What is the difference between product and woocommerceproduct setup ? Can we have an answer from support here ? I initially set up all my schema with “products” as instructuted by RankMath documents but then I experienced so many my mistakes in Google Search Console. Do I need to reconfigure all my product schema with “woocommerceproduct” since I use WC ?
Plus 1 for me. I’m also confused regarding the difference. I got a “bark” from Google Search Console stating:
Missing field “brand”
and noticed the schema was set to Product. Yet all my other products were set to WoocommerceProduct. Could use some clarification pls.
I’m wondering the same thing, however, my result was the opposite.
All my items are set up as “Woocommerce Product”, but the “brand” field is missing in Google Search Console, and RankMath doesn’t give a spot to list my brand under the Woocommerce Product schema. I noticed that if I use the “Product” schema instead, there is a spot where I can list the brand myself without having to add code to my site. I’m afraid to change all of my items without some instruction from RankMath, though, because I don’t want to end up having to change all of them back.
Please give us some explanation on this!!
Thank you!
Hey Jana,
I had the same problem. I use woocommerce product and then under rank math settings you can tell rank math to take your brand from category or tags.
I did try changing one or two products to “product” but it caused a lot of errors in google console. I find the safest bet is to stick with woocommerce product for now
I only changed one item to “Product” so that I could experiment, but haven’t seen results from it yet.
I’d really like to have some response from RankMath on this!
Since its so user-friendly in other areas, I’d like to be able to insert my “brand” into the schema. I know that there is an option to do that by adding some code, but I’m not comfortable with coding and don’t want to mess up my site. Its so easy to add other things in RankMath. It seems like there should be a way to do this also in a way that would not cause trouble with Google the way that the “Product” schema does.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Rank Math takes the schema data from your product pages automatically and turns it into Schema-ready content. Likewise, the aggregateRating and review fields are taken from your actual product reviews that your buyers/customers leave on your products.
If you don’t have any reviews yet, that is going to show up as a warning in the schema testing tool. That’s because Google will actually look for those fields.
Please acquire some reviews and ratings to get rid of the aggregateRating and review warnings.
You can fix the SKU and availability issue easily as well:
To fix the brand warning, head over to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > WooCommerce and choose from any of the available fields to use as your product’s brands.
If you want to use a custom value for your Brands, you can do that by using the following code in your theme’s functions.php file:
// Add Brand for Products.
add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_product_entity', function( $entity ) {
$entity['brand'] = 'Rank Math;
return $entity;
});
Replace the “Rank Math” text with your actual brand name then run your website through the Structured Data Testing tool once again.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
@Michael Davis Your answer is unrelated to the actual question being asked here
What is the difference between Product Schema & WoocommerceProduct Schema?
Hello,
When you use the product schema, you will need to fill all the details by hand from SKU, brand, price and other details including global identifier.
If you are using WooCommerce Plugin, I’d recommend using the WooCommerce product schema in which details added in your products are automatically converted to schema ready content by Rank math for your product pages, which makes it easier and efficient for any WooCommerce user.
The stand alone product schema is also normally recommended for single posts where your posts are product related and not for WooCommerce product pages
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
