Overview
This contact widget comes with microdatas & microformats markup, so that search engines can use it in their search results. They can help display contact information about your business or yourself below your website in search results, and even a map with your location, to improve your local SEO.
The telephone & email are linked so that visitors can click on it and make a call (through mobile or skype) or send a mail from their computer or their mobile devices.
You can also display a static image map of your location, linking to the address’ Google Maps page, and display a download link for a vCard.

one broken feature, one difficult ui issue
by stason·10 years ago·2 replies
2 problems I run into:
1) the plugin injects wp-content/uploads/rc_geositemap.xml which doesn’t exit (returns 404). the author committed to fixing this issue more than a year ago, but it’s still there. this non-existing sitemap appears in sitemap_index.xml (created by yoast SEO, but the problem comes from this plugin, not yoast’s one). google webmaster tools reports this as a broken xml. Please fix.
2) once the rich snippet widget is created it’s confusing how to edit it. it keeps on selecting with “V” “Side Bar 1” even though I created it in Side Bar 2. Took some time to figure out how to get to edit the existing widget in side bar 2 and had to dump the automatically added empty Rich snippet widget to Side Bar 1. This part is not user-friendly, but can be figured out.

Added it, was super easy. (I dont have any special coding skills) I added all the possible contact info, and added the widget to my sidebar.
Afterward, ran the post thru the google schema markup testing tool, and found all the correct schema for hcard, and my profession, embedded in the article.
Good job
