Structured data problems was created by Davide

Hi, I have 2 problems with structured data. When I check them on Google Webmaster Tool I have 2 error:

ratingValue cannot be empty: in the code there is an image but should be a number, from 1 to 5. If 0 is better to omit aggregateRating at all
price is required: when a product is set as "call for price", price is omit in structured data but is required. It may make sense to indicate 0?

There is a way to manage this cases? It is important in your opinion?

Hello Davide,

Regarding 2 errors that you said:

1. ratingValue has an image and a reviewCount now. If the product has no review/rating yet, then image has 0 star and reviewCount = 0. What's problem with that?

2. Regarding price, I only show price if the system allows to show price there. In this case, I think that show price 0 is not good.

Sincerely, Giang

Hi Giang, for point 1 the problem is that structured data want a number, not an image. For point 2 the problem is that, in structured data, price is required for product rich snippet. If you don't belive try yourself: :laugh:

1) go to developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/
2) past the code or insert the URL of your demo product Canon Powershot SX40 ( joomdonationdemo.com/eshop/televisions/c...-powershot-sx40.html )
3) see alert on the right or see attachement

I hope I was more clear, thanks for your help

Hello Davide,

I saw that but what your suggested now?

1. If the product does not have any rating, then what I should add there?
2. If product is not allowed to show price, then what should I show for price? Is it zero?

Hi Giang,

There are 2 solutions imho but both needed that rating is a number (0-5):

1) omit all aggregateRating if rating is 0 (best option imho because review is 0 and rating is 0, there is no rating at all)
2) add <span itemprop="worstRating">0</span> because schema.org default value is 1 for worst rating value (see attachement 1)

Zero is not good, I found that Google "translate" zero with Free. The only solution that I found id omit offers at all. Unfortunately in this way is not possibile to indicate the number of product in stock
