Article Schema Generator

An article schema generator builds Article JSON-LD with headline, image, dates, author and publisher. It makes authorship and freshness explicit for search and AI systems.

It runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste or upload is sent to a server or stored.

How to read the result and act on it

Add the output to the article page as JSON-LD. A good result includes a headline that matches the visible title, one or more images, datePublished, dateModified, an author with a name and ideally a profile URL, and a publisher with a logo. Use ISO 8601 dates. Check that author and dates also appear in the visible page, since the markup should reflect what readers see. Choose the type that fits: Article, NewsArticle or BlogPosting. Run the page through the Rich Results Test or Schema Markup Validator, and fix errors before deploying the template across other posts.

Common mistakes to avoid

Do not change dateModified for trivial edits such as fixing a comma, as this misrepresents freshness. Another mistake is using the site name as the author instead of the real writer, or listing an author who does not exist on the page. Avoid headlines that differ from the title shown to readers. Do not use Article markup on pages that are not articles, such as product pages. Also remember that images in the markup need to be crawlable and relevant, and that the schema alone will not fix thin content.

Does article schema help rankings?

No direct boost. It clarifies author and dates, which supports understanding and eligibility for article features.

Should dateModified change on every edit?

Only for meaningful updates. Misleading freshness dates can hurt trust.

Which Article type should I use?

Use NewsArticle for news reporting, BlogPosting for blog posts and Article for other editorial content. All three are accepted by Google, and the more specific types simply describe the content more precisely.

What image size is best for article schema?

Provide high-resolution images that are crawlable and relevant to the article. Google suggests supplying several aspect ratios, such as 16x9, 4x3 and 1x1, so it can choose the best crop for each surface.
