Overview

Article schema is the bread-and-butter for blog posts. It gives Google + AI engines the author, the publish date, and the modified date — all of which feed ranking and citation.

The required fields

headline (matches your H1), author (Person), datePublished, dateModified. Without these you're just publishing HTML.

Why dateModified matters

AI engines weight fresher content higher. Update dateModified whenever you meaningfully revise a post — it signals the post is maintained.

Common mistakes

Author as a string instead of a Person object. Missing publisher. Date in the wrong format (use ISO 8601: 2026-06-06).
