Should I remove fake MPNs from product structured data?

Hey folks,

Quick question about product schema and structured data quality.
Our e-commerce site sells electronic parts (we are not the manufacturer, but the reseller), and the theme automatically adds an mpn field for every product.

If a real MPN isn’t set, it just uses our internal SKU as a fallback.

Example:

"sku": "333003", "mpn": "333003", "brand": "Brandname" 

The thing is:

  • Many items actually have manufacturer MPNs, we just haven’t filled them in yet (this will take some time...).
  • Some products don’t have one at all.
  • So lots of products end up with a wrong MPN (our internal reference).

Everything validates fine in Google Merchant Center and Search Console, but I’m not sure what’s smarter short-term. Leave it as is (since it passes validation), or remove the fake MPNs to improve structured data accuracy and future matching?

Any experience / advise?

Thank you!!

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Copying articles from Google Docs To Wordpress - Bottleneck

My writer sends me content in Google docs and images separately. Uploading them to Wordpress is a pain because I have to download everything individually and upload them one by one. A simple copy paste works for the most part but the main issue is - I want to give my images SEO friendly file names and copying them from docs names then 'image 1' , 'image 2', and so on in Wordpress. Does anyone have a solution for this? I would be forever grateful as it would save me a lot of time in uploading content. submitted by /u/Eastern-Individual64 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/KiTmF28
