Article Schema Generator

What Article schema is for

Article schema describes a blog post or news piece in a format search engines can read: the headline, author, publish date, update date and main image. It helps Google and AI tools understand who wrote the piece and when, which supports trust and freshness.

How to use this generator

Enter the headline, author name, publish date, last updated date, image address and publisher details. Copy the JSON-LD and add it to the post, or to your site header if your theme supports per post code. Check the result with Google’s Rich Results Test.

A quick example

For a post titled “How Much Does a WordPress Website Cost?”, you would enter that headline, the author, the date it went live, the date you last revised it and the featured image address. The tool wraps those into valid code you can paste straight in.

Article schema FAQs

Do I need this if I use Rank Math or Yoast? Those plugins already add Article or BlogPosting schema. Use this generator for custom pages or to compare against what your plugin outputs. Do not add a second copy to the same page.

Should I use Article or BlogPosting? BlogPosting is a more specific type of Article. Either is accepted. Pick one and keep it consistent across your blog.

Which author should I list? Use a real named author with a bio page where possible. It strengthens credibility.

Does it help rankings? It does not boost rankings directly. It helps search engines understand the page and can improve how it appears.
