Common questions about article markup

What is article schema?+
Article schema is structured data that tells search engines a page is an article. It spells out the headline, who wrote it, when it came out and which images go with it. Google uses it to show the right title, image and date for the page in search results.
Should I use Article, BlogPosting or NewsArticle?+
BlogPosting and NewsArticle are more specific kinds of Article, and Google reads all three the same way. Use BlogPosting for blog posts, NewsArticle for news reports and Article for anything else. TechArticle suits technical how-to guides and ScholarlyArticle suits academic papers.
Which fields does Google need?+
Google doesn't require any single property for article markup. It recommends headline, image, author, datePublished and dateModified. Fill in as many as you can, as long as each one matches what's on the page.
Can I list more than one author?+
Yes. Add each author on their own row with their own name and profile URL. Google asks you to list authors separately and to put only the person's name in the name field, without a job title or a word like "By".
How should I write the dates?+
Use ISO 8601. A plain date like 2026-10-03 works. If you know the time, add it with a time zone, like 2026-10-03T09:00:00-04:00, so Google shows the right day for readers everywhere.
Where does article schema go on the page?+
Put the script tag in the article page's HTML, in the head or the body. On WordPress, an SEO plugin or a header and footer plugin can add it for you. Every article gets its own block of code with its own headline and dates.

Is Google reading the rest of your site?
