To deal with Google advertising for my WordPress plugin after all made me think over the weekend. As a reminder, I had planned to do this already, but I didn’t do it because my mastermind buddy stopped me. My target group was not well enough defined (which I had made up for in the above […]
Just today I’m at a point again where I’m thinking to myself, “Why are you doing this?”. The reason is the next negative review of my free plugin on WordPress.org. But read on…
Today I want to show you how the current setup wizard looks like. There’s a little video showing it in action.
It’s time to write a bit about backlinks. You would think that backlink building is totally oldschool. I can already hear my readers screaming “this is so 2003!”. Honestly, I have no clue if what I’m writing here will work. But it sounds good to me. And I’m going to give it a try.
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 post is the second one this week. And already the sixth in the series “Plugin Journey”. In this post I would like to write something about Google advertising. Or rather, how not to do it. Because I decided not to buy paid advertising from Google for now.
Wohoo! Another week has begun and this is my sixth blog post about my plugin journey to share with you. As a reminder, I started this because I have a personal goal (to get more traffic for my WordPress plugin in six months) and because I read the book Traffic Secrets by Russel Brunson who […]
From time to time I suffer from low sales in a month. I don’t know really why this happens. Sometimes it’s seasonal, sometimes … well I don’t know. Even if you keep an eye on the numbers, you often can’t tell why that is. Because they usually always remain the same. But what if there […]
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 […]

In some cases the plugin may report an “Error on RDNS”. In this post I’ll cover what that means.

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:
Google officially informed about the fact that everyone who has an online business should pause it appropriately if they’re affected by the corona virus. It also involves using Structured Data. And here is how:
From time to time, people ask me what schemas I would recommend. The answer is: you need to decide that yourself. Since Structured Data is part of technical SEO, it depends on your plans on your overall holistic SEO strategy. Here are a few tips.
Some of you already got an email from me saying that SNIP is currently on SALE. Here is why:
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?
People keep asking me if SNIP is compatible with plugin X, Y and Z. Here is the answer:
From time to time people ask me if SNIP is compatible with their theme. This is what I tell them:

A few customers have reported today that Google search console as well as Googles Structured Data Test Tool brings up the following error: One of offers or review or aggregateRating should be provided. In this post I want to investigate a little further what’s happened.
In mid-September, Google announced changes to the way Rich Snippets are displayed. By tagging websites with structured data, website operators can create more than just the usual snippets of title, text and URL. Now, it seems, the changes are through.
Finally I found the time to write the “what’s new” blog post like I did it with the other updates before that.
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.
I’ve got a new pre-sales question from Tobe. He asked what the maximum Rich Snippets are that can be displayed at the same time. In this post you can find the answer.
From time to time people are asking for a discount. To make it short: I’m afraid I can’t offer you any discounts due to technical reasons. Read on to learn more about this.
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.
In this post you’ll find a list of filter hooks that SNIP provides. Filter allow you to override certain code.
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.
If you no longer want to use SNIP and/or want to delete all data that has been created, follow the instructions below:
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!
