Some Rich Snippets (like the Article snippet) provide an image-attribute. In the early days it was easy: you could just provide an image URL here. However this no longer works as search engines want to see more data. That is the width, the height and the URL of an image. This is how you properly […]
Bill asked me today how it’s possible to use a certain post thumbnail size in SNIP. Unfortunately that is not possible at the moment directly within SNIP. However there is a workaround that extends its functionality. And here is how it works:
Of course you can exclude Structured Data on certain posts (pages and custom post types), too. It’s super easy (see down below). However I would not recommend to use this functionality very often as it messes up your ruleset-metabox and therefore it quickly gets very complicated.
This course was designed to help you better understand what structured data is, how it works, and what you can do with it. The course is completely free of charge and you can view it immediately (see below) without registration. I hope you enjoy it!
As you may know it’s possible to have multiple snippets on one page. However this may cause side effects. Especially if you’re using multiple snippets that can create a Rich Snippet on search results. Let’s say you have a blogpost that generates the following snippets: WebPage Review Event The Review- and the Event-Snippet can create […]
In version 2.29.0 of SNIP it’s possible to target author pages, too. In this case you may want to include some userdata. Here is how that works.
From time to time, customers ask me how to correctly create Structured Data for the Event Manager Plugin that is freely available on WordPress.org. In this post I’m going over all the properties that you’ll need.
Since version 2.26. SNIP can add content from a block that was made with the new block editor (called Gutenberg). Here is how that works:
Version 2.26. has finally arrived and it can now read data from blocks, too! That’s awesome because many of us do no longer need to add data manually! Wohoo! 😉
It almost bothers me a bit that the wheels are turning a bit slower for me at the moment. I have to keep my one-year-old son busy half the day, so I can only work actively for the other half of the day. On the other hand, I also have a lot of fun spending […]
Through my super agency sale, my plugin skyrocketed to #1 in the weekly charts at CodeCanyon/Envato. The traffic increased sevenfold in that time. However, I didn’t have more sales as a result. What happened?
Sticking to the motto “Document, don’t create“, as I learned from Russell Brunson’s book Traffic Secrets, today I want to report what happened last week.
Actually, it’s all awesome: I’ve been back at work since this week (I had taken two weeks “off” because of Easter and the office construction site I have at home) and just when it was starting to get fun with programming and blogging this happens!
I’m falling into a trance right now! No… I’m not intoxicated or pumped with drugs. Haha! What I mean is the so-called flow state. That really exists. And I always get that when I dive deep into the code. You feel like you’re in the matrix.
SNIP’s support for Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) continues to grow. In this blog post I collect some data that is important for the usage.
Today I had Mastermind, I was able to ask the group how I could use my plugin to make more money specifically, increase my sales or whatever. This is what the outcome was.
I have often wondered whether a subscription model could be an option for me. I was always skeptical because I’m not really a fan of subscription models myself. But as a developer, I also see that especially for products that don’t sell that often, there can be an advantage. An analysis.
In my last blog post I wrote about how spring fever could possibly lead to more sales. Sounds like a joke but in fact I have no other answer. In this blogpost I would like to go a little deeper into the numbers.
In this article I would like to talk a bit about numbers. Because I haven’t done that yet. My plan is to double the traffic to the sales page within the next 6 months. Two months are almost over.
Actually, this post should appear tomorrow (my rhythm is currently Monday and Thursday) but since my son turns one year old on Friday (🥳) I’m trying to free up the day. But that’s just a side note. This blog post is about very possessive customers and the current status of my setup assistant.
Today I want to show you how the current setup wizard looks like. There’s a little video showing it in action.
Hóla! <- That’s Spanish. Would you have known? Languages is one of the things that has been on my mind since last week. And the new setup wizard. I already launched part of it (the Global Snippets Setup Wizard) but SNIP is supposed to be even easier. Here’s what’s going on with this.
This is the third part in my series “Plugin Journey“. This blogpost is about coding. More specifically, about coding a feature to make my plugin easier to use. To make it easier to use even for the not so savvy user.
From time to time I get asked if it’s possible to add schema to WordPress without plugin. And the answer is yes. Even though it’s super inconvenient if you want to add Structured Data to many posts at once. But read on to learn more about schema, Structured Data and the benefits in SEO.
