hotelstaff.tv structured-data cleanup

What the crawl found

The queue row is out of date

The deploy queue calls #104 "a Google structured-data policy breach" — the 86 fabricated AggregateRating blocks. Searched across all 82 live pages this run for aggregateRating, reviewRating, ratingValue, reviewCount, ratingCount, bestRating, worstRating and Review: zero hits on every term. The demo pages that carried them are deleted; /title-item/helping-hand/ returns 404. There is no live policy breach.

What is real is the opposite problem: 70 pages embed video and none declare it, and /video-sitemap.xml still returns 404. This is lost eligibility for video rich results, not a violation.

One correction to the earlier staged fix

The 2026-09-15 doer template used maxresdefault.jpg for thumbnailUrl. Checked every ID this run: 4 of 68 maxresdefault URLs return 404 (0XrqcvyvmDM, q4RO8CsVteo, uUugz1svdco, wfHiG5xOyKM). A 404 thumbnail re-triggers the exact critical error this fix exists to remove. Everything staged here uses hqdefault.jpg, which returned 200 on all 68.

The 68 staged VideoObject blocks

Each row renders the real block on its own preview URL — paste any one into the Rich Results Test to validate the fix pre-go-live. Machine-readable bundle: all.json · proposed video-sitemap.xml.

Excluded on purpose

• /consultation-form/ — its only description is the 6-character string Follow. The fix emits nothing rather than fabricate a description.
• hotelstaff.tv/ (homepage) — carries 3 videos; the fix skips multi-video pages rather than guess which one is the subject.
• contentUrl is omitted throughout — HSTV does not host the video files, and embedUrl alone satisfies Google's requirement.
