Microformats exist for reviews, events, products and much else; none of those are processed here. Anything outside the pair belongs in Schema.org.<\/p>\n<h2>Will markup improve rankings?<\/h2>\n<p>No. Markup affects how a result can be presented, not where it appears. This applies equally to microformats and Schema.org.<\/p>\n<h2>Microformats or Schema.org?<\/h2>\n<p>The algorithms prefer neither. Yandex recommends Schema.org as the more modern, fuller and actively developed standard, but a working hCard implementation is not a defect to be corrected.<\/p>\n<h2>Both on one page?<\/h2>\n<p>Permitted. In practice, duplicating the same facts in two formats doubles the maintenance and the chance of them disagreeing, which is worse than either alone.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I check it works?<\/h2>\n<p>The structured data validator in the console reads both formats. Validation confirms parsing, not display: the data must also be indexed and, for partner-programme features, moderated before anything appears. Allow roughly two weeks after that.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is nothing showing despite valid markup?<\/h2>\n<p>The same three conditions as Schema.org \u2014 correctly marked, indexed, moderated \u2014 plus one specific to microformats: check that the <code>class<\/code> attributes carrying the meaning are still present. Because microformats ride on class names, a CSS refactor or a template migration can remove the markup while leaving the page visually identical.<\/p>\n<h2>The maintenance rule<\/h2>\n<p>Validate the contact page after every template change on a site using hCard. It costs a minute and it catches the one failure mode this format has that Schema.org does not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recurring questions about microformats have short answers, and the shortest ones are the most useful.
