Correction: Follow the recommended input formats and copy templates within this local browser sandbox.

⚠️ Incorrect Publisher Logo Spec

⚠️ Refreshing Dates Without Real Changes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Common questions and specifications regarding correct operation of the free Article Schema Generator utility.

Article Schema is a Schema.org structured data pattern that tells search engines exactly who wrote, published, and formatted a piece of news or blogging content.
It describes the page as a blog article in machine-readable form, helping search engines understand its metadata. Structured data does not by itself improve rankings or guarantee rich results.
No. Structured data can help Google understand article information, but Discover and Top Stories eligibility depend on Google's own systems and content requirements — valid markup alone guarantees neither inclusion nor enhanced appearance.
No. Structured data can describe authorship and publication facts, but it does not itself create expertise, experience, authority, or trust — those come from your actual content, authors, and reputation.
Google recommends images that are at least 1200 pixels wide with aspect ratios of 16:9, 4:3, or 1:1.
Yes, if the article is written by an editorial group or is a brand release, you can set author to Organization.
No. NewsArticle markup helps describe news content, but inclusion in Google News is determined by Google's policies and systems, not by the presence of structured data.
Use BlogPosting for standard lifestyle or technical blogs, and NewsArticle for timely journalism or press releases.
You can test the generated script using the official Google Rich Results Test tool or Schema Markup Validator.
This indicates the exact canonical web page URL that contains the article, separating the schema block from global templates.
They can match if the article has never been updated. Change dateModified only when a genuine revision occurred — never refresh dates just to appear fresh.
No. Search engines compare markup against visible page content; mismatches can produce warnings, reduced eligibility, or failure to qualify for enhancements. Use real values throughout.
