Q: HI, I currently use Yoast on a few websites so it would be good to give up the recurring payments, ...
especially considering the additional features/benefits you provide that they don't so I'm looking to fully stack but I just have one question regarding the woocommerce side. Yoast adds in certain schema which is essential for google merchant such as brand/manufacturer so can this plugin do the same?
FROM YOAST:
The WooCommerce SEO plugin can add Product Brand, Product Manufacturer, and Product Color Schema data to your product pages. To allow it to do that, you need to add the attributes to WooCommerce, then configure them on the product page. (My websites all have the brand & manufacturer set up as attributes in woocommerce)
I need this functionality as I also use Product Feed Pro that links to the created 'Brand' attribute mentioned above and adds it to the google feed but if the 'brand' and 'manufactirer' are not included in the product schema it will fail in google merchant.
Sorry, 1 more question actually, can a product page in woocommerce be used as a Focus Page?
Thanks

Jun 27, 2024A: Hi,
Thank you. These are great questions!
Yes, Squirrly SEO adds the schema for WooCommerce.
Product Brands:
https://howto.squirrly.co/faq/how-to-add-woocommerce-product-brands-in-json-ld/
and even: https://howto.squirrly.co/kb/json-ld-structured-data/#woocommerce
with aggregateRating, review, offers, sku, mpn to avoid GSC errors.
Calin will be available again tomorrow to help you with other info about this if you need to know more.
Our devs have done many improvements in that area and if there's something else you need in that area we can find a way to do it.
Yes, please add WooCommerce products in Focus Pages. We've been using this ourselves on a few online stores ourselves and it's a great money maker, especially because many store owners never go to optimize the content on their product pages. It will give you a great advantage!
If your theme allows for custom text inside WooCommerce category pages, that can also be a gold mine for Focus Pages-driven results.
Happy to get more questions if you have more questions.
.sumo-ling.HI,
Thanks for the quick reply and confirmation. Unfortunately the link you provided says this requires Yith Brands which is at minimum a £400+ recurring fee for only 6 domains meaning my cost to add brands to my main sites would be at least £800 annually! Can this be done with Perfect Brands for Woocommerce instead as that is a free plugin. Everything else ticks all the boxes but I can't pay £800 a year to include brands!
Thanks.
Calin_SquirrlyHey,
Thank you for your suggestion regarding WooCommerce brands.
We will integrate the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin with Squirrly for Brands so that you can add the product brand(s) in a custom field and JSON-LD will load those brands for WooCommerce products.
For now, we integrated ACF plugin with Squirrly SEO JSON-LD to customize the entire Schema for a post: https://howto.squirrly.co/kb/json-ld-structured-data/#ACF
Best regards, Calin
Hi Calin,
Thats great, do you have any idea how long it will be before this is implemented?
Thanks
As we are working to add many integrations with ACF plugin, the Woocommerce Product Brands integration shouldn't take long.
We will send notifications with all the future integrations to our Facebook JourneyTeam Group.
