We noticed that when using the "Forums" filter, similar to the News and Images, our site is a total no show, even when using the site name as a search. Ironically, when using the standard web search , we show at #1 for our site name.

On researching further, I found this suggestion:

• Implement Q&A Schema or Discussion Forum Schema to help Google identify your site as a forum.

Is there a way we can add this type of Schema setting?

Thanks

We’re already using this. Are you using the recent version? 

We are using Invision Community v4.7.19. What should I look for in the page source to ensure that the tags are there, as I don't see anything that is particular to a "forum" ?

I do see a lot of "og:" tags, but as far as I am aware that is Open Graph for Social Media display.

Thanks

Hans

 

Example from one of your own topics

You could use a tool like https://validator.schema.org/ or https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?hl=de to test your page to see what schema is returned.
