\"\"<\/a>Over the weekend I reworked Barbara Oliver & Co Jewelry’s<\/a>\u00a0publisher & authorship Rich Snippets. Previously I had only had the rel=author snippet on the home page but based on other examples<\/a> that were showing in Local I added the rel=publisher rich snippet to the home page only and left the rel=author snippet on the home page and every other page. I had previously added review rich snippets on both the review and home pages.<\/p>\n

As Linda Buquet had reported<\/a>\u00a0 all of the rich snippets AND her Google reviews are now showing in the blended local results<\/a> and the branded search result<\/a>. Note that the testimonial page with rich snippets shows as a review source as well. Also the author image is smaller than previous example<\/a>. I think that is due to having the rich snippet review included.<\/p>\n

The code I use was as followed:
\n
\n1)<\/strong> Home Page Publisher Linked to Google + Personal Profile:
\n<a href=https:\/\/plus.google.com\/102541560060087493644\/ rel=”publisher”>Barbara Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> Home Page Author Linked to “Our Story” (the about us page):
\n<a href=\/index.php?Our%20Story rel=”author”>About Barbara Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

3)<\/strong> “Our Story” Page Author Linked to Google + Personal Profile:
\n<a href=https:\/\/plus.google.com\/102541560060087493644 rel=”me”>Our Google Profile<\/a><\/p>\n

I believe that simply linking back to the Google+ Profile page as the author would have been adequate.<\/p>\n

Props to AJ Kohn for the excellent articles<\/a>, plus posts<\/a> and a cool tool<\/a> that helped in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
