What Is Article Schema Generator?

The Article Schema Generator creates JSON-LD structured data for editorial content — blog posts, news articles, and opinion pieces. Article schema helps Google understand your content type, authorship, and publication details, enabling rich results features like Top Stories carousel, article cards with images, and enhanced mobile search results. Google uses article metadata to determine content freshness, authorship authority (supporting E-E-A-T signals), and content categorization.

Why Use Article Schema Generator?

  • Supports Article, NewsArticle, and BlogPosting types
  • Author attribution with Person schema for E-E-A-T signals
  • Publication and modification dates for content freshness
  • Featured image for visual search result enhancements
  • Enables Top Stories and Discover eligibility

Common Use Cases

Author Authority

Technical Guide

Use Article as the generic type, NewsArticle for journalistic content eligible for Top Stories, and BlogPosting for blog content. Google requires headline and image at minimum. Recommended properties: author (Person with name and url), datePublished (ISO 8601), dateModified, publisher (Organization with name and logo), and mainEntityOfPage. The headline should match or closely align with your H1. For NewsArticle, dateline is recommended. Author should link to an author bio page. Google uses dateModified to determine freshness — always update this when revising content.
