Separate Schema.org meaning from Google feature eligibility.

Google supports Article structured data for news, blog, and sports articles. TechArticle and BlogPosting can provide more specific Schema.org meaning when they accurately describe the visible content.

Use and avoid

Apply the type only when the visible role and evidence support it.

Use when
  • A publisher needs clean starting examples.
  • Different article templates need distinct subtypes.
  • Author and publisher nodes must be reused consistently.
  • The team needs a reference without a workflow prompt.
Avoid
  • Using Article on product or category pages.
  • Publishing dates that differ from visible content.
  • Using an author name without a canonical profile.
  • Adding decorative images as the main article image.

Implementation model

Make the page role, identity, fields, and validation decisions in order.

01

Choose the subtype

Match Article, BlogPosting, or TechArticle to the visible role.

02

Connect the author

Use a stable Person or Organization identity.

03

Connect the publisher

Reference the canonical Organization node.

04

Use visible dates

datePublished and dateModified must match the article.

05

Provide crawlable images

Use relevant image URLs in suitable aspect ratios.

Acceptance checks

Do not approve the markup because the JSON parses.

The content, entity ownership, canonical URLs, policy state, and maintenance source must also pass.

Check

Editorial page

The URL is genuinely an article or guide.

Check

Subtype fit

The selected type is specific and accurate.

Check

Author identity

The author is visible and linked.

Check

Publisher identity

The publisher node is stable.

Check

Date accuracy

Dates reflect real editorial events.

Check

Image relevance

Images belong to the article and are crawlable.

Implementation examples

Use the examples as a starting structure, not production data.

Questions

Article Schema Examples for Editorial, Blog, and SEO Content Pages questions.

Which article type should be used?

Use the most specific accurate subtype supported by the visible editorial role.

Are there required Google Article properties?

Google currently says there are no required Article properties, but recommends adding the properties that apply.

Should every author have a Person node?

Use a stable identity pattern and visible author profile where appropriate.

Can an example be copied unchanged?

Replace every placeholder with approved visible data and validate the final live URL.

Next route

Prepare schema cues after visible copy, entity ownership, and URLs are approved.

MIRENA can audit the page role, identity, fields, current feature support, and validation route. Production markup still needs human review and live testing.
