Google Search Console Pitfalls & Critical Warnings
Avoid these 3 common validation traps, parser errors, and algorithmic policy penalties when deploying Cemetery schema.
Confusing Administrative Office Hours with Cemetery Gate Hours
Cemetery grounds gates often stay open until sunset while the administrative office closes at 4:30 PM; conflating them creates visitor confusion.
List gate visiting hours in openingHoursSpecification and clarify office hours in description.
Using Generic Place Instead of Cemetery
Using generic Place types prevents Google from indexing burial locator and genealogy features.
Always declare '@type: Cemetery'.
Missing Floral & Memorial Decoration Guidelines
Cemeteries have strict seasonal cleanups for flowers and flags; failing to state guidelines creates visitor friction.
Summarize floral placement policies in description.
