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 […]
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.
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 😉
From time to time customers ask me if SNIP has a negative impact on page load time. Here is the answer to that:
Some of you already got an email from me saying that SNIP is currently on SALE. Here is why:
A customer asked if it’s possible to add content from a shortcode inside of a schema property. The short answer is: SNIP does not support this at the moment, but I can see that there are use cases where this can be beneficial.
People keep asking me if SNIP is compatible with plugin X, Y and Z. Here is the answer:
Ivan sent a message over Twitter and asked how to get breadcrumbs to work with tags. As you may know from the How to use Loops to iterate over items tutorial, it’s pretty simple with categories because they’re hierarchical. That’s not the case with tags. So it lead me to this blog post which shows […]
Since Google said that they now support the FAQPage schema, customers keep ask me on how to do it properly.
Support Hero I’m looking for someone who can help me doing support for my plugin: SNIP – Structured Data Plugin for WordPress. Prerequisites are: A very good written English. Deep understanding of structured data. Passion to help people. Possibility to respond within 12 hours at the latest. My standards are high. The plugin currently has […]
Finally I found the time to write the “what’s new” blog post like I did it with the other updates before that.
Benoit, a developer and very welcoming customer of mine, asked how he can integrate comments into this schemas. Here is an example field type that I’ve coded for him. Feel free to customize it the way you like it.
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.
In this blog post I want to demonstrate how you can create your own field types in SNIP so that you can calculate and integrate custom code into any field.
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:
If you purchased SNIP on CodeCanyon, you subscribed to a 6-month (or optionally a 12-month) support plan, which automatically expires after this time. After that, you will need to renew your support in order to receive personalized support. Here’s how you can do that:
Because this is asked frequently here is a little how-to on how you can add Structured Data for Breadcrumbs on WooCommerce product pages.
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!
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 […]
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:
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.
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:
Yoast SEO has started to integrate Structured Data in version 11.0. However it’s still not possible to create your own schemas without the knowledge of the programming language PHP. If you want to totally remove Structured Data generated by the plugin, follow the instructions below. In the end I also clarify how it’s possible to […]
Yes it does. However you need to work with overridable schema properties within SNIP because the WP Job Manager Plugin does not provide all fields that are necessary to add all recommended properties.
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.
A customer asked how he can use stamped.io review ratings for an AggregateRating for his WooCommerce products. Here is how it works: As far as I know you need to use stamped.io’s WordPress Plugin. It fetches all the ratings from their API and buffers it into the WordPress post meta database table. SNIP can access […]
One of the top questions that I get asked is: “how can I use my custom fields within a Global Snippet?”. So it’s worth writing about it.
Have you ever seen the date of a post in search results? Yes, that’s also done with Structured Data. Here is how it works.
Hurray! Today marks the day of the 10th major update of SNIP, the number one Structured Data Plugin for WordPress! Read on to find out what’s new in this version!
Last week I’ve found a nice blog post from iThemes where Kevin D. Hendricks used the term “Position Zero” for search results. And Rich Snippets play a big role in this.
In version 2.8.0 of SNIP a long awaited feature came into the plugin. The feature is called “loop” and allows you to define a property to use a loop that it runs through. Here is how this works:
Mohamed asked if it’s possible to use Rating Form plugin together with SNIP.
Google shows Social Profile links on the Knowledge Panel. How can I add those links to my panel, too?
Since version 2.7.0 it’s possible to add reviews to the WooCommerce product snippets. As per default the plugin only integrates 5 reviews into the snippet. Here is how you can extend this number.
If a user reports a conflict with another plugin and/or theme, it’s collected here.

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!
A breadcrumb trail on a page indicates the page’s position in the site hierarchy. A user can navigate all the way up in the site hierarchy, one level at a time, by starting from the last breadcrumb in the breadcrumb list. Google uses the BreadcrumbList Schema-Type to show it in search results. You can read […]
