I am building a website to reference movie showtimes.
The site shows a now playing page with a list of movies, each movie has a page with the upcoming showtimes.
I added some structured data to enhance the way search engines sees the data on my website.
Here is what I have so far:
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "ItemList",
"numberOfItems": 2,
"itemListElement": [
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"name": "Screening Event 1",
"position": 1,
"item": {
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "ScreeningEvent",
"startDate": "2021-09-18T15:15:00.000Z",
"url": "http://localhost:3000/film/Boite-noire/663260#6144ab7a22b6d900165aa836",
"inLanguage": "fr",
"location": {
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "MovieTheater",
"name": "Pathé Tunis City",
"url": "http://localhost:3000/medium/pathe-tunis-city"
},
"workPresented": {
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Movie",
"name": "Boîte noire",
"image": "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w300_and_h450_bestv2/jIfFFC4YwiI8TVaGtbl1eT9BRaI.jpg",
"url": "http://localhost:3000/film/Boite-noire/663260",
"sameAs": "https://imdb.com/title/tt10341034",
"director": {
"@type": "Person",
"name": "Yann Gozlan"
}
}
}
},
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"name": "Screening Event 2",
"position": 2,
"item": {
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "ScreeningEvent",
"startDate": "2021-09-18T20:15:00.000Z",
"url": "http://localhost:3000/film/Boite-noire/663260#6144ab8522b6d900165aa837",
"inLanguage": "fr",
"location": {
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "MovieTheater",
"name": "Pathé Tunis City",
"url": "http://localhost:3000/medium/pathe-tunis-city"
},
"workPresented": {
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Movie",
"name": "Boîte noire",
"image": "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w300_and_h450_bestv2/jIfFFC4YwiI8TVaGtbl1eT9BRaI.jpg",
"url": "http://localhost:3000/film/Boite-noire/663260",
"sameAs": "https://imdb.com/title/tt10341034",
"director": {
"@type": "Person",
"name": "Yann Gozlan"
}
}
}
}
]
}
Is there a better way to represent this kind of information without repeating data ?
My suggestion gave the google guide for Carousel --> Single, all-in-one-page list:
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Movie",
...
"@id":"https://cinema.com/lordofrings.html",
"name":"Lord of the rings",
"subjectOf":{
"@type": "ItemList",
"itemListElement": [
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": "1",
"item": {
"@type": "ScreeningEvent",
"url": "https://cinema.com/lordofrings.html#15",
"startDate": "2021-09-18T15:00:00+01:00"
}
},
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": "2",
"item": {
"@type": "ScreeningEvent",
"url": "https://cinema.com/lordofrings.html#18",
"startDate": "2021-09-18T18:00:00+01:00"
}
}
]
}
}
For ellipsis, set the required movie info and add all the required and recommended properties for the Google Rich Results Test.
