Adding GoodRelations to Standard Shop Software

For many popular shop applications, there exist free extension modules that make adding GoodRelations RDFa for semantic SEO as simple as a few mouse-clicks.

If your software package is not listed here, you can:

1. Ask your vendor to add GoodRelations using this recipe. We provide free support for this!
2. Add GoodRelations to your templates manually using this recipe.
3. Export your catalog in BMEcat syntax and use this tool. This is mainly interesting for manufacturers or very large shops.

Important: Once you have installed one of the modules, you MUST be patient - it can take up to 60 days until Google will show rich snippets for your site! Our analysis shows that too many shop owners give up way too soon and remove the extensions if they do not see an immediate effect.

Upcoming

As of now, we do not know of new extension modules under development. Please help us change that!

Available

• Magento: In addition to the very popular MSemantic extension, there is a new module that can be used to create Rich Snippets in Google, but we do not yet know whether it uses GoodRelations elements from schema.org. See http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/rich-snippets-suite.html. Note: We have not yet tested that one.
• Opencart: There are two free extensions developed by Transpacific Software, for company information and products and reviews (both not yet tested by us!)
• WordPress / WP 4 ecommerce: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpec-goodrelations/ (a bit outdated, looking for a new maintainer)
  • Google Rich Snippet support: Yes 
  • Source code: Mercurial repository at wordpress.org
• BitCart (not confirmed, but claim on Wikipedia)
• OpenCart (not confirmed, but claim on Wikipedia)
• osCommerce: Plug-in for osCommerce Shop Software (a bit outdated)
• TecRacer: The TecRacer Web Shop Software includes now a GoodRelations module for semantic SEO (pretty outdated GoodRelations support)
• DotNetNuke/NB-Store: The latest release of the NB_Store module for e-commerce sites based on the DotNetNuke CMS (ca. 600,000 production web sites) seems to support GoodRelations in RDFa.
