Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted April 27, 20213 yr I noticed that Google displays "Top Answer Cards" on the mobile version. Is it possible to add something like this? Votes can be counted from the awarded reputation points. How to create Question and Answer Schema Markup for Best Answer Answer Cards Demo:
April 27, 20213 yr We already provide best answer (or acceptedAnswer) information in the JSON-LD output. It's up to Google whether they actually use it for your site though. For example, this answered topic: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/461682-forums-card-title/
April 27, 20213 yr Author Thanks for reply. But could you give me an example of Invision Community forum where Google showed the "Top Answer" Card? At least once? because I haven't found a single one. Maybe it is not fully implemented correctly? Edited April 27, 20213 yr by SeNioR-

As I note though, with a lot of the structured data, it's completely upto the search engine what they choose to display. We support it, and the data is there so it will be used if they deem it to be suitable.

I don't know what about Google, but Yandex is able to display useful answers from IPS to the main widget.
April 27, 20213 yr Author @IP-Gamers Thanks for reply, but this is not "Top Answer" Card and that's not what this topic is about 👍 Edited April 28, 20213 yr by SeNioR-
April 28, 20213 yr Author I will take a closer look at it when I have more time. Weird that Google doesn't display this card for every IC forum.
May 13, 20213 yr Author @Stuart SilvesterI took a closer look at it and it looks like Google support only QAPage tag to display answer cards. Google Documentation I suggest adding a DiscussionForumPosting tag for a forum with "Questions" mode enabled and a QAPage tag for regular topics. This solution is used by Flarum.

February 22, 2024Feb 22 @Jim M I have a few pages with this error still saying missing answerCount https://community.nursa.com/forums/topic/163-app-issues-regarding-location/ https://community.nursa.com/forums/topic/220-getting-scheduled/ https://community.nursa.com/forums/topic/295-something-needs-to-be-done-about-facilities-posting-shifts-when-they-don’t-need-someone-to-work/ https://community.nursa.com/forums/topic/191-let’s-discuss-the-rights-access-and-free-reign-and-all-accessno-restrictions-to-the-app-all-facility’s-have-compared-to-the-severe-punishments-restrictions-to-app-that-clinicians-have/ Any thoughts here?
February 22, 2024Feb 22 Checked a few of those and an answerCount is provided there. Do they provide more information or the last time they went to those pages? If they can re-crawl the page, that may be all that is needed here.
February 22, 2024Feb 22 It is worth noting the last one is throwing a 404 error. All of them have an answerCount. Is there a full error that Google is providing?
February 22, 2024Feb 22 Yes, I just deleted that one since we got issues with deleted users comments on posts. Okay looks like it is working now, thank you!
