  • George G.: you can try this https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/5820005?hl=enyou can use multiple schema markups on the same page. e.g organization, breadcrumb, itemlist, webpage etc.

  • Richard Hearne: You should try to always identify your top-level entity, however.
  • Richard Hearne: itemList if it`s an archive. I wouldn`t ever use article on an archive template. If not itemList then webPage is more suitable than article IMO.
  • Žilvinas Liutkevičius: Richard Hearne thanks for response. Actually there`s a product archive, so that`s why I was wondering about better schema template. At the moment there`s in use product template, which makes more headache
