snippets are automated according to the search query. #### Rich Results Google of today has grown beyond being a typical web search engine, it can now display web results in a more immersive way for the searcher. For example: when someone searches for a Recipe, instead of showing good old blue links to websites, it can now display additional information, this is called Rich Results. Currently Breadcrumb, Dataset, Event, FAQ, Fact check, Guided recipe, How-to, Image License, Job posting, Logo, Product, Q&A page, Recipe, Review snippet, Sitelinks search box, Special Announcement, Video Structured Data types are supported (Rich Results can be found in Rich Results Search Gallery #### Enriched Search Results These are even more interactive and enhanced class of rich result, depending on search query, it can include an immersive popup experience or other more advanced interaction features. Currently Job Posting, Recipe, Event data types are supported in Enriched Search Results. ## Structured Data Markup Concepts by RankYa First thing to understand about using Structured Data is this fact: Google is a business and thus always tries to help its own customers first (Google Ads, Google My Business etc.) and its not the only search engine that supports Structured Data. Furthermore, learning to code Structured Data is importnat because the support will only grow in Google. ### Structured Data Coding Basics Simplified Think of Structured Data as just grouping HTML objects. For example: HTML5 article tag is just that, better than HTML div tag, and yet, HTML5 article tag is still meaningless in terms of meaning because article tag can be used for almost anything, just text, or BlogPosting, NewsArticle etc. Knowing this, think of Schema.org Markup, JSON-LD, Microdata, HTML5, The Product Types Ontology, RDFA are methods for grouping HTML objects (THING) to provide meaning. When we talk about a THING, they are just that objects within a digital realm so to speak. THINGS that search engines, computer programs, user-agents understand and interpret as simple machine-readable data. # THING IS A THING But since THING can be ANYTHING & EVERYTHING in digital space, Structured Data allows you to specify and group THINGS in to more meaningful TERMS. Using Structured Data you can give meaning to whatever is on your website. Now the meaningless old HTML code has just came alive with meaning. And those who can understand it (Google Yandex or other user-agents) can use it to display content accordingly. For example: let's imagine a person using their mobile phone searches Google with terms for a particular service, using its algorithms, Google can better display many THINGS including contact page, address, or even a phone number. Another example: people searching for 'Asus Laptop Buy Australia'. Google can display different Product results. Same person searching for "how Asus computers work?"

Are you serious?). Stay away from Themes or Plugins for adding structured data if you do not want the headache or waste your time. Because no two websites are ever the same, nor, can you markup a WordPress Theme and hope that all of the users will use it the same way. Its just not going to happen In fact, there can never be a WordPress plugin that can add structured data completely because each website is unique ## How to Add Schema Markup to Your Website You have to start diving deep in to your website theme coding and find out where certain parts of its HTML generated from.
