WooCommerce, local business & news
Product data for Google Shopping, your business in Google Maps, a Google News sitemap and IndexNow.
WooCommerce#
Core SEO → WooCommerce (with WooCommerce active):
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Product data | Adds brand, GTIN and MPN to the product data for rich results and free Google Shopping listings. |
| Cart & checkout | Hides cart, checkout and account pages from search results. |
| Brand attribute / GTIN attribute | Only if you keep brands or EAN codes in a product attribute. WooCommerce Brands and WooCommerce’s own GTIN field are found automatically. |
Product titles and descriptions can use {price}, {sku}, {brand} and {stock}.
Local business#
Core SEO → Local business: switch it on for a business with an address customers visit or a service area. Choose the kind of business (from shop and restaurant to dentist and lawyer) and fill in the name exactly as on your Google Business Profile, address, phone, e-mail, map position, price range and opening hours (one rule per line, for example Mo-Fr 09:00-17:00). Show it on your site with Xolius.
Google News#
Core SEO → News & indexing: a Google News sitemap at /news-sitemap.xml with the articles of the last two days. Set the publication name exactly as registered with Google News, and choose the content types.
IndexNow#
Tells Bing, Yandex, Seznam and Naver at once when a page is published, changed or removed. Only the address of the changed page is sent. Google does not take part; it reads your sitemap. Nothing is sent from local or private sites.
