I have a client who operates locally but also sells his services (in the managed technology niche) across North America. I have created these two scripts for his website and was wondering if you guys could help. This is the first time I have done schema.org of this nature.

I am hoping to put this one on the services page (we do not have local pages for each service area).

<script type='application/ld+json'>
 {
    "@context": "http://schema.org",
    "@type": "Service",
    "areaServed": ["Canada", "United States"],
    "produces": "Managed IT"
}
</script>

Also, here is the local business schema I created. What do you think? I am pretty sure it is correct, but will it mess with my services page schema if I place it in the footer? Am I sending too many signals?

 <script type='application/ld+json'> 
{
  "@context": "http://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Client",
  "url": "https://client.com/",
  "logo": "https://client.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/header-
logo.png",
  "image": "https://client.com/wp-
content/uploads/2016/11/scout2016_small.jpg",
  "description": "Discover what works and what needs updating to

   "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "109-9440 202 St",
    "addressLocality": "Langley",
    "addressRegion": "British Columbia",
    "postalCode": "V1M4A6",
    "addressCountry": "Canada"
      },
      "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": "49.174440",
    "longitude": "-122.664108"
  },
      "openingHours": "Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr 09:00-17:00",
      "contactPoint": {
        "@type": "ContactPoint",
        "contactType": "Customer Service",
        "telephone": "+1 (866)-546-5283"
     }
    }
     </script>

With structured data, there are never "too many signals" as long as these signals are correct and don’t deceive.

You can combine the two script elements into one. This offers the advantage to easily link the two items together, so you can say: this Service is provided by this LocalBusiness.

On the service page, you could have:

{
  "@context": "http://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "The business",
  "@reverse": { "provider": 
    {
      "@type": "Service",
      "name": "The service"
    }
  }
}

(I’m making use of @reverse because Schema.org doesn’t define an inverse property for provider. Instead of using @reverse, you could as well make the Service the top-level item and use provider to reference the LocalBusiness item.)
