Article Schema Generator

Generate Article or BlogPosting JSON-LD with author, publisher, and dates for your posts, ready to paste.

1 · The article
2 · Who wrote it

One row per person. Two names in one field is one author called “Jane Smith and John Doe”, which is nobody. The author is the individual who wrote the piece — not the site, not “Admin”, and not the editorial team, unless that really is who stands behind it.

3 · Who published it
The organisation behind the article. On a personal blog the publisher and the author are often the same human, and saying so is fine — but say it as two entities, because they answer two different questions.
4 · When
Both are converted to ISO 8601 with your browser’s UTC offset, because a timestamp with no zone is several hours of ambiguity for anything reading it.

These have to be true. dateModified means the content changed, not that a build ran. Bumping it on an untouched page to look fresh is the oldest trick in the file and the one engines are most used to seeing. Whatever you put here should match the date shown on the page.

5 · Images

Generated Article

Google lists no required properties for Article. Every field on this page is recommended, not mandatory, which means a validator showing no errors tells you almost nothing here — empty markup passes too. What decides whether this is worth adding is whether the values are true, complete and the same as what the page shows a reader. That is what the checks below look at.

Top Stories is not something markup grants. The prominent Article rich result belongs to publishers already accepted into Google News, so for most sites the return on this markup is not a snippet — it is making authorship, source and recency explicit to search engines and to the answer engines deciding whether a source is worth quoting.

Article

Paste the whole <script type="application/ld+json"> block into the article’s <head> or <body> — either works. One Article block per article page. If your CMS or SEO plugin already emits Article markup, edit that instead of adding a second one: two blocks disagreeing about the author is worse than neither.

Overview

What is a Article Schema Generator?

An Article Schema Generator creates Article or BlogPosting JSON-LD for your posts and news pages. You enter the headline, author, publisher, publish and modified dates, and image, and it outputs a valid script block you add to the page so search engines and AI engines understand the article's author, freshness, and source — useful trust and E-E-A-T signals.

Article markup (Article, BlogPosting, or NewsArticle in Schema.org) describes a post's key facts — who wrote it, who published it, when it was published and last updated, and its main image. These are exactly the authorship and freshness signals search engines and AI engines use to assess trust.

This generator builds valid Article JSON-LD from a short form. It runs entirely in your browser, and the output is yours to paste into your page.

Details

Authorship, dates, and trust signals

Article structured data captures the facts that establish a post's credibility: the headline, the author (as a Person), the publisher (as an Organization with a name and logo), datePublished and dateModified in ISO 8601 format, the main image (an absolute URL), and a short description. Accurate dates matter — they should reflect the real publish and update times and match what's shown on the page, since fabricated freshness can backfire. On rich results, Article markup's visible enhancements are limited (the prominent one, Top Stories, is mainly for news publishers in Google News), so the everyday value is giving search engines and AI engines clear authorship, source, and recency signals. That's increasingly important for E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust) and for AI engines deciding whether to trust and cite a source: a clearly attributed, dated, properly published article is easier to verify and quote. The generator outputs valid markup with the right nesting; everything runs locally in your browser. For other types, use the JSON-LD Schema Generator; to validate, the Schema Markup Validator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Article schema?

Article schema is Schema.org structured data (Article, BlogPosting, or NewsArticle) that describes a post's key facts in JSON-LD — headline, author, publisher, publish and modified dates, and main image. It helps search engines and AI engines understand who wrote and published the content and how current it is.

Which type should I use — Article, BlogPosting, or NewsArticle?

Use BlogPosting for blog posts, NewsArticle for news/journalism, and the generic Article when neither fits precisely. BlogPosting and NewsArticle are subtypes of Article, so all are valid; pick the most specific one that matches your content. The fields are largely the same across them.

Why are the dates important?

datePublished and dateModified tell search engines and AI engines when the article was published and last updated — signals of freshness that influence how recent content is judged. They should be accurate and match what's shown on the page; misrepresenting dates to fake freshness can hurt trust. Use ISO 8601 format, which the generator produces.

How should I mark up the author and publisher?

The author is a Person (a name, optionally a profile URL); the publisher is an Organization with a name and a logo image. These distinguish who wrote the piece from who published it, which supports E-E-A-T. The generator structures both correctly so the markup is valid.

Will Article schema give me a rich result?

Visible Article rich results are limited — the main one, Top Stories, is mostly for news publishers eligible for Google News. For most sites the benefit isn't a flashy snippet but clearer authorship, source, and date signals for SEO and AI. Valid markup keeps you eligible where rich results apply.

How does Article schema help with AI and E-E-A-T?

AI engines and Google's quality systems weigh who created content, who stands behind it, and how current it is. Article markup makes the author, publisher, and dates explicit and machine-readable, helping engines verify and trust your content — which supports being cited in AI answers and aligns with E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust).

Is it free, and do I need to sign up?

Yes, it's completely free with no account, no trial, and no limit on how many times you use it. Unlike most SEO suites, there's no login wall — it runs entirely in your browser, so you just open the page and use it.

Is my data private?

Yes. Everything is processed in your browser — whatever you type or paste is never sent to a server. Nothing is stored once you close the tab, so your URLs, content, and site details stay on your own device. That client-side approach is the core difference from cloud SEO tools.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. It runs in your phone's browser with nothing to install, so you can generate or check markup on Android or iOS. The layout adapts to small screens, though pasting longer code is easier on a desktop.

Does it work offline?

Once the page has loaded, the work runs entirely on your device, so it keeps working without a connection. You only need to be online to open the page the first time — which is also why nothing you enter is uploaded.

Can I copy the output?

Yes. You can copy the generated code or results to your clipboard with one click, ready to paste straight into your site's HTML, CMS, or files. Because everything runs locally, copying is instant with no upload step.

Will this directly improve my rankings or get me into AI answers?

It produces correct, standards-compliant markup that helps search engines and AI engines (Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity) understand your page clearly — which is a prerequisite for ranking and being cited. But it doesn't directly change rankings or guarantee a rich result or AI citation; those are decided by the engines based on your overall content and authority.
