How to fix missing Schema properties: ‘offers’ should be specified
Google requires that all products have either ‘offers‘, 'review‘, or ‘aggregateRating‘ properties specified in their markup. The offers property informs Google about what you are selling. So, by informing Google about your products, you increase the chance to get rich results. Examples of the questions that correct structured data markup answers are :
- What is the availability of the product?
- What is the price of the product?
- In which currency is the product available for purchase?
- What is the URL of the product?
- Does the price of your product expire at some point?
If you provide Google with this information, you increase the chance you will get rich results for your products. With the Yoast WooCommerce SEO plugin, it’s easy to fix the either ‘offers‘, ‘review‘, or ‘aggregateRating‘ should be specified error. You can read more about the offer schema piece that WooCommerce SEO adds to your product pages on the Yoast developer blog.
