Hi Guys

Hi Guys

We have this structure data penalty for both of these Japanese sites:
<snip>

We have hired 4 SEO agencies already and but we still could not solve the issue and got rejected several times. Some of them do give good advice such as removing all schema on every pages which make sense and send for reconsideration and removing 404 pages. We even tried to remove the rating and review based on their suggestions for this site <snip>

Could anyone share with us what is the problem?

Thank you for reading this

Regards
Zyper

In general when dealing with schema, you want to give Google stable code. If your page code is constantly being tweaked they are much less likely to accept the schema.

Schema data has to match what's on the page. It can't be used to provide additional information that a regular user is unaware of.

Review and ratings schema has been a source of penalties in the past. Can't give arbitrary stars or fake testimonials, that kind of thing.

When it comes to schema, if it's not appropriate don't use it. Avoid cramming something into your site for ranking purposes.
