  • Don Vermeer: You can

  • Brenda Malone: NOPE. I mean you physically can, but Google ignores the multiples. Product is the most important to use.

  • Stockbridge Truslow: Yes. You absolutely can - and google does not ignore them. https://developers.google.com/.../docs/guides/sd-policies...

  • Brenda Malone: PRODUCT Schema cannot be combined, which is what the OP asked.

  • Kristian Breslin: Brenda Malone he didn’t ask if you combine it that imply he was trying to manipulate all 3 into 1, he asked if you could multiple schemas on a product page and you can. Not sure if you read article I linked up but specifically advising to do use faq and product schema on the same page, increasing the potential to get a rich snippet, that was the whole point of it.

  • Stockbridge Truslow: Sorry. You`re wrong. True... you can`t have multiple products on a page but you can have one page with Product, FAQPage, and Organization schema together as the question asks.

  • Richard Hearne: Yep, Google does support multiple types on a page.

  • Kristian Breslin: I have put multiple different mark ups on some pages and managed to get better results with them, many people just use standard page templates but I think by running through multiple mark ups on a page you provide search engines with added information in turn you can only think this would help with rankings

  • Brenda Malone: You cannot mix them on product pages, Google will ignore them. Do you have any examples on product pages?

  • Kristian Breslin: https://www.titangrowth.com/.../5-ways-faq-schema-markup.../ have a look at this link and see how it recommends that your faq is much more effective when used in mark up with a product page instead of a stand alone, now obviously if the recondition is to add the second schema to the page then first you can do it and secondly if done right it can more effective. I’m not saying your wrong but I am saying believe for that it had worked and there material supporting that

  • Brenda Malone: Kristian Breslin You cannot currently have both FAQ and Product Schema on the same page and have it accepted.

    That article never mentions combining both on the same page. Show me a live example if you think it is possible.

  • Kristian Breslin: Brenda Malone I just read through the post of the Martha van Berkall on there is one of the head honchos at schema app I believe and she said on that post you made they observe different behaviours of product pages that have faq incorporated within its schema thanks standard product page schema, I’m not being a Pratt I tend not to post links on groups but you can the theory easy enough bang a faq schema together add it to a product you can verify this easily enough

  • Brenda Malone: I just asked the schema experts about this yesterday on Twitter. Consensus, No, on product pages you cannot mix schema types, they will be ignored. Other non-product pages, test for yourself and see if they are honored.

  • Richard Hearne: I think what you mean here is that Google will only show 1 rich feature. This makes sense- you cannot have review rating stars together with faq accordion. But the op asked about multiple schemas (types) and this is supported. But your point here is very useful.

  • Brenda Malone: Richard Hearne Have you been able to put multiple @schema types on a product page that has product schema?

    Here is a sample product page. Can you develop the JSON-LD to add FAQ schema to this page and have it show?

  • Richard Hearne: No - this is what I mention above. You cant get both review rating stars and FAQs to appear in SERP AFAIK. The only time I`ve seen 2 rich features for same result has been search box and Review Ratings AFAICR.

    FWIW on the page you linked I`d look to build a graph. Then you could add in a lot more types, and make the Product the top-level entity.

    So you`d have a product page with a Review, on a WebPage with Breadcrumb, which resides in a WebSite which is owned by an Organization. The Organization would also be the seller.

  • Brenda Malone: Richard Hearne Perfect, I will have my colleague try that.

  • Richard Hearne: I`d take a look at how Yoast builds graphs. Their schema is excellent. The guy behind it is exceptionally talented in all things schema.

  • Brenda Malone: Richard Hearne We actually use SchemaApp and Martha Van Berkel is a great help. But, getting product schema and FAQ schema on that product page is eluding us all.

  • Kristian Breslin: I have got used upto 4-5 previous, including speakable schema for mobile, I’m personally sticking with my guns as someone that’s done it but would love to hear the view point of people in the group above my pay grade as it’s an incredibly interesting question

  • Brenda Malone: On PRODUCT pages?And, see my tweeted answer above from Martha Van Berkel who is the top Schema expert in this space.

  • Kristian Breslin: I’m wondering if there’s a mid communication in the language tbh because above that she say clearly the observe different behaviour, I’m going to stand back and see what the rest say

  • Brenda Malone: Kristian Breslin I do not understand what you are saying.The Original Post asks if you can combine schema on a Product Page that has Product Schema. Answer: No, you cannot.

    Can schema be combined on other non-product pages, YES. I, too, stand by what I am saying.

  • Josh Levenson: As long as they don`t conflict, yes.

  • Richard Hearne: If you want to include multiple types I`d advise you look into graphs so that you can always have a single top-level entity associated with the page.