Servus! (That is Bavarian for “hello”.) It’s me again, Florian, the developer of SNIP Structured Data for WordPress plugin. This is the next update about my plugin journey. Wohoo! It’s my second post. I’m doing this be because I’ve read the book “Traffic Secrets” from Russel Bruson and he wrote that it’s a good idea […]
Hey guys, I hope you’re doing well on this fourth of January 2021. I’m writing this blog post because I’m currently reading the Book Traffic Secrets from Russel Brunson. In his book, he writes that you should share your journey of you and your product. And why not take that as a good New Year’s […]
Hey there. I hope you’re all doing very well during these strange times. Believe it or not, corona is still a thing but BlackFriday stays 😉
Since Google has switched its Rich Snippets Test Tool to a more modern Rich Results Test Tool, people do see a lot more “Page not eligible for rich results known by this test” errors. This pages tries to explain what the error is and how to fix it.
Article Schema Adding the appropriate metadata to your posts allows search engines to understand your content better. SNIP fully supports the article type schema, and it can be added to all of your posts automatically. By adding the Article Schema to your post, you increase the likelihood of it appearing as a rich card in […]
In SNIP there is a very easy way to work with product variations from WooCommerce. Here is how it’s done in a few simple steps:
From time to time customers ask me if SNIP has a negative impact on page load time. Here is the answer to that:
Well…. at this point in time, the speakable schema is still in BETA. At least this is what Googles Structured Data reference says about the Speakable. However some users want to integrate it already in their sites. So why not creating a little tutorial about it?
Since Google said that they now support the FAQPage schema, customers keep ask me on how to do it properly.
All subscriptions are handled by our payment provider Fastspring. So all subscriptions need to be handled on their site. In this post I’ll show you how you can access the subscriptions page.
Sometimes you want to display multiple Schemas on one page and therefore need the same schema over and over again. Let’s take a look how you can build complex Structured Data using SNIP.
Here is an example of a Global Snippet that allows you to show lists of products on product taxonomies (product categories and product tag) pages:
I’ve just sent out an email to all subscribers to inform everyone about the things that are currently going on in my day-to-day job of making SNIP better and better. Of course I also want to keep everyone else up to date with the latest news. That’s why this blog post exists.
Last week I attended WordCamp Europe in Berlin. WordCamps are conferences that focus on everything WordPress-related. It’s not only for developers, by the way. You should go to one that is close to your home town as well!
Another question that I get asked frequently is how one can fix Structured Data Errors in WordPress. And in this blog post I want to give some tips how it’s actually done.
It seems that Structured Data and all that kind of things that come along with it get more and more traction these days. So it’s time for me to write something that shows you how you can add structured data markup to your WordPress site. Let’s begin!
Lots of customers didn’t recognize that they have Structured Data on their site. But when they install SNIP, the Structured Data WordPress Plugin, they check their sites using Googles Structured Data Test Tool and they suddenly recognize that there are other schemas, maybe duplicate ones, that they now want to remove. Here is how you […]
Google started its job search some time ago in Germany (and some other countries). This functionality was already available in some English-speaking countries, but it has since been introduced in many other countries, too. It seems like it’s time for me to write something about what others call “SEO for Job Postings”. This only describes […]
You maybe heard the term Structured Data already, right? It’s part of technical SEO (as you will learn below) and therefore important for every website that thrives for higher rankings and/or for better search results that perform. So now you’re curious which one is the best Structured Data plugin for WordPress, right? It’s SNIP, the […]
Yeah, another month of Structured Data! That’s great! And here are the changes that have made it into SNIP, my Structured Data Plugin for WordPress:
Since version 2.13.0, SNIP can import and export Global Snippets. Here I want to show you how this works.
It’s time for another great blog post. In this one I want to give you an extensive insight into SNIP, my WordPress Plugin for Structured Data. It should give you a great overview in which situations it can help you. Have fun! 😉
The time has come: nobody can avoid structured data anymore. It’s part of technical SEO. I wrote a lot about it in the past but in this blog post I want to focus on Schema for WooCommerce. Hopefully you can learn a lot about it and you are able to create your own snippets after […]
Another cool update has just been pushed out. Here is what has changed during the last two versions for SNIP, the Structured Data Plugin for WordPress:
The WP Job Manager Plugin creates Structured Data out of the box. However, as almost always, these are not complete. Googles Structured Data Test Tool complains about missing recommended fields: addressLocality addressRegion streetAddress postalCode baseSalary And maybe more. This post describes how you can build your own using SNIP, the Structured Data Plugin for WordPress.
