<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",

  }

Paste this into your page's <head>. Then validate it with Google's Rich Results Test before you ship — a schema with a missing required field won't earn a rich result.

Authorship and freshness, made explicit

Article schema won't rank a weak post, but it makes the signals Google cares about — who wrote this, when, and who published it — unambiguous. That matters most for time-sensitive content and for building the authorship trail that supports E-E-A-T.

Keep the dates honest: update dateModified when you actually revise the piece, not on a schedule. Add a breadcrumb block to the same page, and scan your live post from the homepage to catch anything else missing.

Frequently asked questions

What is Article schema?

Article structured data describes a news story, blog post, or editorial page — its headline, author, publish and modified dates, and publisher. It helps Google understand authorship and freshness, and supports enhanced presentation in Google News and Discover.

Which date fields matter?

datePublished and dateModified. Keep dateModified accurate — updating it when you genuinely revise the article gives Google a legitimate freshness signal. Don’t bump it without real changes.

Do I need a publisher logo?

It is recommended. A publisher Organization with a logo helps Google attribute the content correctly. Use a clear, reasonably sized logo URL that stays stable over time.

Where do I put the code?

Paste it inside the <head> of the article it describes. The headline, author, and dates in the markup should match what is visible on the page.
