Article Schema Generator
An article schema generator writes the Article structured data for a blog post or news story. Choose Article, BlogPosting or NewsArticle, fill in the headline, images, dates and authors, and this free tool writes valid JSON-LD you can paste into the page. It follows Google's author markup advice, such as one author per entry.
Several URLs, one per line.
Rows: type (Person or Organization), name, url. Add one author per row.
Generated JSON-LD
Google doesn't guarantee that structured data will show up as a rich result.
Test markup with Google Rich Results Test →What is a article schema generator and when should you use it?
Article structured data informs search engine crawlers about the explicit entities, author attribution, publication timelines, and editorial hierarchy of a written article, news piece, or blog post. Google utilizes Article schema to understand author credentials (E-E-A-T signals), content freshness, and topical authority across Google Search, Google Discover, and AI answer platforms. For comprehensive author entity modeling, pair your article markup with the Profile Page Schema Generator and establish breadcrumb hierarchies with the Breadcrumb Schema Generator. For organization credentials, generate corporate structured data using the Organization Schema Generator. If your article contains instructional workflows, format actionable steps using the How-To Schema Generator, embed frequently asked questions via the FAQ Schema Generator, or review complete property compliance using the Schema Property Completeness Checker. You can also validate your code syntax with the JSON-LD Syntax Checker, extract existing markup from competitor pages using the Schema Extractor, analyze meta tags with the Meta Tag Analyzer, and explore our full collection of Schema Markup Tools.

Result interpretation & practical applications
When evaluating the output of the article schema generator, review the parsed metrics against your specific site architecture. Outputs are formatted for direct implementation into your HTML source, web server configuration, or Google Search Console audit files.
Always inspect generated values for contextual nuance. Automated tools highlight structural patterns, but manual verification confirms that technical directives align with your overarching SEO strategy.
Technical rules and limitations
- Article has no required properties; add the recommended ones that apply.
- List each author in a separate author entry; don't merge names into one.
- Put only the author's name in the name field, not a title, honorific or "posted by".
- Use Person for people and Organization for organisations.
- Images must be crawlable, represent the content and be in a format Google Images supports.
Google's Article structured data documentation.
Common mistakes and troubleshooting
- Writing two authors in one name field.
- Adding "By" or a job title to the name.
- Using a logo as the article image.
- Setting a modified date earlier than the published date.
