Google structured data

[RobGielen]

Hello All,

 

Per Google Guidelines, it is advised to add a small script to your FAQ page.

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data

See example:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "FAQPage",
  "mainEntity": {
    "@type": "Question",
    "name": "What is FAQ PAGE",
    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "Answer to the FAQ PAGE"
    }
  }
}
</script>

Maybe best option to go for module like: https://www.whmcsthemes.com/whmcs-addons/seo-manager/ ?

How would I be able to add this script in the background of a knownledgebase article?

In my opinion there is no point in implementing this script to WHMCS. Similarly I see no benefit in adding meta tags. Improvements would be laughable or non-existent. You need more than just a snippet and bunch of meta tags to improve your ranking on search engines.

Before you can make use of meta tags and snippets, first you'll things like:

• Sitemap generator
• Canonical URLs to avoid duplicated-contents
• Unique titles, meta descriptions
• A lot of "noindex, follow" meta robots
• OG Tag support (url, type, title, description, image)
• SEO-Friendly URLs
• Protection from  black hat SEO
• Pagination and any tag-based category require further attention

All things I listed above must support multi-language otherwise it's like shoot yourself in the foot (WHMCS doesn't support it). It would be great if we could just copy/paste a snippet and write a couple of descriptions to see notable improvements but in reality it's more complicated.

You can add something like this to your template header:
 

<script type="application/ld+json"> 
{
  "@context": "http://schema.org",
  "@graph": [
   { 
        "@type": "Organization",
        "name": "Your Organization Name",
        "logo": "https://example.com/logo.svg",
        "url": "https://example.com"
   }
   {if $kbarticles},
   {
         "@type": "FAQPage",
         "mainEntity": [
         {foreach from=$kbarticles item=kbarticle name=kbarticles}
          {
                "@type": "Question",
                "name": "{$kbarticle.title}",
                "url": "https://whmcs.example.com/{routePath('knowledgebase-article-view', {$kbarticle.id}, {$kbarticle.urlfriendlytitle})}",
                "acceptedAnswer": {
                        "@type": "Answer",
                        "text": "{$kbarticle.article|strip_tags|regex_replace:"/[\r\t\n][\r\t\n]/":""|truncate:120}"
                }
          }{if !$smarty.foreach.kbarticles.last},{else}

         {/if}
         {/foreach}
        ]
    }
  ]
}{/if} 
</script>
