Rich Snippets (microdata) and local business sites

[Lighthouse13]

Have any of you ever successfully marked up a site with microdata and had it show up in the SERPs for a local business?

I have a widget that provides microdata marked location details for a local business, but each time i test it i get the generic

"Warning: The information will not appear as a rich snippet in search results, because the marked-up content does not appear to be the main focus of the page."

I am using a widget inside wordpress because these sites are automatically generated from forms and i needed something that fetches data from a database in order to automatically change it with a script.

I have used rel=author and rel=me with success, but for some reason constantly get this error for a local business page. It is relevant to the site and search because the whole site is about the business and the data is the business details.


anyone have experience with it?

Yes, I've done it for several businesses now. Most big brands, but I was able to successfully do it for my main websites as a local business. What are you using to test the microdata?

Google webmaster tools rich snippet tester.

This was dummy data i put in there, the data is displayed in a widget on every page.

Any idea how to over come the error of not being the main focus of the page?
