Chioma Anunobi ran a crawl that surfaced thousands of event entities, with thousands of warnings alongside them. Looks like a site-wide implementation problem, right? Wrong. The raw JSON-LD showed the organizer property was already outputting correctly as an Organization. What was left were recommendations, like adding more event images, plus properties The Events Calendar Free plugin doesn't expose through its interface at all. So in our latest article, Chioma argues for classifying every finding before prioritizing any of it: 💡 configuration issue? 💡 content and architecture issue? 💡 plugin limitation? 💡 development work? Configuration problems are usually quick wins. Plugin limitations might not be worth solving unless custom schema development is on the table. Development work waits until the first two are done. Do one thing before all of that: Confirm your structured data exists in the raw HTML returned to the crawler, not only after JavaScript executes. Plenty of About, team and event templates lean hard on client-side rendering, and a crawler may never see the markup you see in the browser. https://lnkd.in/ehN7nqGJ #seotips
